It's Never Too Late for Food Porn, or, Thanksgiving Part 2
Happy Thanksgiving hangover day.
Oh! Is that the original reason for calling this Friday black? One would hope so; it is more acceptable to call the day following a feast of giving thanks black due to the residual Tryptophan and alcohol in our blood, than because we turn to soulless consumer bots with charred black innards where the heart used to be.
In any case, Alex and I are celebrating this day as Thanksgiving part two. At least I am. Turns out our Polly Pocket sized oven doesn't effectively cook even the smallest bird we could find at Whole Foods, delaying our meal by three and a half hours. As such, we feasted in a great ravenous hurry last night around 7 pm, then promptly wallowed in overstuffed bliss and fell asleep.
Thanksgiving is so much work to be devoured in 30 minutes time in between Skype bouts with the parents. Plus, I took all kinds of food-porny photos I need to share with the disinterested world!
Everyone stop shopping and pay attention to ME!
Considering the wee-nees of this apartment and my specialized non-cooking skills, our feast turned out damn good. And I am proud. I hereby cast my Thanksgiving food album lot into the cyberspace.
Annnnd...if you're already moving on without attachment issues to your Thanksgiving, here are some ideas for some tasty leftover recipes: The East Coast Life: Thanksgiving Leftovers.
Mmmm... butter.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up Staci! I always appreciate someone that has a flare for the written word... Your speaking/writing style (at least as it pertains to this blog and on the subject of food) reminds me of a guy by the name of Anthony Bourdain. He's a New York chef and Travel channel personality who also has a pretty outspoken cynicism that I'm sure you'll enjoy (look it up). Hope you're doing well.
