The quotation below is from Ryan O’Hanlon in his article “In
Praise of Pumpkin Pie:”
Without pumpkin pie, there would be no reason to continue with this elegiac revisionist-historical sham that is Thanksgiving. Without it, we’re left with bland, unfrozen white meat that always looks better than it tastes, an excuse to not actually bake bread, mashed potatoes (which are actually pretty good, I’ll admit), and continued suppression of what happened to the Native Americans after the first meal was over.
Yesterday I posted a passage from Eckhart Tolle on the
problem with complaining. And for some
reason, I love O’Hanlon’s complaint.
Maybe it’s the humor.
