Food For The Ages

The theme this weekend was lots of food, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! However, in preparation for the holiday, we here at Wesley like to "pre-game" for the family feasts that come next week. First, on Friday night, we partake in the glory of the wonderful and semi-mysterious Homeplace Restaurant in Catawba, VA. You have to go to this place once in your lifetime in order for your time on this Earth to be complete! Dinner at Homeplace was fantastic as always, and it was great to dine with 35 or so of my good friends here.

But wait, there's more! On top of that, the officers and I, along with some generous and gracious helpers who cooked various dishes, prepared a Thanksgiving feast of epic proportions tonight. The guest list topped out at 43 at my last count, and though we had a couple of tight spots where we thought we wouldn't have enough food, we pulled through with a few minimal leftovers. This is bad news for the Residents here, in a way, because we won't have as much to "take care of" this week. Having everyone enjoy a good meal is enough reward, though - especially when I think I ate too much tonight!

On that note, it's time to sleep off the aftereffects of the dinner. What about my project work and studying, you say? Eh, that can wait until I have a full night of sleep in me.
