Thanksgiving Morning!

And the Thanksgiving fun begins. ..

In our Roman College of 173 spry priestly candidates no moment is found to be dull, and Thanksgiving morning was no exception! All the guys from the 4th floor came together for a lovely greasy American breakfast complete with fresh cinnamon rolls, bagels, fresh fruit, and egg casserole [which you will hear more about], Dunkin' Donuts Coffee, and hashbrows. It was simply amazing! Since we, the students cooked everything in our 5th floor student kitchen, an area that conveniently overlooks the Basilica of St. Peter, one would not be surprised to find the signs of male cooking left in the wake of this breakfast. We all know how excited we men get when we fire up a grill, the bigger the flame is the name of the game. Fire is a great compliment to any testosterone guided culinary experience whether it is a grilled steak, and elegant flambé or a little grease fire. Our breakfastly experience bore the element of surprise through a grease fire. It turns out that our egg casserole which included cheese and bacon had so much of these ingredients that the grease bubbled over the edges of the pan and moved swiftly, but not violently, into a flame-kissed breakfast delight!
The time shared was a lot of fun as through each one of these events we grow to know each other better whether it be through our successes or blunders or even the occasional surprise which fuels the fire, if you will, of our animated time together here at the North American College...our Roman home away from home!
