Oh my gosh, it's November! Yes, I said November! It's one of my favorite eating times of the year. Nothing more exciting then getting together with family and friends that bring all your favorite annual holiday dishes. I always consider myself a bringer and not the baker. Which in so many words, I don't have Thanksgiving dinner at our house. I would rather tote my goods and my hungry self over to my mom's place for the feast. It's always a fun place to be during the holidays. Along with the great smells and the wonderful people, there is my awesome mom. You can hear her call her kids and my dad by her designated pet names. example: Hey, Hair-Head! Hey, Turkey Lips! My dad's nick name is not for repeating out loud. Even the cat, Pedro has several nick names. Which nick name he gets all depends on how much he is annoying my mom. I'm not sure when the turkey lips nick name came along, but it seems to be a staple in my mom's nick name selections. I think we all find it strangely endearing. Because every one knows that turkeys don't have lips. Guess it's cuter then calling someone a turkey butt, or turkey neck. Which could get you karate chopped in my family. Hair head, needs no explanation. You got hair, you are a hair head. Hmmm, I wonder what she would call someone in the family if they went bald? Let's not find out. :) Happy Tuesday.
p.s. I didn't eat my chinese food at work that day. I saved it for lunch the next day. So there is hope for me yet.
