Thanksgiving Recap<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was prompt was really out of dread for arrival of still-despondent family members. Concern about bad weather cancelled the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d already procured supplies for dinner for a party much bigger than we actually had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was very good. We’ve got leftovers probably for a while. Likely due to the missed-guests’ preference, we only had a breast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching the NFL players eagerly devour turkey legs after their games yesterday left me….wanting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some back-and-forth with my eldest friend about how maybe there’s been some advance in food packaging. I’d ordered this<\/a> 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…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NFL rules haven’t changed nearly as much as baseball’s have, and I’m appreciative of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*wanders off to see if the National League has fully-implemented the Designated Hitter*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yep. But they’ve also got the weird new batting helmets, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leftovers today. A local restaurant for “Small Business Saturday” tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accidentally used vanilla yogurt, but it actually worked very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it’ll be something for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s TGIF<\/a> was pretty good, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might just have a gift subscription to TheFP left if you email me<\/a>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more day. But there’s shopping to be done. I should probably get a shower first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
