I am officially almost out of stuffing and mashed potatoes – gluttony is approaching hiatus status. I wish the seemingly endless dishes of goodness remained, but I am also glad to encourage diversity in my diet. It is time to dig out the decorations and dust off the garlands and embrace the cookie. Thanksgiving was a welcome reminder of the good things I should keep in mind as the season falls dark and sparkly around me. Snow also fell on Thanksgiving and what a beautiful thing that was – big huge Charlie Brown snowflakes tumbling to the ground and wetting the deep fryer. A contradiction in holidays, but oddly poetic. I welcome the arrival of winter.
Instead of snow, however, we have 1-2 inches of rain in our very near future. Thankfully, I have my tree in and up already - all glinting full of literally over a thousand lights and smelling delightful. It is impressive how quickly a room, nay, a house, can be transformed with festive holiday spirit. Thanksgiving continues here with the coming of the dark cold months, but turkey is a sweet memory and visions of cookies are now dancing in my head.
