| Captain's platters. |
The Thanksgiving family feasting continued today. Nine of us
gathered S. S. Lobster in Fitchburg for lunch. At our tables, there were three massive
Captain’s Platters with fried scallops, clams, shrimp, lobster, haddock and
French fries, with each platter being shared by two people. There was a scallop plate, a baked haddock
with rice pilaf dinner, a chicken tender dinner with fries, and an enormous basket of onion rings. There was also melted butter, tartar sauce, cole slaw, and cocktail sauce. Leftovers (not much, really) were packed into boxes.
After lunch, we went to my sister’s house for dessert of
Tres Leches cake made by my eldest niece. On Tuesday, her husband returns home to
Vegas and work, but she will be with us for another few weeks.

The huge midday feeding made it a one-meal day. There was
no way I wanted to (or could) eat anything else afterward. It’s possible I won’t need to
eat tomorrow, either. I’m hoping that I’m
done with massive meals until Christmas, but it could be tricky. My event
calendar has filled up a bit, and this week has Christmas gatherings two nights
after work with menus of heavy hors d’oeuvres. One of those days also includes a team meeting with pizza lunch brought in, so it will be a challenge and take some pacing this week.
It’s probably a good idea to rejoin the gym. Like, immediately. Maybe I should start walking to work, too. And fast on the non-event days this week.
