It all started with...a dented can of pinto beans that has been around the house for about six months.
Waitaminuite...I know what to do with this now...I have a turkey wing in the fridge.
I’ve upped my seasonings game.
I have onions, sweet peppers, and even hot peppers to doctor up that can of pinto beans.
I have cornbread (jiffy Mix, that is).
I even have some rice to go with the beans.
AND some chicken strips.
GO FOR IT!
And so I did
The beans, rice, and cornbread are rather tasty (the cornbread looks more like my Granny’s than the cover of the Jiffy box...but I did what my Granny would do on the occasions she’d go Jiffy on the cornbread
The chicken...well...I’ve fried better chicken for myself.
Usually, I eat out for one reason or another on Christmas; with family, as an invited guest, or...yes, in a homeless shelter.
None of that is possible because of the pandemic so…
This is the first Xmas dinner I have ever made or eaten prepared completely by my hands.
I read the news enough to know I have it better than a lot of people this Xmas holiday
I have no choice but to be grateful...and next year maybe I will cook for someone else or a bunch of people.

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?
