It is a week to Turkey Day and we have no plans. I know what I want to do but K-Bug is being a total waffle. If I felt better, I'd commit to all the cooking myself. I should be better by then but I'd like to have backup.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Maybe a cool character on a kids'show has braces> Friend in the neighborhood?
Trader Joes has a frozen turkey dinner for two (turkey and stuffing) 12.99. Well actually for four, but I'm assuming with tday gluttony for two. Don't know how good this will be I'm going to do this, make cranberry sauce and sweet potato and maybe buy a small pumpkin pie. TJs there is a good chance it will be decent.
So I just went to sit down on the bus, and my knee made a horrible popping noise and it felt like a muscle or tendon actually moved over or under my kneecap, and for about three minutes it was all I could do not to scream or throw up. Now it hurts less, and I am hoping to be able to walk to change buses, but both my knee and my ankle kill. WtTF was that and what should I do?
How does one make oatmeal (no prize for that segue) in the microwave without everything going splodey?
Sophia,
I think you should ice it as soon as you get home. that's all I got.
Put oatmeal in bowl. Use microwave to boil water in cup. pour boiling water onto oatmeal. Stir well. cool bowl 30 seconds at a time until done, stirring each time. Not a huge labor saver over stovetop except: 1) and water not added to oatmeal is pour off immeadiately. Rest evaporates from cup. 2) When done with bowl it can be put in dishwasher.
Thus, no saving in cooking labor, but some saving in cleaning labor.
WRT Thanksgiving, my mom has decreed that she cannot stand turkey, and isn't all that fond of the usual trimmings, either. We are therefore having homemade Thai curry. Possibly shrimp curry at that.
I am not complaining.

I put a saucer on top of everything I heat in a bowl in the microwave.
Also, heat for 45 seconds, stir, heat for 45 seconds, stir.
Huh.
I put half a cup of oatmeal in a bowl with one cup water and nuke for two min. No cover, no stirring until its done.
Or I'll do one cup oatmeal with two cups of water for three minutes.
I have yet to have a splodey incident.
