the day after -- especially for Valerie

Breakfast is in the microwave as I type this. Mmm. Can you guess? No? Well, I'll tell you then.


(wait a minute, it beeped, gotta go turn it; the turntable part of our wedding-present microwave died about six years ago)


OK. Here we go.

• small portion turkey
  
• small portion mashed potatoes, dotted with real butter
  
• medium portion stuffing (I am a sucker for stuffing)
  
• all of the above items with yummy rich turkey gravy
  
• corn casserole
  
• small portion ham
  
• (not in the microwave; waiting patiently to be added cold to the plate) corn salad; this is my brother's specialty recipe, nicked from the railroad museum where he used to work
  

Of course, we had more last night -- we had green bean casserole, caesar salad, cranberries, rolls, I cannot even remember it all. At least I virtuously decided to save the one piece of remaining pecan pie for a snack later. We also still have cherry pie and pumpkin pie, but those are the kids' favorites. In fact LT is having cherry pie with vanilla ice cream for breakfast.



The above paragraphs were entered expressly for the viewing pleasure of Valerie, my new Australian friend who bemoans the fact that she must wait till Christmas for a feast like this. Hope you enjoyed it. ;-)


Now I must eat my Thanksgiving Part II breakfast, and get on to work with this resumé that has to be finished by this evening. ack.
