You know at the end of Thanksgiving, when your
fridge is full of last little bits of things and your pantry is packed with tiny McCormick spice
containers that you
hold onto, knowing
in your heart of hearts that the last bit of pumpkin purée will go fuzzy
in the refrigerator door and the pumpkin pie spice will turn rancid by the time you search for it
in the back corners of the cabinet next fall?
There was actually enough left over for two lunches, and I found myself standing
in front of the
fridge holding both
containers of it
in my hands, wondering if I should bring both for lunch, just
in case I wanted two helpings.
