Thanksgiving leftovers:  one of the best aspects of the Thanksgiving celebrations.  Unfortunately, because I am a vegetarian, I can't take advantage of this part of Thanksgiving as I was once able.  However, leftovers remain and they must be taken advantage of.  So, what is a vegetarian to do with a leftover turkey leg?  Give it to her cat, who will relish it in place of stale, likely cardboard-like kibble.  Olivia doesn't take much interest in people food, save for an ice cold beer; Elliot, on the other hand, will inhale any meat anywhere in the apartment.  Pepperoni, sausage, chicken, turkey, he'll eat it all.  Perhaps he is making up for all of the meat I refuse to eat.  In any event, Elliot feasted on a leftover turkey leg for dinner this evening.  I'm hoping his appetite persists until the turkey leg is eaten in its entirety as Elliot could use some fattening up.
