Black Friday?  Every Friday is black here or nearly so.  But today the big difference is 40% off!  Free shipping!

Meanwhile, I’m still giving thanks for yesterday’s feast.

Two birds, rainbow Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, cornbread and chicken stuffing, cranberry sauces, and four pies.

And, best of all, this A.M.: Turkey and bacon sandwiches on Challah.  The bacon had been shipped from Tracklements, in Ann Arbor, and folks?  If this isn’t the best bacon in America, I don’t know what is.

OK, I do know: Father’s, from Kentucky is a close second.  Just ordered three pounds to be shipped.  Why, Christmas is just around the corner.

Day after Thanksgiving?  Black Friday.

Day after Christmas? Boxing Day.

Speaking of traditions developed by the English?
Today it’ll be Skyfall.

Welcome to Boston, Mr. Bond.  I trust your trip was not too…unsettling…
