Thanksgiving Dinner Menu

Some of you may already know that Daddy-J and Mama-V do not travel for the holidays. What you may not know is that we also rarely cook holiday feasts. We did one year that I recall, when we had an au pair from South Africa, because we wanted to let her experience a "real" Thanksgiving!

But in general, we take advantage of living in a ski-resort town and order up a catered Thanksgiving Dinner. This year is no exception, but we are trying a different place.

And would you believe that the price for a full turkey meal for 6-8 people is less than what I would pay just for the ingredients? Never mind the prep time (and cleanup time) with three little kids under foot? Uh uh, not going to happen.

So we will happily go somewhere to watch the Detroit Lions play football, then perhaps get a few ski turns in (if there's any snow), and then pick up our Thanksgiving Dinner from Good Thymes and bring it home to enjoy.

Hope you all have a happy and peaceful holiday as well.
