Thanksgiving fast

The Thanksgiving Day this year coincided with the beginning of the Chanukkah and was quickly dubbed the Thanksgivukkah.  My Thanksgiving Day was almost as exceptional as I fasted through the day on account of the viral diarrhea of exceptional severity that I suffered at dawn.  Consequently, after a light breakfast of tea with honey and then rice gruel for lunch, instead of a sumptuous dinner I had an invitation to, I thanked for my (normal) health and the circle of great friends and the city of New York which nourishes my mental and emotional well-being, with a dinner of more rice gruel and boiled tofu dipped in soy sauce — an abbreviated Bratty diet.
