The one where Ginger Rogers gets Punched

This was the second wonky / un-traditional Thanksgiving in a row.

Last year on the day of Thanks, I was on the other side of the world eating curry and rice, studying for a test, in my small Takadanobaba apartment.

This year, my parents were at my step-grandparents' house while my aunt and cousins were at her husband's parents' house, etc. etc. Basically it ended up just being my nana, pop-pop and Uncle. On top of that, I had work the next day at 6 a.m.

Regardless of all these negatives, Thanksgiving was a joyous time. Instead of cooking, I opted to buy pre-made deliciousness from Whole Foods' prepared food section.
-- "Celebration Roast"
-- Cranberry pecan stuffing
-- Mashed potatoes with vegan cheese
-- Maple sweet potatoes with vegan marshmallows
-- Broccoli

All vegan and all fantastic.

Vegan pumpkin pie for dessert AND my nana surprised me with her a veganized version of her apple pie. So so tasty.

After the dinner, we all watched some old timey movies. It was fun listening to my grandparents talk about their favorite actors and how much my nana used to love to do the Jitterbug. So quintessential ( great nan was apparently fantastic at the Charleston ).

The movie we watched was called "Carefree". A screwball comedy starring Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire involving mismatched lovers, hypnotism, soft-shoe, and in the end, Miss Rogers gets socked right in the face.

Feel free to watch HERE.

Hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable as well.
