Has everyone come out of their food comas from Thanksgiving yet? I would not care if I never saw another piece of turkey again. Why do people make such a big deal about turkey anyways? Pork is FAR better.. Now that I've gorged myself on countless casserole leftovers, all that remains is a piece of chocolate cake and maybe some eggnog. This previous weekend was reminiscent of the tornado we had this year when the power went out for a week. Every relative, friend, and neighbor had cookouts and grilled copious amounts of meat and stews. Benjamin Franklin would not be proud of us, as the first of his thirteen virtues is temperance. Temperance calls for avoidance of overindulgence of food or drink. HA, we missed that one by a long shot. I think he may have as well....
Anyways, to get to my creative juices... Hang on, a good song just came on, I have to dance for a minute. Just in case your ears are curious, I put the music video at the end of this blog.
Ok back to business. So this most recent turkey day I started thinking about why everyone cooks the same boring stuff every year. Maybe I'm just difficult (well I know I am,) but why don't people come up new stuff each year? Every Single Year the menu and recipes are the same except the occasional great aunt mystery casserole. Everybody loves casserole, and better yet, it provides a fully nutritional balanced meal. I want to have a casserole cook-off. Wouldn't that be fun? Why yes it would Stephen. Thank you, I thought you would like that. Now, of course I have to have a chili cook-off because that was the first cook-off idea, but casserole only seems like the next best thing. The possibilities are endless. But what else do people, food, and contests scream out? Eating contest! Hurray for gluttony! I've always wanted to be in a competitive eating contest. I'm sure you've thought the same thing. Maybe, we should have a casserole eating contest, pound for pound. I need to think more upon this subject.... and perhaps follow Ben's second virtue - Silence.
Feel free to leave a comment or give me your ideas!
