What I'd like to know Putz is: did you get as stuffed yesterday as I did? All that wonderful food and I couldn't eat much before I was stuffed to my gills. Tonight I'm wishing I had another plate of it though. I'm hungry again! Tell me more about the two kinds of mashed potatoes.
We had the turkey and the dressing-with-mushrooms-and-giblets (it's properly stuffing only if it was inside the bird, not cooked in a dish) and sweet potatoes and corn pudding and broccoli-cheese casserole and squash-zucchini casserole and cranberry salad (with pineapple, coconus, marshmellow, and I don't know what all) and the snackies before (chocolate-chex mix and queso-dip for tostitos) and during (Greek olives, bread-and-butter-pickles, a few other things) and after (mostly pumpkin pie with whipped cream) and I WAS SO STUFFED I COULDN'T MOVE....Why do we do this to ourselves?

sounds like a lot of good food, maybe I'll stop by next year so I don't have to cook
hope the tree survives until Christmas

I honestly didn't know that people in the west enjoyed sweet potatoes. Did you have sweet potato souffle? Is that where all the brown sugar went?
So did you go see Edward and Bella?
I LOOOVE My grandma's sweet potatoes.
But only hers. Everyone else's are gross. And I think she uses like a cup of butter and brown sugar to every half cup of actual potatoes.
We had a lot of food too, Putz... More than we needed.. Hope you live tree makes it to Christmas.
