Well, I must say, that I don't think I've ever eaten so much in the two days of food fest that I experienced last week. First, of course, was Thanksgiving which featured not just one but two traditional turkey and fixings meals. The first was 'lunch' with Karen's brothers and sisters and their kids at the Candle Light Inn. The food was fabulous and made putting up with the restaurant thing much more bearable.
But the best was saved for last as we spent Thanksgiving dinner with our friends Jim and Lisa, their kids and Jim's parents, sister and her family. Now, this is what Thanksgiving was meant to be. A fire in the fireplace, football on TV, kids running around and family being family, and the smells of turkey roasting in the oven. Now, that's Thanksgiving to me. And it was a wonderful way to end the day. Although the drive back was a bit on the sleepy side after all that turkey.
Now I mentioned eating more than ever before and my two meals on Wednesday in New York put the totals over the normal for any week or even two weeks of consumption. I had lunch with one of our printer at the Palmwhere besides the fabulous bowl of soup, the shared King crab claws, the bread, the shared Gigi Salad and of course, my main course, a 16 oz. filet mignon. Yeah, that's right, one pound of all-american, red (and I like it really rare) meat. And it was one of the best steaks I've ever had in New York. So, if you like good food, it's the place to eat. And it never hurts when someone else is paying.
Just a mere four hours later there was dinner with my cousin Shira at Josie's Restaurant. I had the Grilled Breast of Chicken Scarpriello which was preceded by some salad and one Jack on the rocks. Needless to say this was huge chicken breast and oh so tasty. You almost wonder how I could have consumed more food the very next day. Sometimes, I even surprise myself. Well, not really. It was Thanksgiving you know.
