Today is the day of American Thanksgiving. The day of gorging on turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, pies and the like. It’s also the day before all hell breaks loose at American retail stores. It’s the day before Black Friday.
Well my Thanksgiving this year was rather normal I suppose. I made Suspiro Limeña which is a Peruvian dessert that is like a custard with merengue on top. It is very sweet and is one of those desserts that you can feel diabetes setting in as you eat it and after so much you realize you should stop eating or you will go into organ failure. However its delicious. I washed mine today with a can of pepsi. Just what a dentist will advise you against!
I went to my aunts house for thanksgiving dinner. I didn’t eat all the normal stuff. I stuck to a croissant, some fresh raw vegetables, and a cup of coffee. See, the previous night my family cooked partridge, potatoes, gravy and all the rest. I didnt need two super calorie laden dinners in a row. I’m on a diet, in loose terms. However, I’ve decided that if I will be on some loosely defined diet I will at least not gorge on food during the two most fattiest days of the year. I will refrain from putting slices of turkey breast on my plate and making a mashed potatoe dam around them and filling the “resevoir” with gravy and corn. You see, this is how it must be done. At 27 years old I still do that. But for I guess the last 23 years that’s how it’s been done.
Today there were also no questions, no lame games, nothing that normal puts me to sleep and requires a bottle/s of sanity depending on their contents (alcohol content, volume, etc).
Now I sit at home writing my first blog in some months. It’s been really a really uneventful past few months. So there has been a gap in posts. Sorry for like the few people that may stumble across this.
Well now I leave with a photo of my suspiro limeña.
