Thanksgiving You Heartburn

I had an excellent thanksgiving in Memphis, TN. There was turkey AND ham. I forgot my real camera so, in honor of the inferiority of the iPhone camera, I here now dedicate this post to the dark side of Thanksgiving. The dark meat, if you will, of our gathering.

I watched a lot of football (go Auburn!) and I went on a four mile walk that made my legs want to fall off. Jenny totes blew it on the cheddar sausage balls. They didn't make the table. I really blew it with green bean casserole. Don't mistake the empty pan for satisfaction: substituting cream of chicken for cream of mushroom is the opposite of delicious. It shouldn't have made the table.

Gourds can get really ugly. I also learned that the innards of pomegranates are slightly disgusting looking. Specifically that skin-thing that holds it all together. All in all, it was beautiful. Without any further ado:

Leaving Illinois. Wildlife: they're just like us.

I started the holiday off right, paying homage to our fallen First Nation brethren.
