...missed his first wife/second mother's roast chicken and chocolate layer cake. He's missed sharing nuclear family time with Jane and their three grown children, Lauren (Caitlin Fitzgerald), Luke (Hunter Parrish) and Gabby (Zoe Kazan), who look and act as though they've been ordered from the J. Crew catalogue. So what's in it for Jane? We understand that she wants the validation of finally hearing her husband admit he made a mistake. The second wife, Agness (Lake Bell), is a huge disappointment: temperamental, with "a big job," a demanding child who diminishes Stepdad Jake every chance...
...students who were not affiliated with any organized functions or clubs that met during the recess, a Thanksgiving meal was offered for six straight hours at Dunster House, beginning at noon. Centerpieces included cider-glazed ham, roast turkey breast, and after-dinner mints...

I also picked up a jar of Folgers crystals from the corner deli, whipped up a pot of homemade coffee (Guatemala, from Costco) and put on a pot of filtered NYC tap water...
...Starbucks: my store-bought cup had a richer, winier mouthfeel, as does my Costco homebrew. At the recommended eight-ounce dose of water, the Italian tasted a little weak, but smooth. To my surprise, the Colombian actually had a rounder, more satisfying flavor, though I usually prefer a darker roast. (Both types of Via tasted better when the water had a minute to cool.) I wouldn't replace my home-brewed with it, but if my sister-in-law served it to me, it would not strain family relations; it might have made a suspect motel in Davenport, Iowa, slightly...
