Friday Fun…I Guess the Turkey Wasn’t The Only One Who Got Stuffed

 

Are we all stuffed? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving doing what you wanted to do with those you wanted to be with.

We had fewer for dinner this year…22, and some who stopped by for dessert. We seemed to have an abundance of yellowish casseroles in addition to the green bean casserole, turkey, and dressing. We had squash casserole, Jiffy corn mix casserole, macaroni and cheese, corn pudding, and two potato casseroles. Not sure what that was about!



 

And don’t forget the stars of any family gathering…desserts…Chocolate pie, apple pie, pecan pie, pear spice cake, cream cheese pound cake, brownies…oh yes, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. 

 

At one point, all I wanted to do was sit down and watch football! 

 

 That said,  I relish the time I had with my family. It’s not often that we’re all together like this, even though we’re in the same city.  Work, family, life…all excuses and good ones, but still, we need to make time for our friends and family. 

 

Today is also Black Friday—though it doesn’t carry quite the same weight now that the “Black Friday deals” start a week early.

 

So let’s have some Friday Fun…

How was your Thanksgiving?? Did you eat far more than you wanted to for Thanksgiving???

 

Are you doing any Black Friday shopping?

Kathy, Yesterday for us was full of laughs, and the dessert table definitely took center stage!

Good morning! We did have a lot of food, for only the seven people at my home. It was turkey, stuffing, macaroni & cheese pie, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, roasted potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, several appetizers, pumpkin pie, and some kind of dessert in a cup. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Oh, wine and beer as well.

That's a lot of stuff! Oh, and two couples were from the Carolinas which is why we had things like green bean and sweet potato casserole. Those aren't usually part of our Thanksgiving!

Kat Palmiotti We didn't have any kind of sweet potato, even though we like them.  I wish we had fewer dishes because you can only eat a few bites of each one. 

And, at the end of the evening, it''s hard trying to figure out what to do with everything.

Good morning, Kathy... I'll be thinking about that cream cheese pound cake all day. And no, no Black Friday shopping for me... out shortly to show property.

Nina Hollander, Broker I can't even begin to think about any kind of food now. I'm still stuffed.

Good morning Kathy,

Sounds like you had a wonderful day with Family and I know the feeling..I was stuffed too! The chiefs and cowboys game was quite the game which I'm sure you watched! No black Friday shopping for me unless it's on-line. I don't like the crowds pushing and shoving when I'm shopping!

Hi Dorie Dillard Austin TX Larry was not happy with the Chiefs game!!! We all had fun and no Black Friday shopping either.  It's been a marathon of basketball and football games this week.

Good Friday morning, Kathy. We only had 10 family members for our Thanksgiving dinner. The most interesting guest was a grand nephew from California, Damir Kelley, who is now a student at Norwich University in Vermont.

Kathy Streib

That sounds nice Roy Kelley It's nice that your grand nephew lives on the east coast and can visit.

Good morning Kathy. Thanksgiving report from the Martin household. Plenty of foootball, even my wife who does not relish the sort watched. For the first time I can remember did not over eat! That said I was full and did not hold back. As of this writing my daugher-in-law is on her way out the door to do some shopping. A great day and weekend for all. Enjoy your company and watch some football.

Wayne Martin we've been watching college hoops and college football. I'm done with desserts (I never thought I'd say that) and will freeze the cake.

I do not even eat Turkey and I got stuffed. Just the sides and pies did enough damage for me!

Nov 28, 2025 06:10 AM
Kathy Streib

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I ate a slice of turkey and a small slice of ham. The rest was devoted to the sides.

Hello Kathy - I'm okay.  Control was a companion yesterday.  I am not so sure if it will accompany me today.  I remain hopeful yet realistic.

Michael Jacobs I was the same way. I didn't eat that much yesteray (I never do when I'm the hostess) but right now, I'm stuffed.

Kathy I was completely stuffed which made it difficult to keep my eyes open during the Cowboys vs Chiefs game.  ☺️

Hello Kathy and love the headline for your blog today.  I made sure to save room for pie and had two different slices.

No shopping for me, Kathy Streib I am not a big consumer of things. 

I did not actually eat that much, yet I managed to feel very full. Perhaps my pants were just too tight.  I was told to wear "stretchy pants," which sounds like good advice for stuffing oneself.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist  Since Black Friday starts early, I don't feel so pressured to go out and shop! I had very little turkey (1 or two pieces) but the sides did me in.

Kathy, although I only made 3 items for Thanksgiving dinner, I was stuffed.   Talked on the phone with my new friend from the European trip, and watched football.  It was a good day!

Nov 28, 2025 10:44 AM
Kathy Streib

That sounds good to me Joan Cox Everyone wants to bring something so consequently we end up with too much food.

When younger, I made the mistake of saying I was ‘stuffed’ at dinner in an Italian restaurant in the company of an Australian person, Kathy.

Stuffed means something entirely different to them!

Starts with an ‘f’…

I've already commented on your other post how much Thanksgiving food I have eaten over the last several days. 

As for Black Friday...hasn't really been a thing for me since the old Cabbage Patch Kids days. LOL
