Monday, December 1st, 2003 [edit]
Jessica and I undertook the responsibility of cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year for her family. We knew we would have leftovers, but I don’t think we had any concept of just how many leftovers we would have.
I have enough photos to get us all banished for gluttony.
The menu was:
- Grilled Turkey Breasts, marinated with Sage and Freshly Cracked White Peppercorns
- Stuffing with Sausage, Vegetables, and Fresh Herbs
- Mashed Potatoes (The secret? Two sticks of butter and two blocks of cream cheese!)
- Green Bean Casserole
- Rolls
- Gravy
- Apple Pie
- Cranberry Infused Cheesecake
Click any picture to enlarge. This amount of food was for five people, mind you.
It was ridiculous. Total calorie count was in the millions. Jessica and I ate and ate on leftovers until yesterday evening. Now, it will be retired.
We’re starting our diet. Wish us luck.

In accordance with the starting of said diet, last night we had to discard some leftovers.
Pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing — all of the really bad stuff — had to go. Like brave little soldiers.
I refused to throw away any cheesecake, though. I finished that one up.
Dinner was great!! We have decided to make it a permanent annual occasion! Will bring ice-cream.
Looks like I will be inviting myself to your T-giving next year and inciting my TryptophanComa™
You should’ve come. It was rockin’.
