still, croptop really wants to bring some stovetop. he is the one who has been lobbying for a korean-style thanksgiving over the past 5 years. and he is now the one who "feels sad" about the absence of a turkey, no mashed potatoes. (reminder: croptop does not eat meat.)
croptop also ordered a few pies from a baker in washington heights. an employee there has agreed to drop them off on his way home to brooklyn tonite. if he does not pull through, it will be a sad pumpkinpieless thanksgiving day.
ABOUT US
We started as a book club. Intellectual pursuits quickly gave way to other human impulses, namely, eating. That was then.
Now, it's just one person talking about how great those two books were.

What a spread! Be sure to take some pics for posting.
I think it's natural to feel sad. It's a sort of buyer's remorse. After having worked for or desired something for so long, to have it finally in front of you makes you nostalgic for the journey.
Maybe croptop will cry into his place of beef ribs.
