The party on Wednesday

I looked around the house to marshal up a feast in order to fully enjoy Wednesday's entertainment. I discovered I have mostly biscuits available.

That's right, good old biscuits. I do have something to go over them, but basically, it's biscuits. I'm not complaining (I can go out and get something; after all, I have my stimulus check,) because I have discovered over the years that I have an affinity for biscuits. They taste good, and they fill you up. They go with most anything.

But, still, I have at least Monday to square the celebration away. Since I will not get out of my car, I have to choose from fast food joints. I have not had any fast food in at least two months, and I have lost a lot of weight. Proves something, I dunno, but the point is, I have an excuse to indulge.

I will not go out Tuesday or Wednesday, because who knows what the Trumpers who live in my town will be up to. So, I have to decide if I will go out, and if I do, what should I get?

Or maybe just cook up those biscuits, try out my new powdered eggs, and just soak up the pleasure of the EC count. There's always the day after to stock up again. So many decisions, what to do...

1. The most profound meal

I have eaten in my life was dubbed biscuit casserole by my mother. When Reagan was in office we became so poor that one day the only two ingredients left in the house were a can of biscuits and a can of pork and beans. I watched as my mother smothered the biscuits with the pork and beans. Anguish on her face told a tale. I was young but still understood what was happening. She so lovingly pulled it off. She presented it as biscuit casserole. Our cupboards were finally bare. That meal will be ingrained in my head forever. I still love biscuits.

I remember one Thanksgiving, when I was older but living with my Mother, the three of us there were absolutely sick as dogs. None of us could do anything.

So, we had cream of wheat cereal while the three of us lay on my Mom's bed and watched TV. It was the most pleasant Thanksgiving I have ever spent. That was the Thanksgiving I learned what true love, togetherness and harmony is. It was the most profound Thanksgiving I ever had.

Now, decades later, I don't mind being a little short of something, because I know that I can get it later. I don't have kids to worry about. Just my fur family, and I have food for them. Everything is good! Just passing the time until the country is free from Trump and all this nonsense.
