post post post turkey day hangover November 30th, 2008
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.
