I'm totally going to Marie Callendar's for their turkey lunch today.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

actually, my favorite turkey dinner as at Redbones, the Somerville BBQ place, on Tuesday nights. for $8.99, you get a heaping plate of smoked turkey, sausage & cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn with jalepeno, cornbread, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
If I could eat that on Thanksgiving along with several delicious beers, I certainly would. Otherwise, I'm a bit on the underwhelmed side about the whole endeavor. No one in my family enjoys cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and whenever Tom and I do it, it's freaking exhausting. (Same for Xmas)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Since this year we're doing both families at Christmas instead of one at Thanksgiving, it'll probably be just us for Thanksgiving. We'll have to figure out how to do Thanksgiving dinner for two plus one finicky nibbler.

Thrive to spite them
Marie Callendar makes a really good turkey frozen dinner. Actually all of their frozen dinners are really good, but the turkey and the meatloaf are my favorites.

Heh. I had to laugh at myself after I posted that. Could I BE any more anti-holiday? I didn't even mean to do it this time!

You can buy just the breast and roast it. That and two or three sides seem to do for the three of us.

My ex got cholera from an oyster shell. That was exciting.

Is that the same one they picked in America's Test Kitchens (brining the turkey won out, IIRC)?

Time to start perfecting your "Bah humbugs!" Nora. You know the Xmas decorations start going up after Halloween these days.
