“Hungry Man dinner and a pumpkin pie.”
I would DO IT IN ONE HOT MINUTE, BUT...
[and there’s always a “but”]
...family, and there’s already been a turkey bought and put in the freezer (which reminds me that I need to begin thawing it)...
...so TV dinner offers no refuge for me; I have to get out there on the culinary stage and do the song and dance number. Uunnngghh.
...
I wonder...do they do Thanksgiving in Perth?
Back in the days when Thanksgiving weekend was Nutcracker weekend, we often ate out. There just wasn’t any energy for cooking after karting kids to all those rehearsals and performances and things.
They do celebrate Thanksgiving in Perth, but probably in line with their own “Canada Day” or Thanksgiving in GB, which I seem to have forgotten the circumstances of. Slowly but surely, the world is catching on to American customs. ;o]
Next year, I’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving with my Favorite Son and his family, so this is the last year for Hungry Man and pumpkin pie. I’ll make a pie next year, but I’ll have to adjust the recipe so my diabetic Favorite Son will be able to eat it. I think I’ve made pumpkin pie twice in the last 20 years, and one of those was when I was living in Del Rio.
For now, I’m happy with my choices! I don’t have to get Dressed Up, put on my Sunday Manners and make Polite Conversation. :o]
