Suggestion for T-Day Food Lovers....

[kacee 3]

Okay, so the big day is here and those of us who are on solids are doing our calculations to get the best stuff, since we have to be judicious in our choices....I suggest forgoing any appetizers completely. I am bringing shrimp for my cousin who made a wonderful sauce, but I am looking at them and thinking "Okay, if I eat ONE shrimp, I have just eliminated one bite of the main meal I could get down." And if your meal is 5 or 6 bites, you gotta make every one count!!! I tend to graze on stupid things like olives and stuffed celery at family gatherings because as we all know it takes forever to get everyone's act together and get the food on the table. So today I will glide past the appetizers and concentrate on my WONDERFUL 1/2 piece of turkey (or less), tablespoon of dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberry, and whatever other delicious concoction arrives....NO bread. Anyway, that's my plan.... Everyone have a happy and blessed thanksgiving day and remember all the things we have to be thankful about in this world.

Ditto the choices...am skipping pre and post dinner choices but just doing the basic bites of the main course.....BUT it's hard not to taste too much when I'm the cook!
