Thankgsgiving Dinner

             November was a month of nothing but food. Given the fact that it was the month with

thanksgiving, a holiday that everyone looks forward to. You get to see family and friends and eat

all of the delicious food you could want. Of course the days leading up to it are treacherous

because I starve myself in order to make as much room for food as possible. But when that day

finally arrives, there’s nothing but smiles on my face. Most people when they think of the

Thanksgiving feast, they think turkey. But I feel as if the turkey is always dry. I look forward

most to the stuffing and mashed potatoes. I still to this day never really know what the stuffing is

made of but I just go with it anyway because of how delicious it is. The mashed potatoes are so

fluffy and just feel like they melt in my mouth. Topped off with shredded cheese, butter and

gravy, it makes for a highly unhealthy but delicious pile of potato. After a few hours of bathroom

runs and football games, out comes the dessert. My moms apple crumble pie that flakes apart

with every bight is so decadent, it’s something you would dream about. It comes to no surprise

that I probably gain ten pounds after November. But hey, good food is worth the sacrifice.
