GOBBLE-GOBBLE (not!)

Nov 27, 2014

Although, I didn't set out to cook this Thanksgiving, I felt bad for my family.  How could I make them "buy" a thanksgiving dinner?  I baked, cooked and sauted some really delicious food, barely taping my finger in the spoon to check for saltiness.  In the old days, I would have had a meal while prepping the meal!  I was tired so when we sat to eat, I served myself 2 oz of turkey, a teaspoon of Cranberry sauce, 1 tbsp green bean casserole and 1/2 a brussel sprout.  That was it.  The turkey took a while it kind of felt like it was stuck, but it finally went down.  I was amazed I was full.  Then it was time for dessert.  I had a tsp. of pumpkin pie filling and a tsp. of apples from the apple pie.  That was enough.  I got the taste and didn't want to risk getting sick.  I was really amazed.  

Everyone else stuffed themselves and then fell asleep on the couch watching football.  I felt great!  I really did enjoy visiting with everyone and watching them enjoy my dishes I prepared.  It was a totally different experience, not to have the food control me.  There is freedom in that.
