The results of our first poll (28 votes) are in with stuffing and sweet potatoes tying for first place and taking in a combined more than 50% of the vote. This comes as quite a surprise to me but the loyal juxtaexposers (sp?) have spoken. Personally, I was pulling for cranberry sauce (carefully removed from the can so the lines remain, of course) which only received a single lonely vote. Having just enjoyed three separate T-giving dinners over the past few days I can certainly understand how Turkey, the supposed Thanksgiving staple and infamous purveyor of tryptophan hangover, would not receive a vote. By my second dinner I took a little bit of Turkey out of principle/tradition but come round three I let the turkey, both light and dark meat, be.
As for the photo above it has nothing really to do with Thanksgiving, or anything in particular, but I took on my day off before Thanksgiving and I like it. So there.
Also, Bread for the City is still collecting donations for their Holiday Helpings campaign to help provide celebratory holiday meals for over 10,000 low-income families in the Washington, DC area. Just $28 dollars can provide a much needed and greatly appreciated meal. I donated, it felt good, and you can still by clicking here. Thanksgiving has clearly past but Bread for the City is still accepting donations to for holiday meals during the Xmas season.
