Showing Original Post only (View all)Some people hate cooking for Thanksgiving [View all]
I feel like we've done it so much, it's down to an art. I prep a day ahead, spouse handles the bird, make rolls and potatoes day of, heat everything, set the table and eat!
Close friend despises cooking but her family wants to have Thanksgiving dinner. She looks for a place to eat out. They want to eat at home. So she ordered everything and picked it up last year. Now she said she hates having to heat things up. Looking for a buffet to eat out instead. But her adult kids want to cook and said they would. LET THEM, I said. But she feels like she'll end up having to help. It's one day. I can't offer her any further advice.
I can't wait to eat turkey for a week!
