To paraphrase a friend, we drew on one another's cooking skills to round out (and heck, overstuff) the meal. The turkey was served at midnight, but it didn't matter - the city never sleeps!
To see our Midnight Turkey recipe, just head on over here. :)
Meantime, I've been tagged by Ginta at Hunting and Gathering and Hitomi Neko to answer the I Love Your Blog quiz! Thank you! Ginta has a lovely way of mixing terrific 2nd-hand finds with current pieces to create something utterly new. Hitomi says she's a blogging newbie, but I've already enjoyed her film reviews. :) Here goes...
1. Why did you create the blog? I may have mentioned this before, but because of my nomadic life, it was a way to feel more connected to faraway family & friends.
2. What kind of blogs do you follow? I love blogs by people who have a passion or just good fun writing about their joys!
3. Favorite makeup brand? I'm not terribly loyal, I'll try anything that sounds promising. :)
 |
| Jason Wu's Spring 2011 collection |
5. Your indispensable makeup product? Burt's Bees lip balm.
6. Your favorite color? For clothes, lilacs, dusky roses and rich browns. For interiors, bright colours (one of my last apartments was completely in primary colours!) or soothing neutrals.
 |
| Verona, Italia |
10. Make the last question and answer to yourself: What invention would help your life? Something that instantly transports me to any part of the world! And anything that makes me look like I get 8 hours of sleep & workout 2 hours everyday!;) XO

If you invent that machine, send one my way! ;-)
One of my friends is hosting a holiday feast in a couple of weeks - which will include a turkey. I'm convinced that he has no idea how to make one. I feel obligated to head to his place earlier and check in. ;-) No faith.
Oh I want to go to Italy :). I'd actually just like to drink my way through it...dining...drinking...napping...
Friendsgivings are the best. I miss my family a lot at Thanksgiving, so it makes it so nice to be surrounded by friends. I don't eat turkey (I don't eat meat), but I cook lots of delicious dishes like my mama's squash casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, greens, sometimes my nana's sweet potato souffle . . . delish!
Great interview! That turkey looks yummy. My belly is growling for Thanksgiving dinner!
when you find that instant teleporter let me know! i'll use it to head directly to enoteca in verona... xo bb
You've got Filipino heritage! That is so cool! Yes, that was tagalog and I'm hoping my Mom sees the message!
J, you're never too old to learn and I suspect you're not anywhere close to old! I had to learn french, one of the hardest languages in the world!
I've browsed and browsed through your archives - your blog is truly beautiful!
Jude, your comments on my blog are always among the sweetest and most encouraging comments that are left. Thanks so much for sharing pieces of your heart with me! How did you endure FOUR years on a different continent from your sweetheart?! How often did you get to see each other?! What did you do on holidays away from family and friends?
Anyway, I'm so glad that you DID create this blog, because I absolutely love it!
Turkey @ midnight sounds like a fun Friendsgiving......love the quiz always nice to get introduced to new bloggers x Emma
I think turkey at midnight would such a fun memory!!! and great interview answers...have an amaaaaazing holiday!
Jason wu is amazing. his designs are daring and fresh, probably derived from his past skill as a dressmaker for dolls.
anyway, love the poster of the movie.
her eyes, her skin, her hair there shout nothing else but melancholy.:)
Friendsgiving is the best. I hope that you have a happy Thanksgiving.
I want one of those inventions (number 10) as well!!
:D
It was so fun to read your responses to this quiz! Totally agreed on the Burt's Bees.
