Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Post-Thanksgiving

I gobbled some turkey and cranberry sauce,
Potatoes – both mashed and marshmallowed,
Cooked carrots and string beans, a nice cold beer – 
To keep my mood stress-free and mellowed.

I’m taking a break before pie a la mode
And please do not think that I’m boasting,
But leftovers from a Thanksgiving meal
Are worth all the efforts of hosting!

Andrea Dietrich November 25, 2017 at 10:37 AM Excellent take on post thanksgiving. We went to Golden Corral and I had three times your food. hahaha Ilene Bauer November 26, 2017 at 3:46 PM i'm sure you did, andrea! we had a lot of leftovers because we took the easy way out and ordered most of it already prepared, although i did make a couple of things. hope you were able to take leftovers, too...

Jan Allison November 24, 2017 at 6:53 PM the left overs sound delicious ... but what are marshmallowed potatoes they sound yummy!!!:-) hugs Jan xx Ilene Bauer November 26, 2017 at 3:44 PM hey jan! there is a casserole many people make with cooked or canned sweet potatoes (or yams) mashed up, mixed with some brown sugar, butter, an egg and a little cinnamon and topped with marshmallows. you bake it and then broil it for a minute to brown the marshmallows. it is yummy!
