hello bb's,

hope you all had a good thanksgiving.

i decided not to go down to fresno and spend it with mom's cause they eat so freakin' early and i needed to be back on friday to take care of some household schtuff.

i spent it with a friend, lisa and her family. it was nice but i felt a little disappointed that there were no mashed potatoes. ya know how you just associate certain mandatories to your memories? well, mashed potatoes is on that list. you might as well not have a turkey. but i managed to still stuff myself with other starches, macaroni & cheese, baked beans, mac salad...and of course the goodies.

thinking to myself, that woulda been perfect if not for the potatoes, i drove home, tummy full and planning to get horizontal on my couch and make a potatoe of myself...i come home to a message from my friend eddie, asking where i was & to come over. so i get back in my car & drive back to san leandro and visit and they are just sitting down to dinner and tho i insist i can't eat even a bite, they insist that i at least taste and of course i do--and they DO have mashed potatoes, a MOUNTAIN of them and gravy. i felt like that dog on the wb cartoon*

i even was forced to participate in a pumpkin pie taste off. just one bite each but i'm tellin' ya, by then i was about to burst.

SO!
now that the actual holiday for being thankful is past, what did you feel in want of, what was missing from your holiday?


oh yeah.
also, i missed not having yams with the marshmallow crust and walnuts, brown sugar dealio. candy posing as vegetables is always good.




*my search for this learnt' me that it was one of the cartoons that's been banned--damn, so many classics that kids today are not allowed to watch for fear they promote violence, emulation
