Maybe the Mad Dog 20/20 is also already in the can.

Or, you could this.

(Probably could have use better advertising words, especially this year!)

This is what we're going to do. It's from a place down the street.

Frankly, I don't feel like cooking. It's going to be small: D3, D4, SIL and the two of us.

(how much turkey do I need?)

I am fussing. Steve’s parents are driving over(just the four of us) and I’m cooking the same meal we’ve had since we started doing this however many years ago.

I'm picking up our Thanksgiving dinner prepared at The Golden Lamb. It's the least I could do since I cancelled our reservation for 8. They serve a Thanksgiving dinner as an entree year round and it is outstanding.

Menu: (Plus we added on their banana cream pie which is TO DIE FOR.)

Legendary Sauerkraut Balls
with Cocktail Sauce (8 each)
Golden Lamb Romaine Wedge Salad
fresh romaine lettuce, candied pecans, green apples, smoked cheddar cheese,
creamy balsamic dressing
Slow Roasted Turkey Breast
sliced and ready to heat and serve
2-Day Turkey Gravy
Herb-Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Sage-Sausage & Apple Stuffing
Fall Vegetable Succotash
sweet corn, lima beans, carrots, green beans, bell peppers, onions, garlic, parsley
Cranberry-Orange Chutney
Yeast Rolls & Apple Butter
Fresh-Baked Whole Pumpkin Pie

Cooking the big dinner is much of the fun.

We’re doing it for the three of us. Sure, we’ll have leftovers.

I would be glad to cook a big dinner but for the fact that my family likes the traditional dinner and I hate cooking turkeys. If they'd go for some good old Pilgrim Prime Rib or Duck Breasts Squanto I'd be all over it.
