This year’s Thanksgiving Dinner was notably “Blog-worthy.” Unlike the fictionalized Hallmark Card or “pictorial calendar version of the apocryphal, “First Thanksgiving Dinner ( see” M.405, “Turkey, Cranberry and Cognitive Dissonance”), it was singularly meaningful and thus was memorable, as well as a savoury experience. As declared in the cited writing, we have much to be thankful for as Americans.
Seated at the holiday dinner table, in addition to immediate family, were six American diners, of Persian extraction, related to us by the marriage to our son-in-law, a neurologic academic and research scientist to his Persian -American wife and licensed physician, her father, a Persian-American physician, and mother, a retired University lecturer, two recently arrived Pakistani physicians, husband and wife, awaiting American certification, our Step-Son’s wife, a Persian- American physician, in-laws, a Persian-American physician, his wife, a retired University professor; a close family friend, a the latter, a computer-assisted stock investor, as well as the author of a hard-covered Persian cookbook, an American born and educated Doctor of Education and Doctor of Nursing, partly retired from her long standing position as Vice-Dean of the Columbia UIniversity School of Nursing, and we, as American born retirees with 50 years of New York law practice.
The conversation throughout the holiday eating orgy was spontaneous, friendly, and varied, relative to such esoteric subjects as ethnic cuisine, family, and notable personal experiences. The thematic event may fittingly ranging be described as spontaneous, effusive, and warmly intimate, ranging from the prolix logistics of the admission of foreign-born physicians to American practice, nuanced cuisine, personal experiences, and the experience of owning domestic cats. In sum, we found this year’s Thanksgiving Dinner experience, warm and significantly memorable.
We continue to be eternally unable to locate Trump’s caravans of criminals, drug dealers, and prostitutes” invading our Nation as ubiquitously declared by our adjudicated felonious President. We have given up the propagandistic and fallacious search for quite some time.
