happy thanksgiving

you know how people have a ton of left-overs after thanksgiving

well
i've never actually cooked a solo thanksgiving dinner before
and
while
if i'm cooking for me
i would know
i could eat one sweet potato
or a bag of brussel sprouts
and maybe somethin else small-ish
when i'm making
thanksgiving dinner
i apparently think
eight sweet potatoes
two bags of brussel sprouts
a pumpkin and half an acorn squash
and
five quarts of sorta french onion soup
seems about right

it doesn't even look like i've eaten any of it
i'll be eating this shit all week
good lord
what did i think i was doing

on the plus side
it was all really tasty
except
the soup wants rosemary

the sweet potatoes were the best thing
i learned from my past experience
this time i soaked the apricots overnight
and pureed them in the blender
before trying to mix them in
and pecan butter is delicious
and i had that maple syrup left over from the master cleanse
but they are really rich
so
it's good that they are delicious
because i have at least ten servings left

when i finish up this food
i think i'm gonna do some sort of cleanse
but i haven't decided what kind yet



i hope your day was everything
you could have wanted it to be
