Making the Thanksgiving Feast
... was a great success, even though we had to forgo Jeremy's pie due to the freakishly high price of nuts here. Apparently it was 5 euro 50 for 200 grams or so.
The only downside (besides the pie, of course) is that I found out just how gross green bean casserole looks without the onions on top. And of course, it sucks that I'm not at home eating dinner with my family. We always have the best conversations over holiday ...

A day in Amsterdam
... did not see during the day. Walking home tonight we passed several, and Emma's reaction that it is sad to see these women standing in the windows matches one of mine. My sadness is mixed with a combination of anger that they are legally allowed to be exploited in such a fashion. And that men are allowed to further exploit these women who are predominantly women of colour, and generally form a marginalized part of the community despite the health care and legal status of their ...
