You're listening to the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on 28 November.
Now, that's a good piece of music, Fernando Augusta Pacheco, because that heralds just one thing.
It's Global Countdown time.
Beforehand, though, we were talking about Thanksgiving a moment ago and how the diaspora, the US Diaspora, starts to titivate things a little bit now, as a full 100% Brazilian.
But you still had a Thanksgiving meal last night.
I did.
You know, I love a celebration.
It doesn't matter from which country.
And I do have American friends, Karen Krasanovich, which our communal friend here.
And we went for dinner.
It was not very traditional Thanksgiving, but, you know, it was still very hearty Italian American food at a restaurant called Grasso in soho, which is lovely and I recommend.
But I think I like the heart.
I think during a celebration, you have to be a bit hearty with your food in a way.
What was it that took you?
Was it just going out for dinner with Karen, which isn't.
There is no such thing as just going out for dinner with Karev and Karzanovic.
It is a major event.
But was there a decision not to do a turkey traditional us thing?
Was it just a proper dinner or was it.
Was it sort of framed as a Thanksgiving celebration?
