Happy Thanksgiving! Today is Dewi's first Thanksgiving and our last Thanksgiving in the U.S. for some time. Derek is happily stuffing fennel into the smallest turkey that I could find at Safeway, Dasher is hiding by me so he doesn't have to go into his new airline pet carrier, Dewi is napping, and my parents are getting up from their slumber in our basement.

Our time in D.C. is slowly coming to an end, as the end of November draws near. Our last days of work are almost here (whoopeee!!!) and at that point the uber-packing & donating & shipping will begin. Our house is almost rented, and we finally got ourselves to plan our goodbye party. I had the bright idea of having it at Singapore Bistro, one of my favorite restaurants in D.C., but unfortunately learned that it just closed. No more cumi-cumi bakar for me on 19th and N. Good thing I can have all the cumi-cumi bakar that I want very soon. I can't wait for all that yummy food. In the meantime, we've been trying to eat the foods that we'll likely have trouble finding at our soon-to-be home. That means lots of Etete for me! I will miss those Derek tibs and Yemisir Wat that make my mouth water just even envisioning it in my head. I heard that there is Ethiopian food available on Arab Street. I hope it's not just a rumor. Guess I'll soon find out!
