Cathy: Is your Mom a "vintage carb" person or a "new carb" person? Irving: What? Cathy: I need to know her carb position so I'll know what to bring for Thanksgiving. Does she allow "vintage carbs" like mashed potatoes for the high nostalgia content...or only "new carbs" like biscotti-based stuffing? Irving: Huh? Cathy: Does a "squishy carb" like a roll have more or less guilt points for your Mom than a "crumbly carb" like a nine-grain breadstick? Irving: Huh? Cathy: Does she differentiate between "junk carbs," "haute cuisine carbs" and "Happy Holiday carbs"...or is she an "extreme carb counter" who won't be in the same zip code with a pie? Irving: Huh? Cathy: If there were a turkey-shaped cookie in the house, would it be hidden in your Mom's purse or brazenly displayed on the counter?? Irving: How would I know?? Cathy: ...What on earth do they talk to their mothers about???

Not that, I can assure you, Cathy. Men don’t obsess over things like that the way you do!

I like the Happy Holiday carbs best – everyone knows that those carbs have no calories. We got our first probably permanent snowfall last night. Looks really beautiful out there.

I don’t care about carbs during the main eating holidays, I just try to eat a little of everything and worry about working it off later.
Hello Cathy friends! Thank you for the blessings and the thought stuffinup, it’ll be hard but we’ll get him home for Christmas. Since Thanksgiving is such a short break, it’s just too expensive. He’s in Wisconsin, we’re in Ohio.
