It was that time of the year. Thanksgiving.

Like every other year previously, there was a gathering held between a group of friends. This year they appeared to be one short, as Chuy was in Chicago celebrating Thanksgiving with his family. So understandably, he was missing out on this years potluck dinner. Everyone took turns hosting the celebratory dinner. This year, Christian had offered to do so. He might have been fairly new to the group, but being a trained chef and owner of a restaurant chain; he was no stranger to hosting events; let alone cooking for them.

Delicious scents had filled the apartment complex and the hallways, for most of the day. Christian had started preparing everything early. Spending most of the day in the kitchen. Whilst he was focusing on cooking the main meal; he knew that everyone would be bringing something with them. Given that they had a big gathering, lots of food and drinks was always part of their celebrations. The main meal consisted of roast potatoes, all different kind of vegetables, turkey and even a roast chicken for those that didn't like Turkey. Then came the home-made gravy for the meats and Christian's home-made apple sauce. It was an old family recipe, that he had adapted from his mother over the years. He didn't make the apple sauce often. Mainly on occasions like this and during the Christmas Holidays. Christian even did an eggplant dish, if anyone was vegetarian. With the meat slow-cooking in the oven; he could hear the satisfying sizzling and crackling coming from within. Wanting the meat to be tender.

Few hours later...

The last of the preparations were going underway for tonight's dinner. As Christian was setting up the table; he double counted the plates and culinary to make sure that he had enough. But it didn't seem like his table would be big enough to hold everything; once the food would be out for everyone to grab what they wanted. With that thought in mind, he headed across the hall. Knocking at his cousin's apartment door. Christian hummed to himself as he waited for Jasmine or her room-mate Isabella to open the door.

As soon as he had knocked; he heard the familiar barks behind the door. Mainly coming from Jasmine's excited Retriever Puppy Thor. The young pup was always a bouncing ball of energy.

Jasmine had smelled the delicious food cooking for most of the day. It was enough to make her mouth water. No doubt it'd be as delicious as it smelled. Knowing her cousin was a talented chef, everyone no doubt would be in for a treat. Whilst she herself wasn't big on cooking. There were a few things that she could make. Most of the things she was bringing tonight for the pot-luck were sweet things. Jasmine spent some time baking for the evening; making her famous chocolate chip cookies. Having cooked big batches; there was enough cookies for everyone. They were all cooling off on the racks in the kitchen counter. In the fridge; there was also a raspberry trifle that was still setting. Having made the trifle last night, so the jelly and custard could be set by the time the thanksgiving dinner was due.

She had just finished getting ready, when she heard her dog barking excitedly. The young female was wearing a dark blue dress, with silver like pattern on it. Along with shoes to match. [Color=Teal] "Coming." [/Color] She yelled out, knowing someone was most likely by the door. Heading out of the bathroom, as she finished fixing her hair into stylish curls. Jasmine patted Thor on the head, rubbing behind his ears whilst he was near enough jumping at the wooden door. Opening the door, she smiled seeing her cousin. [Color=Teal] "If it isn't the chef himself, how can I be off help?" [/Color] Teasing him with a light smile.

Christian chuckled, as the door opened. It was the usual tease his cousin uttered. Catching Thor as the pup leaped at him, to say hello. [Color=GoldenRod] "I was wondering, if I could borrow your table? I am not sure mine's big enough to hold everything." [/Color] Especially, if everyone else was bringing booze, snacks, desserts and other dishes themselves. He wanted to be prepared.

With a nod, Jasmine walked over to the semi big table that she and Isabella had in their open kitchen. [Color=Teal] "Sure, I don't mind. I don't think Isa would mind either." [/Color] She started to remove things off of the table, so it could be clear. Looking over her shoulder, she then yelled out to her room-mate. [Color=Teal] "Bell, could you help me and my cousin move our table? He's borrowing it for tonight's pot-luck dinner." [/Color] The table being heavy, it needed at least 3 people to handle it. Instead of grabbing another one of the guys that lived in their building; two girls helping her cousin would have to do when moving the table. She was sure that between the 3 of them, they could handle it.
