My Thanksgiving Feast!

Thanksgiving breakfast brunch is beautiful this morning... thanks to my friends at Hy-Vee!

They were pushing take-home turkey-dinner sign-ups all week long... As it turns out the best value on the menu, with the most choices of sides (5!),  is breakfast brunch.

Ham-and-egg quiche, hash-brown casserole, bacon, sausage links, sausage patties... (Hy Vee is out of Iowa: good meat counter, great pork). I can supplement w/fruit.

Might even get a nap in before listening to the game!  🐻 Hope your holiday is happy, your travels safe, and your blessings many! Keep it real; no virtue signaling at our tables today, okay?

(Remember this if you're tempted to post your White child reading Born on the Water at suuuch an early age, she's trumped by children who go to integrated schools, play together daily, and live and work alongside families economically similar, but with far better results of diverse community living ... Nttawwt your White child's social development, but maybe hold off on the heavy books that early-on label the dark kids as descendants of slaves, and just let them out to play -- and make real friends with? -- other real children, who live nearby but come from other cultural backgrounds?

More reality in our... "diversity studies" might abate the growing economic inequalities that persist despite well meaning socialist progressives posting their W's.

 (Sure, read the kid the book if you want to saddle them with such tales in childhood. But why post the picture? In years to come, these posed kids will get called out on their privilege -- "My retired grandma picked me up every day from gradeschool in her new Subaru... We were always 'line leader' because she got there a half-hour earlier than working parents and those raising sibling without extra to time to spend sitting and waiting. She really taught me privilege and how to "win"! I didn't have any black friends in my segregated suburb (too wealthy for them to buy in, to though there's always one or two, often mixed, and foreign-exchange students in the upper grades!)

Happy Thanksgiving. Count your blessings and be aware what you've putting on for show, especially ask who is subsidizing your privileges and paying the sins of Americans past?

Gotta go -- my pork is waiting...
