Yes, it's that time of the year again, so soon. It's here on your ass like a blind man creeping towards that pole in his way. He's going to hit it, you know he will. As will Thanksgiving also sneak up on ya and hit ya over your walnut. The question is though, what if the blind man had a shopping list?
That's right, a shopping list. A simple shopping list so that when you go to the store, you won't question what you need. Why? You have a list by Jove!
We all need lists. A list for this, a list for that. But the most important list of all, next to making it on Santa's list, or the current Playboy centerfolds lap now that I suddenly think about it...mmm...oh, sorry. The most important list, by far, is the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Shopping List.
That's right, put it right up there with the Christmas dinner list why don't ya. That's just not right, and I'll tell you why.
Thanksgiving is about food, plain and simple. The Indians in all their ignorance decided to help the white man way back when. When we were starving, they helped with food. We returned that favor the only way we could back then, and I won't go into that since this is supposed to be a happy piece, not a dredging up of historical blindness.
So, being that the list is primarily a tool for identifying items, I would venture a guess that a list of food items one might need a fairly common type of list. Therefore, the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Shopping List is the most important list of all. Plain and simple. Been doing it for years, no need to go and screw things up now.
Hell, Christmas is about the birth of someone and no where near the level of foodiness that Thanksgiving is. Strike that dinner out as being the most important.
Easter dinner? Forget it. Doesn't stand a chance. You can't supplant a crap load of eggs for the tasty, juicy turkey dinner. I don't care how much you devil them...
With all that said, I thought it only appropriate to end by sharing with you, a list I created right here in my very own home. Pen and pad at the ready, I deftly noted the items that spewed forth as Jacq surveyed the kitchen area and the inventory it contained.
After careful consideration, and a half-hour in the making, may I present to you, the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Shopping List!
Never fear, we added the yams after I already scanned this in. Trust that it is actually on there. Thank you.
This is an actual list and not a stunt double.
