Today, Easter, it was ham with a host of side dishes. Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day will be barbecued hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken. Thanksgiving will be turkey. Christmas will be a turkey and ham combo.
It seems that all of our holidays have a food tradition attached to them. Is that because we live in constant fear of going hungry, or because having a table between relatives minimizes family brawls?
Perhaps it's more along the lines of the latter. Sleepy, food drunk folks are less likely to become confrontational when thrown together in a group.
Speaking of food drunk and sleepy... it's time for yours truly to become intimately acquainted with a pillow.
