turkey jerky

thoughts of thanksgiving (and such yummies as pumpkin pie, turkey, squash, etc.) are currently dancing through my head. this year it's a full-on "arthur thanksgiving" complete with about 20-30 family members at my grandma's house. to describe to you the intense pressure to eat as much as humanly possible, i'll take you back in time to easter 2003...

i am sitting at the table with my mouth, my fork AND my plate full of food, when my grandma comes over, puts her hands on her hips, and exclaims "what, you're not eating?!". uhhhh, the only way to eat MORE is to have two forks moving in a constant cyclical motion. perhaps i'll try that approach this weekend.

before tackling the arthur family thanksgiving i'll be warming up by enjoying some mekong (mmm, 14 with vegetarian spring rolls) for the first time in about 2 months!! delicious.
