I was reading over some of my blog posts from the past, and I came across an entry from last year around Thanksgiving. Since tomorrow, we will be attending our first of several Thanksgiving festivities ("Steffens-Gobble", which is our annual early T-giving with Doug's extended family), I felt this was an appropriate blessing to share...
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay OFF of your thighs!!!!

My sweet friend, Sydney, gave me a very good suggestion for maintaining some control at the gluttony fest that is also known as Thanksgiving. She suggested using a salad plate rather than a full-size dinner plate for the meal. Fill that plate with a little bit of everything (of course, not stacking it 2 feet high with food) and do this only ONCE. Then, be DONE!
That's my plan for tomorrow, and for future holiday meals. I'll let you know how it works out for me!

Well, I am so very proud of you and I haven't talked to you since SteffensGobble- but I am sure you did great.
Oh, and if only your sweet friend, Sydney would listen to her own advice!!
How did it go? I think your plan was an awesome one!
