We had thought, very briefly, of trying a prepared Thanksgiving dinner, and found it inordinately expensive while still requiring quite a bit of work. I mean, it’s not like a team of tuxedoed waiters brings in this steaming hot covered silver platter, sets an elegant table for you, and starts carving.
I love preparing the side dishes, anyway, so we then considered bringing in just the prepared turkey breast, maybe even two so we’d have plenty later on. We ended up nixing that, too, so we’re getting a small turkey and will do what we’ve always done. A tradition survives another year.
