To celebrate Thanksgiving and utilize our leftovers, we did a Friends Thanksgiving Dinner and watched all 10 of the Thanksgiving episodes. We actually did this dinner last year and it was so much food and so much Friends that we decided to spread it out over a few days!
For dinner (or dinners) we had The Joey Special (Two Pizzas), Ross's Sandwich with a Moist Maker, Chandler and Monica's Perfect Mac and Cheese, Central Perk Coffee, Rachel's "Feetless" English Trifle, and Phoebe's Grandmother's Cookies
