What are you doing for Turkey Day? I’m off to my goddaughter’s extended family, about 1:45 away. All I need to bring is Brie and nice crackers.

We are going to kind of ignore it. I have "Mom Duty" that day, so I'm going to go over and spend time with her like I usually do, and I don't plan to even mention that it's Thanksgiving. DH and I will have dinner later, but we're planning to have ravioli as a main course. The little specialty bakery/pasta shop that we like was not crowded last year the day before Thanksgiving, so we're hoping for the same this year. DH will bake a pie of some sort.
We'll be eating at DS2 house. It's funny. We all have houses that are too small for family dinners (except for my former house that is now DS1's house in NJ). Up here in VT we struggle to find suitable accommodations for dinners exceeding 6 people. But DS2's house is the least small so that's where we're headed. We each bring something as prepared in advance as possible to make it easy on ourselves.

I suppose we will cook a turkey. We are buying one anyway, may or may not cook it on The Day.
Haven't heard anything about family get togethers. B-i-l just had the first step towards dentures, and his mother has been in and out of hospital, so I doubt my sister is doing it. Mom hasn't said a word about anything and there now is a snow prediction. Sounds like I may get to sleep in (first time since Easter), and fry some chicken, that day.
Getting together at a sibling's house. It's always so much fun. And with everyone just bringing one or two sides, appetizers or desserts, there is always way too much food!

Had turkey and all the fixings at a local restaurant Wednesday. It was very good. The “day” may be spent playing cards with friends and just having appetizers.
There are several recipes for assembling “1 pan Thanksgiving dinners” and I think that is a brilliant idea for small households.Here is one:

Driving to Texas - one more time. Gotta see the grand-twins while I can.
I love one-dish/pan meals! That looks pretty good, IL. Thanks for the link.
