Thanksgiving Week and Eating

There’s always food around this time of year. It usually starts around Thanksgiving and continues for the next 6 weeks. No, I’m wrong, it started after Halloween because everyone brought in their leftover candy. By Thanksgiving time, the candy gets replaced with breads and cookies and by Christmas time, it’s popcorn, chocolate, fruitcake and more leftovers.

The quantity increases too. It begins with a small box of chocolate left in the lunchroom or near the fax machine, which gets consumed quickly. Then after Thanksgiving everyone brings in more food they want to get rid of and there’s a lot more to eat. By Christmas, everyone is in the habit of having chocolate before 10:00 a.m.

So what’s your favorite comfort food? Barry Zweibel wants to know because this time of year it’s easy to Mindless Eat as this book suggests. So tell us what sweets are clogging up your lunchroom?
