Thanksgiving, Part 3

Posted on November 24, 2007 by Monkling

Or… I should have known. I’ve said it a million times before: My family always cooks enough food to feed double the number of people actually there for dinner. The gluttonous part of my brain, however, forgot that. It said, “Oh, no! If you’re not doing Thanksgiving, there will be no leftovers. You better buy a turkey breast & make cornbread stuffing & yams so you can get leftovers or you might starve to death!”

Now, keeping in mind the first part of the above paragraph – uh, yes, we did get leftovers from my brother & sister in-law. But there was still that turkey breast sitting in that good old brine. There were still the cornbread muffins that came out good the second time around. Yes, we are doing Thanksgiving again! (Only this time without the 7 desserts.)

I had planned on posting a picture of myself here that my nephew drew of me but it is in the trunk of the car, which is at the shop to find out why the brakes are vibrating so that will have to wait for another time.

    When I was growing up, on any given night we each could have brought three additional people home for dinner and there still would have been enough leftovers to send home with the guests and some for home, too. So I know whereof you speak! However…even with as good as the leftovers are that your bro sent home, I still think there will be nothing better than YOUR cornbread stuffing and YOUR yams and YOUR brined turkey breast. And just to be sure, I would be more than willing to come to your house to perform a taste test :twisted: !!!! I’m all about public service!!!

    Ya got the vibrating car, huh? I hope you do realize that there are smaller vibrating things that can be purchased, right? Okay, this time it’s my turn to ask–you didn’t really expect me to let that opportunity pass, did you? :razz:

    MONK, MONK!!!!! She says excitedly, while practically jumping up and down in place, scaring the cats and shaking the house.

    Go over to my blog and you will see what new trick this old dog learned today. Because I am ever so much older than you…. :razz: I think even you will be proud.
