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
