One Down, One To Go

I give thanks that the holiday is over with, and there's only one more to go. I did well on portion control except for the desserts, and there in lies the problem with holiday meals for me. It's the pies, the cakes, the ice cream, the cookies.

So, now I take the carcass from the turkey breast, boil that down with some bay leaf. Then I strip it of any usable turkey, and use the  liquid from that for making more gravy, which will be used to fill the turkey pot pie that we'll make tomorrow.

 Christmas is the holiday that I dread more than holiday of the year. I literally hate it. It has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, and anything he may or may not have taught use some thousands of years ago. It's all about consumerism, buy, sell, buy, sell.

If the box stores are waiting for me to up their quarterly earnings they're waiting on the wrong person. If I buy anything for anybody it will be from a locally owned and operated store.

Tonight we go to our friends Alex and Suzanne's for baked zitti. This is now a tradition in it's third year, and the food is spectacular.

After this weekend I need to watch my diet, which more or less, summarizes my week. I ate a ton of food, with sugar right up there at the top, but I worked out like a mad man, with more cycling to come Saturday and Sunday.

Have a great weekend.

That's it.

Life is what happens in between meals.

Peace,
