Friday night Aaron and I had dinner at The Nodding Head Brewery on Sansom Street. The baked brie is delish and their own Zephyr was enjoyable, but miserable-ness ensued. I am sad that we had to go home early because so many friends wanted to hang out! Next time...
Work has been pretty nuts lately. One of our hospitals is gearing up for a 3-day strike because the for-profit company who owns the facility is being totally evil (scheduling and not showing up for bargaining sessions, proposing 400% increases in what workers pay out of pocket for healthcare, etc.) So I've been pitching in and making some phone calls to help out my coworkers. I really like these workers - they're pretty strong! I always get super creeped out about any company that's for-profit in health care. It should be for-patients! Yet another example of why we need reform in this country!!
My family's thanksgiving is this Saturday. I'm in charge of the scalloped corn and Aaron is making his world-famous (er, famous to the few people who've tasted it) pumpkin roll, a Central PA holiday favorite.
My fam always does holidays on days that are not the actual holiday so that everyone can hang out with their in-laws on the actual holiday. I think this is a great system that should be replicated in familes all across North America.Speaking of Thanksgiving, my oldest friend Helga appeared on a Food Network Thanksgiving Special last night. Here she is - I'm so proud!
That's all for now, friends and lovers.
