From The Drummer’s Throne
Happy Friday, Everyone! I hope your Thanksgiving was fantastic overall with good grub and spirits. I also hope everyone has been able to clear the craziness and food haze that this event often brings. We had 12 folks at my place which meant cooking 2 turkeys (one classically roasted, one smoked, both delicious!) 6 pounds of mashed potatoes, a pile of cornbread stuffing, 2 pounds of green beans, a gallon of butternut squash soup, ½-gallon of cranberries, a cauldron of gravy, and 3 pies. Lots of teamwork and early prepping were utilized, as were many beers and bottles of wine. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun because I am blessed with a family whose company I actually enjoy. (Thankful for that every year!) Now it’s time, for me at least, to crank up the exercise to burn off all of those totally worthwhile calories and get ready for the next food tsunamis that come with the holidays. Gotta burn it to earn it…
