Thanksgiving in Review (abridged)

There’s nothing quite like fried turkey (yes, we finally tried it). I was kind of surprised, though, because I only enjoyed the taste when it was going down…

I got a little sick, but not from overeating. The kids were sick, and they spread it like a wildfire (not quite). One kid had it, then another kid had it, then someone else. The I kind of got it, but was stuck (and still am) in that in between phase of knowing I need to ralph, but not being able to. I stinks almost more than just doing it an getting it over with. But all in all, I think I’m getting better.

As far as food goes, it was quite tasty. All of the tasty yummies were there along with old aunts and uncles. Plus, there were about 50 pies (not kidding) that my mom made. The turkies were abundant in flavor: injected with a butter/garlic herb-like base, they were picked clean from the get go. There were leftovers for sandwiches, as well as soup. Mashed potatoes were beside the meat, as well as freshly baked rolls, torts, green-bean casserole, yams, stuffing…I could go on, but suffice it to say that there were enough items to indulge your needs.

The best part came in the form of conversation with others. It was great to sit an talk with people about life, new things, old things, whatever. That was great. Eating pie afterward was even better, and the, to top it all off, you get to watch football and then fall asleep. That’s just day one. it gets better, as the food is still there, and there are more games to watch.

Good time. Besides the bug, everything was nice and reasonably enjoyable (aside from other minor family issues that arose).
