Thanksgiving Warning!!!

This warning goes out to anyone who eats like I did last night. You will be fat! We had an early Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, and I sampled only a little bit of everything -- so much for that theory. I still ended up eating way too much. I may be skipping the other Thanksgiving feasts planned for today. I just cannot do it. I cannot go on the next two months eating this hearty, tasty foods. If the gym was open today, I'd be there right now. The dinner was great, but the calories aren't worth all the eating I did. Some people might tell you that it was the Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes (delicious -- thanks John R) did me in, but I had to sample my own Pumpkin Cheese Cake to make sure no one would die from eating it, and I think that is what did me in. Surely, it had nothing to do with the prime rib, taters, roatsted butternut squash, butternut squash soup, green bean casserole, salad, etc.

I think that for today, I'll have just a cup of coffee... Oh, crap! I just remembered all the leftovers they sent me home with.

Hold on to your hats, do I have a Thanksgiving nightmare....

two people decided to make a sweet potato casserole...someone peeled the sweet potatoes and pushed them down the disposal. someone else went to wash some cooking utensils. the water came up both sides of the sink and wouldn't budge. someone else found some paper plates for dinner. someone else just called the plumber for tomorrow. someone else has a huge freakin mess in the kitchen. :wave:

Oh, and for more entertainment, Mr. K moved the router and modem and we lost all connections. I am on dial up! :floor:

I am just thankful everyone in my house is still alive. :wave:

This is exactly why we put in the most heavy-duty disposals we could find, both here and at the beach. Prior to that, *every* Thanksgiving Big D would have to remove the disposal and clear it out due to a backup. Not a pretty sight.

Sorry, Miss K. Hope your Thanksgiving Day turned out nicely.

:floor::lolabove::funn::rolling::lol::clap:...oh man did I need that laugh! Well, I couldn't take it anymore and did a cheater wash on the cooking implements and silverware. Got the entire dishwasher loaded, even though it can't be run. At least I found part of the countertop.

Mr. K was on the phone with AT&T and Linksys Bangladesh for two hours (serves him right for moving the things in the first place) with no results other than the Linksys cable outlet is broken. But, after my genius of dial up, he has loaded something called AirPort Express and I have the DSL back for now.

There is no rhyme or reason:
  • On Thursday I ate until it hurt.
  • On Friday I ate leftovers at Mom and Pop Hop's (you can't just eat one turkey sammich there...homemade bread and turkey that was in the smoker just yesterday--holy schlamoley...)
  • Friday night I had more leftovers at Mom and Pop NoHall's.
  • The last few days I've been finishing off the cake, which only intensifies my ridiculous craving for ice cream (any day I expect to drive up to DQ and have them say, "Just drive around, ma'am. We've been expecting you.")
Needless to say, I've been skeered to get on the scale. But like I said, this has no rhyme or reason--I lost two pounds. Was it the sheer exertion of all the eating? Was it the cardiovascular benefit of Allifunn's [ame="http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=17910"]thread[/ame]? The irony here is that if I had attempted to lose weight, I would have gained five pounds.
