Bought a 25 lb Turkey today for the Thanksgiving revolt . We’re planning a “Yuge” shindig with all the trimmings. Corm puddin’, deviled eggs, sweet potato pie, vinegar slaw, black eyed peas, corn bread biscuits, salads, candied yams, dressing, mash potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie, nanner pudding, and Smithfield Virginia hams.
Stop! I’m drooling!
It will be a grand feast, Ole Virginia style!! And a stick in the eye to the Authoritarians.
Did revolt ever taste sweeter?! And this one waxed even more rebellious than expected; today, Marc told me,
It was a long weekend of festivities. Anyway, the dinner went as planned. Of course we were way over the limit. Lots a hand shaking, hugs and a few kisses (LOL).
Oh, the horror!
The group spanned from new born to about 85 years old. No masks and things were VERY normal. Some friends dropped by later and we had an oyster roast of Chesapeake Bay oysters on the back patio. The next day, Friday, we had a birthday party and most of the relatives from Thanksgiving were still in town and attended. All in all a great holiday and a finger in the eye of the whole Covid -1984 lock down crowd. Oh BTW nobody got sick.
Not from COVID. But I hear several merrymakers suffered a food coma…
