For my readers outside of the United States, this coming Thursday is the American holiday of Thanksgiving. Modeled on a harvest feast held in the Plymouth Colony after the first successful harvest - I had ancestors at that first one. Hence today's Sunday five.
1: Is it a feast of Thanksgiving or a festival of gluttony?
2: Turkey, Ham, or something else?
3: Do you watch the Macy's Parade?
4: What time is dinner served?
5: Football or naps after the feast?
My Answers:
1: Is it a feast of Thanksgiving or a festival of gluttony? As time has gone by I cook and serve less, trying to avoid gluttony.
2: Turkey, Ham, or something else? Turkey.
3: Do you watch the Macy's Parade? Sometimes.
4: What time is dinner served? After noon, when it is done. My mother was obsessive about the appointed hour. The big bird is done, when it is done.
5: Football or naps after the feast? Naps.

We do none of the above. BH buys two or three turkeys because he can't resist a sale. They pile up in the freezer until we remember that they're there. Don't care for turkey myself, but, cheap meat is cheap meat.
ReplyDeleteSince you two are into Bonanza….while not just shoot turkeys from your window's miss kitty?
DeleteBecause, dear mistress, when Balder Half has several days off, we can think of better things to do! As I said before, cheap meat is cheap meat!
