lunch box: thanksgiving leftovers

Despite the lack of comments (hint! hint!), it turns out I do in fact have some readers, since I've been getting regular complaints the past few weeks about my lack of postings. Sorry everyone. I'll let you know exactly what is to blame...



O Thanksgiving Leftovers! Triumph after awkward family politics! What you lack in beauty and freshness you make up for with taste.

I didn't actually cook a thing in this lunch box, so if you want recipes I'll have to refer you to my parents. One of the many things I like about Thanksgiving food, is that everyone has their own system for eating it. My sister, even though she eats turkey, thinks of mashed potatoes as the main course. Each year she piles an even larger mountain on her plate, like a one person Iron Man contest for potato intake. James lives for the "Thanksgiving Sandwich" which is turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy on a roll. I have never attempted a vegetarian version of this. Maybe next year. I'm not sure if I have a Thanksgiving system, but I can tell you that it's entirely possible to overeat on Thanksgiving if you don't eat turkey.
