Thanksgiving Recap
This was prompt was really out of dread for arrival of still-despondent family members. Concern about bad weather cancelled the trip.
We’d already procured supplies for dinner for a party much bigger than we actually had.
It was very good. We’ve got leftovers probably for a while. Likely due to the missed-guests’ preference, we only had a breast.
Watching the NFL players eagerly devour turkey legs after their games yesterday left me….wanting?
Some back-and-forth with my eldest friend about how maybe there’s been some advance in food packaging. I’d ordered this for lunch one day last week. The soup came in a vacuum-sealed single-use container. Just peel the top, heat, and eat. (Two cycles of the “beverage” button on my microwave worked very well…)
Football was okay. I’m maybe looking forward, more, to tonight’s game. Tonight’s matchup is two AFC teams. Doesn’t quite make up for the very NFC-heavy daytime schedule yesterday, but at least there’s something a little different.
The NFL rules haven’t changed nearly as much as baseball’s have, and I’m appreciative of that.
*wanders off to see if the National League has fully-implemented the Designated Hitter*
Yep. But they’ve also got the weird new batting helmets, too.
Leftovers today. A local restaurant for “Small Business Saturday” tomorrow.
That we have less leftover turkey means that my wife won’t be making her Turkey Tikka Masala, which is something we stumbled into a few Thanksgivings ago.
Accidentally used vanilla yogurt, but it actually worked very well.
Maybe it’ll be something for Christmas.
Today’s TGIF was pretty good, too.
I might just have a gift subscription to TheFP left if you email me…
One more day. But there’s shopping to be done. I should probably get a shower first.
