happy turkey day

So its thanksgiving and I am practicing for tomorrow by waiting on line with Lovey in the grocery store. I really should be helping her unload the cart, but I'll just tell her I am responding to a very important e-mail.


You know, the world at large is completely nuts with the way they treat the holiday meal. I was talking to a couple of people and asked them what they were doing for the holiday. One told me he was having six (WOW! SIX!!) adults and the other told me she was having seven adults AND one child (CAN YOU IMAGINE?????) They were both quite pleased with themselves at what appeared to be this outstanding number of people.

Then I heard on the radio that someone didn't have anyone so she put out a plea on the net, and now is having 30 people. That IS a lot of people, but what was surprising about this story was the amount of food she was making for 30 peeps. I think in was like 7 turkeys, some hams, too many sides, and two dozen pies. This is clearly someone who does not entertain very often.

Now, I'm my circles, 8 people for a holiday type meal is really no big deal, and can happen for a whole weekend. 30 people is a crowd, but each one doesn't need their own pie! Just goes to show you that people who don't entertain often have no concept of portion size, or that each food item is not mutually exclusive of every other item. (Although that may be a universal hostess mistake).

Well, I've just been asked to bag the groceries, enjoy the turkey, no matter how much you eat.
