Average Jane Helps You With Thanksgiving Dinner

Written by

I’m not going to cook anything for Thanksgiving this year, but I still have some lovely recipes that YOU may feel free to use if you’re going to cook.

For your Thanksgiving cooking and dining pleasure:

My husband and I (and probably a few friends) are planning to pig out at a chain buffet restaurant. $10 bucks a person for an all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving feast vs. hours of slaving over a hot stove that trips the breaker every time I turn on more than two burners. Hmmm…decisions, decisions…

Yes, we’ve gone the buffet route numerous times and we’ve never regretted it. If we end up with an unsatisfactory meal early in the day, there’s nothing stopping us from finding another restaurant and trying again at suppertime. We can’t lose!

Mmmmmm, I love your cranberry sauce. We’ll be having it tomorrow – thanks for the link so I didn’t have to search for the recipe! And a happy turkey day to you too.

Have a nice Thanksgiving Jane. Sounds like a good idea to eat out, but when it comes to my Christmas Day, I prefer to be holed up in the warm at home, watching the Queen’s speech at 3 o clock. KP

Keith – Christmas Day is a whole different story. We always go to my sister’s house for a big, family dinner. On Thanksgiving, though, they travel to another state to visit my brother-in-law’s family, so that leaves me and my husband to our own devices.

Damn – late posting here, but must comment that the cranberry sauce was a HIT. I must make it for Christmas as well.
