Fast Food Thanksgiving

We were going to go out for Thanksgiving dinner this year, just the two of us.

I decided to buy a cooked smoked turkey at the grocery store for "leftovers" and meals after Thanksgiving. How often to fully cooked turkeys go on sale, I thought, so why not?

Then we decided. Let's just stay in this year for a change, we couldn't make up our minds where to go and haven't made any reservations yet.

So we got some instant stuffing (just add butter), some canned yams, a ready made pecan pie, some fresh frozen green beans, canned cranberry sauce, gravy from a jar. The only thing I'm going to put any effort in making fresh mashed potatoes because I loathe instant.

I didn't realize that grocery stores have made it so easy for us working people to have a nice dinner. I haven't cooked at home in 20 years.



(*Darned instant mashed potato*!!! Pffftt!!!!)


But heck.....20 years????!!!!


OMG - I can almost *hear* her left ventricle slamming SHUT.......


So....Wally......how much do you think THAT person would welcome taking on more dietary responsibility???

I *suspect* it is me you refer to as having written the angry post (Oy!!!!...Quiet in the cheapseats!!! )

And if it is, well, it is with more reason than you probably suspect.....

And whilst I would say that it is very *generous* of you to feel the way you do (about the diet) I can't help thinking that you're maybe being somewhat naive here??

This is certainly not the best of times for me to be posting, but I *cannot* sit back and read BS - and it's entirely THAT feeling which has kept me on this site....even when I had VERY good reasons to leave.....

Never make assumptions Wally

Take care,

Jan
