Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for November 18, 2012
Transcript:
Mom: We're having a FULL FAT Thanksgiving!! Cathy: Mom? Mom: Real mashed potatoes made with real butter drenched in real gravy! Thick, sticky bread stuffing...yams smothered in marshmallows...What do we have to show for twenty years of "lite" substitutes?...NOTHING! Who's nostalgic for steamed veggies and fruit juice sweetened pie?...NO ONE! This year we count our blessings, not our fat grams! Goodbye, guilt! Hello, grandma!! Dad: Mother's losing her marbles. Mom: But first she's dipping them in a big blob of real whipped cream!

Well, she has a point. This is the one time of year when NOBODY in his right mind would start a diet — that’s what New Year’s resolutions are for. Besides, it’s perfectly permissible to indulge a bit in the “forbidden” goodies, as long as you don’t overdo the indulging!

I see that, in the last panel, Cathy saved me the trouble of the traditional [eye-roll]. Maybe she’s learning?

Hi Cathyites! Congrats to lightenup!! I find I don’t change most of my recipes anyway — some are just made with light ingredients, some with full fat — they all taste good to me.
