We survived Thanksgiving with only a few hiccups – my dad’s flight getting delayed by three hours on Thanksgiving morning, the oven turning off while the turkey was roasting, a broken meat thermometer, and burnt cheesecake crust (I blame the oven – see above). More importantly, we survived NYC at Thanksgiving, which is, in a [...]
