THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING: Jack's Thanksgiving Eats

​Thanksgiving is a holiday engineered, top to bottom, around the assumption that you have somewhere to go and someone to go with. This is a dinner of hand-cooked Asian fusion food. It is an attempt to be un-alone together, which is maybe the only kind of un-alone there is.

​There will be food. There will be other people. There will be, God willing, a sense that being here instead of there was not a failure but a kind of choice.

​Come.

​“For how can we condemn something that is ephemeral, in transit? In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.”

​~Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
