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)

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.
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.
I think my family-in-law is going to try the CI turkey recipe this year.

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.
My grandmother got hepatitis from a raw oyster!
(or so she

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.

That's a good idea, or maybe we'll get fancy and have cornish game hens or something.
Really, I'd almost as soon skip the main dish and just load up on mashed potatoes and stuffing.
