I've talked my family into doing duck instead of turkey this year (I can get them from a local small farm even!) so at least if we have to cancel the medium-sized gathering I can put the extra ducks in the freezer instead of being stuck with a whole preordered turkey.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The good (?) thing about starting work at 6 means that I'm done now.

Mmm, duck.
We did heritage turkeys a couple times, which are more expensive, typically smaller, and truly delicious. I don't have my local hookup for that any more...oh, wait, maybe I should check if the order online pickup at the farm ad hoc CSA has turkeys...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'm done for the day also. And the texting group has no texting and the QC stuff I do is all on hold because the tracking documents are not tracking things correctly. WAH!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Thanks for the ideas, Nora & -t, I'll have to start looking/asking around.
I've never heard of heritage turkeys; I'll have to see what my CSA comes up with next month.
Oh, that sucks about the anxiety meds!

Our wings are not tired
Our current Thanksgiving plan involves a very small group of us who are all being very careful. We are lucky that in Los Angeles the testing sites are giving results within 24 hours. So the plan is for everyone that is attending to get a test on Tuesday and then essentially quarantine. We will all get results on Wednesday and then have Thanksgiving on Thursday. Everyone attending will have had a negative test result within 24 hours of the dinner, on top of them being trusted careful folks, and they will be quarantined between taking the test and coming to dinner. It's not perfect, but I think it is a fairly robust plan.

Pretty darn near perfect, ND. If I could have that kind of set-up, I'd consider the family Thanksgiving. But they're not doing anything like that.

Yeah, there is a testing site about 5 minutes from my home and we get results the next day. I've been testing every other week, and Pix is testing on the alternate weeks, so between the two of us we are never farther out that 7 days on a test. I've also had a worksite that is operating under the filming rules for Covid, so we need to be tested once a week on that site to be able to enter. I think I've had around a dozen tests at this point.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary's mom was talking about Skyping with us for T'Giving, rather than us going to her house, so we'll have to figure out what we're making for ourselves.

That sounds pretty darn safe, ND. Nice.
