More Heavy Gravy?

This weekend at home everyone is celebrating Thanksgiving. We are here missing out on the delicious meals and great company of friends and family. A Thanksgiving tradition with our family is also the endless Seinfeld references from a great episode. "More heavy gravy?" is said around the table more than once. It never gets old.
Of course the myth that turkey makes you sleepy is a popular one but it is not entirely true. The chemical tryptophan is in turkey but there is more than that which makes us crave a little after dinner nap. Eating huge meals, drinking delicious wine and other alcoholic beverages is enough to make your eyes droop.

So while we are here in Taiwan, (where at our school they do have Thanksgiving dinner, but it is of course the American version), we are thinking of you!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
