The eating season has begun, starting today and running pretty much through Christmas and New Year’s to Super Bowl Sunday. The days where we honor certain events by stuffing ourselves silly. The days that made me the short fat guy I am today.And here we are once again at another Thanksgiving Day. I don’t know why some people insist on calling today Turkey Day. Any short fat guy knows the real reason we roast a turkey today is to provide the drippings for GRAVY!
Mmm, graaaavy…
And on this day we are asked to look back at our lives and give thanks to providence for all our myriad blessings. It’s funny that if I step back and take in the broader view, the same things and situations that irritate me on a daily basis turn out to be many of the things I am thankful for now. Funny, innit.
Happy Gravy Day. May it be even more profound — and filling!
In Response to Happy Thanksgiving Day!
As true as the facts in this postin are, seeing as gravy is the most deliciously delicious thing one earth, who actually cooks a turkey? That is something known as effort, which I stubbornly refuse to participate in. I say, go down to a grocery store, and buy instand gravy. You can make a little Roux to thicken it up, or, if your out of spoons, a lot of roux, and eat it with a fork.
Fatfully Yours,

Yes, instant gravy serves its purpose; but nothing compares to real gravy. That is one big reason why the holiday eating season is so special.
