My Thanksgiving Table Fantasy Draft: The Cooks, the Homies and the Baes

Guess who’s coming to Dinner?

My Thanksgiving Table Fantasy Draft: The Cooks, the Homies and the Baes

It’s a corny icebreaker question practically as old as time: “If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? Well, I say, why have one over when you can have them all, and just in time for some Thanksgiving grub!

Yeah, we love our real-life family and friends to the moon and back, but there are times when we do wish we knew America’s sweethearts and celeb crushes, and could invite them to the crib on Turkey Day, too.

Call me crazy, but these are the stars I wouldn’t mind at all sharing the holiday with.

1. Emeril Lagasse

Because I’d know he’d somehow manage to make that infamously dry turkey juicier than ever, and put some “respek” on that bird’s name.

2. Michael Phelps

Because when that second cousin (twice removed) goes in to pinch my cheeks for the fifth year in a row, I’m going to need someone with freakishly large arms to swoop in and whisk me away, just in the nick of time.


3. Michelle Obama

Because I need someone to talk me off the ledge when I’m on my fourth helping of sweet potato pie, and am STRONGLY considering a fifth. As the great Louis C.K. once said, “The meal isn’t over when I’m full, the meal is over when I hate myself.”


4. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt and Chris Pine

Because everyone needs a hot Chris in their life...or two...or four.


5. Chance the Rapper

Because you know the way he blesses his food must be thebomb.com, and I’m going to need to catch this holy spirit, long before I catch this “itis.”


6. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard

Because they’re just so stinking cute. Between that sloth video and their home electronics commercials, I just want to bask in their #relationshipgoals and take notes.


7. The “Stranger Things” Kids

Because I can only handle talking about grown-up issues for like, 30 minutes. After that, holler if you need me. I’ll be at the kiddy table.

8. Lin Manuel-Miranda

Because “Hamilton” is Ev.Er.Ee.Thang. And when the conversation gets dull, I’m going to need someone to bring us back to life with a killer freestyle.


9. Emma Watson

Because 1. I just really need to talk to someone about the live-action “Beauty and the Beast” film coming out next year. And 2. I just really need someone to hold my hand when then men start flipping tables over the Golden State Warriors.

10. Charlamagne tha God

Because everyone needs that one guy with no filter and no chill, to buy the tea, make the tea, pour the tea and spill the tea.


11. Jessica Williams

Because political bickering around the dinner table is so obnoxious, but I have a feeling with her there, I’d be giving standing ovations all night.

12. Alan Rickman

Because embarassing myself while trying to throw him my best Severus Snape impressions over mashed potatoes and gravy would have been a memory I highly regarded as the highlight of my entire life.


13. Patti Labelle

Because her vocals are on point, her pies are on point, her moves are on point, she’s just ON. POINT.


Sigh, a girl can dream, right? Well, happy Thanksgiving! And cheers to everyone, even all us little people.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
