I love everything about Thanksgiving including the leftovers. I treasure the time with family, friends of all ages popping in for a visit, spades competitions and the Thanksgiving evening feast. This year everyone except Papa made a signature dish. It was fun having everyone in the kitchen infusing the food with love, talent and tradition. And the menu evolves each year to incorporate yummy new recipes to complement our must have favorites.
As much as I enjoy every bite of the actual feast, I also eagerly anticipate the day after Thanksgiving leftovers. The food is terrific when formally served on Thanksgiving Day and equally delicious when casually enjoyed the next day. It's fun to see the contrast. Everyone enjoys some of everything within their dietary restrictions on Thanksgiving. The next day some family members choose equally broadly and others very narrowly. Some microwave a replica of the previous evening's meal; others choose only dessert or heaping sandwiches on reheated rolls. And I can almost taste the potato soup that we'll create from last night's mashed potatoes.
I'm thankful for all of my blessings including Thanksgiving leftovers.
