Christmas Dinner on the down low: the back story ... there was a time in my life when I had a booze/drug problem that persisted for a couple of decades, and one Christmas I was particularly down & out ... no job, no car, no money, I scraped up all my loose change and walked to a 7-11 Store on Christmas morning and bought a tater, an onion and a package of weinies ... went home and made this casserole for my Christmas dinner. By the Grace of God, I've been clean and sober now for almost 20 years ~ don't need to eat like that any more and I certainly didn't need to eat like this today ... but I think that in order to appreciate where you are, you gotta remember where you been. Merry Christmas Y'all, and would somebody please pass the catsup .... Ho Ho Ho.
