Turkey

Alas, it is HIGHLY unlikely that the person who finds this guy will also find this blog. I left a note but forgot to write the site. I guess that's what happens when things are rushed.


Happy Thanksgiving!!!!


In a folklore class I once took, my professor told the class turkey wasn't associated with Thanksgiving until sometime around or after the 1920s. People still used to feast, but the meal options varied a lot more form house to house. It must have been quite the marketing scheme because who doesn't automatically connect Turkey with Thanksgiving nowadays? Hannah's turkey pattern is prefaced with a plea for a vegetarian celebration of the holiday. While I did eat turkey this year, the recipes on her blog have caught my interest. I might not be changing my eating habits entirely, but a few more vegetarian meals must be at least a bit of a win, right?

Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope.

I left Gatsby in the bottom of a vending machine at a rest-stop on the way to my Thanksgiving celebration. It seemed like an excellent way to celebrate America: Crocheted turkey, reference a great American novel, leave turkey in vending machine on the day Americans feast. To be honest though, I left him in the vending machine, because it was the only place safe from the rain. I do not remember exactly what the note said, and I only have this picture taken with my cell phone. :/ I'll try to be more put together with the next drop. :D
