Before the future

[flexagon]

In the meantime, the bug and I flat-out ordered our Thanksgiving dinner this year. Complete with a pie. We've done so many holidays with just the two of us (and the cats) that we haven't shared in this year's communal agonizing over whether to travel or get together with someone, but it's the first time we've moneyed our way out of cooking.

I think it's fine. I've got enough other stuff on my mind and to-do list.

Oo where did you get your Thanksgiving dinner from?

[apfelsingail]

Yeah, do it!!!

Yeah, we ordered our Thanksgiving dinner from Fresh Direct. I'll probably bake something for dessert. I was not particularly interested in cooking turkey, and C said he would be sad to have Thanksgiving without turkey, so ordering seemed like the best option. He's never had Thanksgiving without his parents before/he's used to big Thanksgiving meals with extended family, so I wanted to defer to him on food because it's a bigger deal for him. I've had a variety of Thanksgivings but haven't done Thanksgiving with my own family since early college, and it's not a big deal to me one way or another. I've had two-person Thanksgivings and I've had solo Thanksgivings (including one that involved ice skating and hot cider and pumpkin pie) and I've had big Thanksgivings with other people's families and I've been fine with all of those, so a two-person Thanksgiving this year with me not cooking is fine by me.

Agreed. We did the same. There's too much else that I can't outsource, *and* it helps support local restaurants.
