Recently, my college friends and I started a Yahoo! Group as a way to keep in touch.  It’s an invite-only group, so there’s some privacy.  You know, in case some parent Googles me.  It’s a fun way to harrass each other and post family pictures for everyone to see.  We try to get together every so often, so the polls will help garner ideas and dates possible.

It has been a welcome diversion, with all the smack talk and the connection, and I was delighted that my friend sent a Holiday Food Haiku challenge on today’s post.  Because as much as I like reliving some of the stories from college and shortly after, one thing I enjoy even more is my embracing my geekiness.  Despite doing the whole “college thing”, from sorority to lil’ sister to Homecoming Court (That’s my taxicab confession), I am, at heart, a 72-year-old.  Just with a slightly better rack.

Here are my brief odes:

Warm pie with whip cream
A belly ready to burst
Boar’s Head ham with glaze

Or

Damn appetizers
Too tempting by half, say I
Save room for dessert

Or

Give thanks for this meal
Unbutton the top button
Sweet couch for napping!

Or

Potatoes galore
A secret stash in the fridge
Awaits for Friday

***Never said I was TALENTED.  Just said I am a geek.
