Another Thanksgiving come and gone. I can tell because my heart is filled with gratitude and my refrigerator, with leftovers.
O leftovers! I could write an ode to leftovers, I love them so much. Just the thought of not having to cook for the next few days fills my heart to overflowing.
So today I am hosting another Five for Friday party, this time in honor of my devotion to microwave reheating.
Looking for five-word ditties (plus title, if you wish) to celebrate the blessings of a full heart and a full fridge. Sure, not everyone loves leftovers. Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving either. I get that. But I hope you will join in nevertheless. If not food love, you can write about something you do appreciate this time of year. As long as it's just five words; no muss, no fuss. Leave your contributions in the comments and I will add them here.
And hey, if nothing else, we can all be grateful for Poetry Friday, right? Many thanks to Carol at Carol's Corner for hosting today's roundup! I also want to give a shout out to the Two Weeks of Thanks-Giving roundup at Teaching Authors today. You can find my own thank you note to a special teacher here.
All this writing is making me hungry. Sandwich anyone?
Oh, that's right, we're having a potluck! Sorry-- my brains are mashed potatoes. Whoa! Did you catch that? Five words... see how easy it is?
As host, I have prepared three dishes to start us off. Bon appetit!
Sweet Potato,
please be mine?
