at earth's farthest bounds; you
make the gateways of the morning
and the evening shout for joy!
Psalm 65:8
• Five Minute Friday :: Turkey Linkup at Andrew's Place
Andrew's hosting FMF auspiciously has led to an epicurean – or is that an edible? – trio of coffee, chocolate, and now turkey. Turkey because the prompt went live on Thanksgiving evening, or for another reason? I'll take the reason that I love to write about food; I love gifts of food; I love to enjoy food. Food is my love language.
Like my late uncle, I'm [almost] everyone's BFF. I don't think it's genetic, but I believe some people are wired that way. That introduces my saying yesterday I again ventured out to the Santa Monica Church where I had Thanksgiving dinner last year and in 2021. For 2025 I went with a couple of housemates from the hostel where I'm staying and managing; a third joined us at the venue. Although it's an annual community dinner, it's on the small side. Best guess is we had 50 guests, which borders on intimacy for this kind of gathering.
Isn't sharing a meal or a snack a leveling experience? I leveled with the people I've been living with, those Santa Monica church peeps I already was acquainted with, neighborhood people who were first timers at that church and first timers with me. We had food for the table. We made room at the table. When there's room at the table we can call each other friends. All those people I leveled with now are [at least my] BFF.
When food and friends come together, that's a love feast. Food is my love language. And yesterday included turkey.
Do you have a turkey commentary or any comments about turkey?
I commented (more or less about turkey on my blog, FMF5), you sound like you would be a very gracious hostess.
ReplyDeleteWow looks yummy 😘I am glad you had a good time
ReplyDeleteI really love picture with turkey with the hat it’s cute
ReplyDeleteI like turkey okay, but it's not my favorite. Mostly I fill up on all the yummy sides.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of turkey, although I ate a little on Thanksgiving, along with ham and delicious broccoli casserole. The latter was my wife's contribution to a community Thanksgiving dinner at the Lutheran church our son pastors. The congregation invites the community in for this dinner each year. Leftovers are taken to the homebound.
ReplyDelete"...food is my love language..." That and so many warm lines. Thank you for this Share. Amazed at the power of Gratitude, so richly displayed in every FMF Post. I'm learning, growing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless🍃🌷🍃
