T is for turkey (and technology)

Here is a little story about how technology and the internet saved my thanksgiving.

This year, my cousins (all 3 of them) and I decided to take 'take over' our annual family Thanksgiving dinner. During planing, we generated a list of what we wanted to make for dinner and divide it among each other. As T-day grew closer emails started going out asking for others to pick up ingredients that were not available in our local grocery stores.

Finally Thanksgiving was here! And everybody had what they needed...except me. I was missing some ripe plantains (which somebody forgot to pickup for me...). Being in New Jersey... I had no clue where to go and some family members were 'less than helpful' since most of us are not from the area or just moved there recently. 3 hours until dinner is served and I'm missing ingredient! What do I do?!

An IMLP Thanksgiving

Mmmm, Turkey. After living by myself for almost 5 months now, bad habits have begun to set in. Mainly, the laziness of not wanting to cook food. So naturally, a week at home with an incredible home cooked meal sounds very appetizing.

As most of you readers out there may know already, I am an IMLP working at NBC Universal in Universal City, California, and I'm actually from New York which makes going home to see family a bit of a hike.

So what do IMLP's do for the Holidays when they live so far from home?
