today is my father's birthday. to celebrate, a large portion of my Croatian family has come over to our house with many types of delicious foods. including a full pig on a spit.
i just love the atmosphere of this kind of event, and the social and moral values displayed at this gathering are so differant from the norm in my house, it always makes me smile.
anyone else enjoy this kind of occasion?

before my grandmother died, we had massive events like this but they were german, there was so much food that it filled 2 entire tables. everyone talked in german and i didnt know what the hell they were saying, but at least they told the really good jokes in english

my mother's family are all ukranian jews. besides the ungodly amounts of food, every family gathering is characterized by a virtual raid of every neighborhood grocery store for vodka. by the end of the night there are dozens and dozens of empty shot glasses lined up on the table. my grandfather used to mix vodka into my soda when i wasn't looking. i was five. oh, good times.
