Thursday: November/27/08
Who: Starbuck, Kim, Frankie & Vinnie (plus the Vallarios & Kamea) When: Thursday evening Where: the Vallario home in Chicago What: Thanksgiving!
Starbuck was STUFFED! Bianca was a talented chef. The woman managed to make a great many dishes that were vegetarian friendly, while still satisfying her meat-eating family with Thanksgiving classics. Starbuck and Kamea put a good sized dent in the spread, and it seemed Kim appreciated having a meal that included meat, since she often went without when eating with her boyfriend.
"That was fantastic, Mrs. Vallario. Thank you," he said graciously, smiling at the hostess.
She waved her hand at him in a dismissive way, but she was smiling at the compliment. "You're too sweet, Starbuck. I'm glad you liked it."
"Loved it! Thanks for making things for Kamea and I to eat."
"It was nothing, dear. Now scoot. Frankie and I will clean up." She looked to Frankie, who sighed in annoyance.
It was clear to everyone at the table that Frankie was NOT happy about being thrown into the traditional role of a Vallario woman. She didn't mind cooking, but she didn't like cleaning up afterward. Why was she expected to just because she had boobs?
