Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone. I've gone up a full dress size. Fallen off the Adkins wagon and as we speak I am shoveling pumpkin bread smeared with cool whip into my hungry mouth. The Turduckin was fabulous, as expected. We had way too much food. Turkey, Chicken, Duck, Lentil Soup, Brussel sprouts with shallots and chestnuts, mashed potatoes, 3 different types of stuffing, Squash, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potato Casserole, Salad, Apple pie, Pumpkin pie, Lemon Meringue, Deviled Eggs, Bread, Pumpkin bread, Apple Pie ice cream...oh, I'm sure I'm forgetting something. It was a ridiculous display of overconsumption.
On a sad side note, one my dear friends' step father hung himself the day before Thanksgiving. He was part of one of the oldest founding families in this area and Virginia. He had received degrees from Tech, UVA, and Harvard and was a distinquished professor. The English Dept. decided it was time for him to retire from teaching and go out to pasture. He was 63. My friend found him hanging in the hallway.
I shall leave you today with a photo of my current project. You'll never guess what it is. It's quite mysterious...and origami in nature.
