Stupid Pumpkin Muffins

Ugh.

Its Thanksgiving back home. Irt and I tried to look for a turkey dinner at some restaurant here in Singapore. Singapore only acknowledges American Thanksgiving (fair enough, its far superior - Janell, that was for you - haha). So no turkey dinner. No stuffing. No mashed potatoes. No cranberry sauce. No pumpkin pie. Nothing.

So to ease my thanksgiving misery I thought I would bake pumpkin muffins. Because I make really good pumpkin muffins.

So I did.

As the delicious aroma of pumpkin filled our condo... the worse my mood became.
Stupid pumpkin muffins - reminded me of home and of all the deliciousness we are missing this weekend.

Our usual Thanksgiving dilemma is making sure we make it to all 14 thanksgiving dinners that our families are hosting.
I'm exaggerating.
Its like 3-4.
But its honestly a testament to our time management skills that we somehow make it to all the dinners. We rush around all weekend typically from the friday-monday making SURE we see everyone. Im usually the one craving time to relax - while Irt is enjoying every minute of every family dinner we are at. Hahaha :)

Well. I miss it. I miss the rushing around of thanksgiving. LORD KNOWS I miss the food. and dear god. I miss our families.

Maybe living abroad would be easier of our families weren't so awesome. Maybe living abroad would be easier if our families didn't make delicious food.
MAYBE living abroad would be easier if i could find some damn turkey this weekend.

But here we are / here I am. Turkey-less in Singapore. So. All of you who get to spend time with your awesome families this weekend. I. Envy. You. Enjoy it. Get as sick as I did last thanksgiving. Just kidding. don't to that. My liver was fat.

This picture is from last T-giving. My favorite little friend is in a turkey coma. Laying on the floor. I joined him shortly after. 

SIGH! 73 days til Christmas... 

Fun Fact: I actually hate Turkey. And I typically only eat the sides. lol. But now that turkey isn't even an option... I find myself craving it*.

*craving due to living abroad. (its funny how cautious I have to be when expressing the many cravings i have throughout the day) 

Stupid muffins.
