St. Patrick's Day in Elmhurst

03.11.12 - Elmhurst, Illinois - I know, I know. My excuses are getting tired, but February was the Auto Show, which meant video (did you see them? Chicago Auto Show Webisodes). At any rate, the beginning of St. Patrick's Day season (yes, there's a season here), I went over to Elmhurst to check out the acclaimed "second largest parade in Illinois". It was fun. Mostly the weather was great and the beer was plentiful.

Hooray, Elmhurst!

Thanksgiving - Euro Style

11.28.09 - A Coruña, Spain - I made Thanksgiving dinner after I was gifted cream of mushroom soup and cranberry sauce and figured there wasn't anything else to do with it, so I might as well make dinner. It took about 6 hours to get everything together and make it from scratch, but gosh darnit, I made it happen and the sweet potato casserole was awesome. The turkey was in fact dry, but so be it. Also I had to fry onions for the green bean casserole and use colored marshmallows for the sweet potatoes, but it was good.

Filipa and Roisin came over to humor me and eat food they both agreed was a bit strange. I suppose it is. But that's America.

Sweet potato casserole. It tastes the same, I swear.
