Jesse, if I had two ovens, I'd consider doing that.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If I had two freezers, I might.

I have two fridges/freezers.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My fridge and freezer are full. Somehow I am buying more food for thanksgiving. Just the two of us. I have no idea how this is going to work....

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
It's just the 2 of us for Thanksgiving this year, but we're cooking with the intent to have leftovers of everything but the roasted broccoli (because it doesn't reheat well) (I mean, you can reheat it, but it loses that roasted crunchiness, and that's just sad-making).

The smallest turkey I could get was 10 lbs., so we'll definitely have a lot of leftovers. True confession: I stuck the frozen turkey in the fridge on Friday "for a second" with the intention of checking how long I actually needed to let it thaw in there and then stick it in the freezer until that time. Which I completely forgot to do. Why didn't I just stick it in the freezer in the first place? GREAT question. I have no idea. And now it's thawed, and we kind of have to cook it today and certainly by tomorrow. So. We will have turkey on Thanksgiving, but we won't roast the turkey on Thanksgiving. I roll my eyes and shake my head at myself.

I bought a boneless turkey breast which I'm going to cook roulade style, and I also bought some turkey thighs that I'll either roast on Thanksgiving or freeze and roast at a later date.

Punishingly Intricate
I landed on making food for my parents ^ the 2 of us), bringing it up to them midday Thursday, then going home and eating separately. So, we'll get to see each other, and share food, but will avoid unmasked time.
I'm making a bunch of different dishes because that's my favorite thing about Thanksgiving! Lots of flavors and textures on one plate.

JenP stick that turkey in a brine and it will be good in fridge for a couple of days! I'm buttermilk brining the turkey breast I'm making.
