This was the best long weekend I’ve had since college. I am completely stuffed. And I barely spent a dime — SUCCESS!!! Since Thursday I have gone back to S’s place every single day to eat Thanksgiving leftovers for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the weekend was full of free drinks and free table service and free blackouts. (Thanks to D who gives me free stuff every time I see him, like drinks and raw almonds and granola bars.)
So, I am trying to see how many consecutive days I can go off Thanksgiving leftovers. I’m on day 3 so far, and today S let me take a huge tupperware of turkey, corn pudding, green bean casserole and sausage stuffing. Just as Cheryl David does not respect wood, S and the rest of the ibanking world do not respect leftovers which is why I feel as though I am doing a good deed by taking his leftovers which would have otherwise just gone down the trash chute. Like the entire tray of oyster stuffing that I found out today that S threw out because I forgot to put it back in the fridge after I ate from the tray yesterday, and S thought the oysters would have already gone bad. YOU DID WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is that about?!?!?!?!?! Everyone knows that once something’s cooked, it can go unrefrigerated and still remain edible for at least 3-4 days, especially when it’s wintertime and the apartment is cold to begin with. (NOTE: The only time this rule failed me was that one time I left the beef fried rice stuffed up in my room overnight and it turned into gooey goo the next day when I tried to eat it for lunch. That sucked. But that was the only time.)
Anyway, I’m over it. I am all sunshines from the weekend, and I’ve got my humongous tupperware, which I predict will last me at least half way through this work week if not the entire work week. It gets better. I later came home tonight to a fridge full of leftovers from roommates L&M’s Thanksgiving in Boston, including turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and a delicious homemade apple pie. SUCCESS!!!
