"i know all these things and they joys that they can bring and i'll share them all for a cup of coffee and to wear your ring."~cowboy junkies

on saturday, my house will be a buffet line of amazing proportion. i will make the vegetarian cheese fondue with the cubes of french bread and someone said something about a cheeseball and some crackers and pewse will bring the rum and vodkas. and there will be a twenty pound turkey and maple candied baby carrots and cracker dressing and scalloped pineapple. and the girls said something about some wine, too. there will be green bean casserole and jess said she's makin' home made cranberry sauce and candied sweet potatoes. and nacho was talkin' about that german potato salad or that other german salad with the lemon juice and for sure, pineapple cake. (and michaels says she makes some really awesome pineapple cake.) and there will be mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetarian gravy. and erin's baking bread in a kitchen at penn state, so we won't even need to buy that. and she wants to make shorbread cookies and brian's making pumpkin pie. and on top of all of that pumpkin goodness, i'm throwing in some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, too.

there will be all of that food....a ton of it... a spread that the manor at 920 first avenue has never known....

but most of all, there will be laughter, comradery, and shining warmth that fourteen or fifteen people packed into a small apartment eating and drinking and laughing can create...a warmth that only comes with an understanding that yes, we are all, ultimately, friends.

here's to friendship, cats.
