Driving home on Thanksgiving Day my sister and I made fabulous time -- arriving in a scant 6 and a half hours. There was one six-mile stretch where traffic crawled, but the rest of the way was quick and smooth. It was eerie driving in empty parts of LA that I've only ever observed as a parking lot -- it was as if I was seeing the place for the first time.
From the moment we stepped into the door until the time when we retired for the evening, my sister and I were besieged with wonderful, delicious food. The following list will likely torture anyone counting calories and food nutritionists.
(in order of appearance):
fruits (strawberries, grapes, watermelon)
soup (chicken herb and vegetables)
salad (lettuce, grape tomatoes, thousand island dressing)
chicken and bacon hotpockets
candied walnuts and pecans
glazed yams in butter
homemade cranberry sauce
mashed potatoes
vegetables (brocolli and cauliflower)
butterball turkey
turkey gravy
ham
pillsbury crescent rolls
homemade pumpkin pie
Reverse is very good driving food -- better than Pocky for it's ability to not to become all melted and glued together. And it comes in two bags so you don't feel bad when you eat an entire bag.
