Shrimpsgiving is not the way of my people but I do like the sound of it
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I tend to like nuts themselves, but I don't like them in anything. Unless peanut butter counts.
We're planning on doing a nuclear-family-only restaurant Thanksgiving tomorrow at Cracker Barrel. The larger family get-together is Friday in Memphis. For that I'm making a quinoa salad with chopped kale, avocado, tomato, and feta, and Mom's making an apricot bundt cake.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I thought about seeing whether my brother or my father and his wife (none of them big on doing holidays) wanted to go to lunch or dinner somewhere tomorrow, but my lingering symptom from being sick for so long is EXHAUSTION. So I'm actually just as glad not to have anywhere I need to be tomorrow. I'll stop at the store on my way home tonight (which will probably suck, I imagine) and pick up a rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, pie, rolls. I've got stuffing mix and frozen veggies at home already. I'll eat when I feel like eating, without having to worry about accommodating anyone else or cleaning my absolute PIT of a house. I feel like I'm supposed to feel bad for not having a Traditional Thanksgiving to attend, but honestly, this year it's kind of a relief not to have to mess with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That does sound nice.
I will be serving shrimp cocktail tomorrow! Come to my house.
Also coconut shrimp with Thai chili sauce for dipping.
Also grilled shrimp in the Mac & Cheese. Shrimpsgiving!
Whoa, that is Shrimpsgiving!

Whoa, that is Shrimpsgiving!
Pro-Tip: I go by my tacqueria and get the shrimp they cook on the plancha. It tastes better than any shrimp I can make, and it's just a tasty little add-on to the M&C.

I wouldn't add anything to m&c myself, but that is a hot tip!

Summary of Zoom call that just ended: everything is fucked and we need another meeting about it

Our wings are not tired.
Guilty verdicts are indeed a Thanksgiving miracle, for which I am grateful.
