"I was going to mash fewer potatoes this year." I tried to wedge the last chunks of potato into the six quart pot.
"I think you miscalculated." Lut settled the turkey breast into the roaster oven.
"It's not my fault." I poured in a little more water. I couldn't quite cover the last bits of potato without overflowing the pot. "Wal-Mart only sold five pound bags."
"And you couldn't have gone to another store where they sold smaller quantities?"
"... it's Wal-Mart's fault." I turned the stove on. "That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Add some Sour Cream (the Germans do) or Curry or Paprika
(You'll find a hundred variants if you're a proper seeker)
And then upon the table she can place these worldly rations
For no one can resist the Lady Rowyn's Mash o' Nations.
