Playlist For November 28, 2021: The Leftovers Edition

First off, hope you all had the kind of Thanksgiving you wanted.

With: 

a.) Relatives

b.) No relatives (often easier)

c.) Turkey, tofurkey, dump cake, jello molds (mold?), and/or kale au gratin. (Pick 2. Or 7.)

d.) An on-your-own/feet-up/old-movie-binge kinda holiday, with popcorn or pizza or popcorn pizza. (It MUST exist, right?) 

Yup, both kinds exist.

Pizza Popcorn 

ANNNND

Popcorn Pizza.

 

All good. I just hope it was of your OWN choosing, and that you got the perfect amount of relaxation shoe-horned in there somehow. 

I know I did. Like a bit of alllll the above, plus some Xmas planning, cuz that'll be here in about 47 minutes. Plus time for flossing out the popcorn. 

And speaking of leftover kernels, this week's 2 On The Aisle edition will face the rapidly-becoming-questionable LEFTOVERS stockpiled in your fridge. Which gives me a great excuse to play FOOD songs. (Leftovers? you counter. What leftovers? They're all a.) eaten, b.) chucked, c.) given away to Uncle Fester. There is nothing left-for-over!) See, I assume a lot. And yes, it's a total excuse to play Food, Glorious Food songs dealing with Turkey (Lurkey) Spinach (Gotta Eat Your's!), Bananas, Clams, Cakes, and Candy. Yup, they're all grist for the Broadway mill, both classic and absurd.

So listen"fully"! After that, we'll rejoin our composer/lyricist series (I promise), go on diets...and then Christmas Broadway, of course. Then a whole new year. Definitely hoping for brand new Broadway in my stocking. :)
