Thanksgiving-Alone

It's tough to be by yourself on  holidays and even tougher spending time with people you generally do not socialize with. The children I raised all those years choose to finally spend time with their mother. Feel a little betrayed-yes, but there may be a silver cloud. I am a Fifty something  living with 2 Twenty somethings with 3 food philosophies. Food Hell. With one gone supper on the eve was Tempura Fish and Sweet Potato Fries. Thanksgiving Dinner will be Panko Shrimp, Fiery Sweet Potato Soup and a salad. This gives me the opportunity to eat items not generally eaten in our household. If you guessed fish,shrimp and sweet potatoes your right.
Starting the first of the year I plan to blog daily about food off our illustrious streets and the influences from surrounding states. The challenge will be to get Twenty somethings to try new things, I see many night of leftovers in my kitchen. Did I forget to mention all this while trying to be as true to the South Beach eating plan as I can.
