Well, the first of the big food holidays is past. I did most of the cooking even though I initially said I wouldn't. I mean really, is it fair for someone who only eats a golf ball-sized portion to spend all day cooking? Actually, when I compare my kitchen stamina with previous years I was able to do a lot more. My family loves my stuffing. I have to admit it was delicious.
When dinnertime came I had some dark turkey meat, small bits of mashed potatoes and stuffing with some gravy. When everyone was eating their pie I had some sugar free popsicles. I felt satisfied but not overstuffed like everyone else. I certainly didn't have turkey narcosis from the L-tryptophan.
More than anything on this day of thanks I was able to focus on the joy of being with my loved ones and thankfulness for a better chance to be around to enjoy them for a longer time.
I hope all my readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving and will have a joyous holiday season in the next few weeks.
Love to all,
Marlena of Mohegan
You are inspiring as ever. Stay strong!
