Well, I hope y’all are having a fine Thanksgiving. Me? I’m here at work, of course. Not my first choice, believe me, but A) somebody’s gotta do it, and B) I’m getting double time, so that lessens the sting a little.
Science Girl was making the traditional meal while I was getting ready for work. I gotta tell ya, it smelled really good. She’s said she’d bring me a plate around break time, so I’m not missing out. Much.
It’s a slow day here, so basically I’m waiting for dinnertime to roll around. And thinking about food. Being who I am, that got me thinking about songs about eating, food, or with food items in the title. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
