Things to remember to take to mom's:
The extra can of chicken broth, plus emergency bullion cubes.
the extra sage, for the turkey, and the extra thyme, for the gravy.
the extra gorgonzola and the french fried onions.
the probe thermometer.
my Ipod.
the brie, jam, and puff pastry.
the balsamic and an orange.
an onion, and an apple.
mustard greens and cranberries for the turkey platter.


Things to pick up at the grocery store:
chevre
grapes
cotswold
crackers
some other fruit or something?

You died of turkey overdose, didn't you? Your entire family is laying out on the floor at your mother's house RIGHT NOW, waiting for a neighbor or the coroner to show up and pronounce the cause of death: the turkey was just too damned good, and you all ate 'til you exploded.

Actually, by the time dinner hit the table, I was too tired to be hungry. I struggled through one plate of food. I'm probably the only American citizen to have lost weight over two consecutive thanksgivings.

Well, I guess it's a better outcome. But you've got to admit, it just doesn't quite have that dramatic flair.

I hope you at least got a decent nap out of it.

slept ten hours that night. That's pretty good for me. :)
