Chenay Bay – Fifth night

Home-cooked spaghetti,
‘I Am Legend’ at Sunny
Isle. Just like back home.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?

Gentlewomen’s lament

God rest ye merry
gentlemen? I don’t see them
lifting a finger!

Survivor – Family Holidays

Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.

Starving writer

I really should start
dinner. But husband’s gone, so
I’ll just blog and starve.

Thanksgiving – after dinner

Post-tryptophan, we
watch Forrest Gump and digest
the day’s memories.

Thanksgiving – no time for diets

Don’t count calories.
Savor silken pumpkin, tart
cranberries. Taste joy.

Thanksgiving baking

Tempting smells – so strong
they nearly satiate the
appetite – drift by.

Thanksgiving – division of labor

They’ll watch football. We’ll
cook. Men and women. Hunters
and gatherers still.

Time saving dinner ideas

If every meal
were cereal, we’d all have
more hours in the day.
