So, what are you eating 'the morning after'?

Posted by HeartofGlass, November 28, 2008

Leftovers? Antiacids? Food from the mall food court or the Ruby Tuesday's inside said mall?

I'm having a sinfully rich dark chocolate muffin because I feel 'I deserve' it right now--my family seemed to cut back on T-day this year, so there were no real (!) vegetable entrees, hence no leftovers for me. (T-dinner consisted of turkey, white lasagna with bacon and lamb, two kinds of meatballs, rice and mushrooms flavored with chicken stock, potatoes stuffed in the turkey, eggplant with ricotta and meat sauce, so I ended up eating mostly the grapes from the dessert plate and one or two non-meat appetizers).

So, do you indulge or abstain on 'the day after'--as a kid I used to try to wheedle dessert for breakfast or chocolates from a gift box, I've visited homes that served pancakes or waffles for a real 'Lost weekend' food binge, and yes, more often than not, being from NJ, I'd eat something obtained at the mall, although I'm not headin' anywhere near dem parts today!
