and it's one of the few meals I consider edible here, although other tenants tell me it's getting better as time goes on and the new chef settles in. Uh, I'll do my own cooking, thnaks.
There is another option, places like Boston Market offer the usual Thanksgiving fare, much of which can be purhased a day or two in advance. Heat it all up and they'll never know and as I recall, Boston Maret wasn't bad, at all.
I'm with the cooking haters even though I love to cook. Thanksgiving dinner has turned into a stupid production, silly tradition (peer pressure from dead people) has taken over from common sense. I mentioned roasting capons for smaller gatherings rather than being stuck with leftover turkey until Xmas, when another turnkey will likely be cooked if you don't live in NM. Here, it's Xmas tamales.
Honestly? If I still lived in a house and had family ready to descend, I'd hire a caterer, I inherited enough money to do that once a year. They'd feed everybody and then clean up after themselves. Barring that, I'd pre order at Boston Market. I doubt I'd go the restaurant route, that's too big a step toward giving up completely. The hungry hordes just wouldn't get turkey and tradition.
