My wife and I are empty nesters here in New England. Meanwhile our daughter is in the process of moving to Houston, so we’re spending Thanksgiving alone.
The plan was to eat at a restaurant. The two places we went to before were not open, so we ended up making reservations at a “last resort” expensive steak house. I wasn’t thrilled with the menu.
This morning my wife asked me if I really wanted to go. I sensed her desire to stay home all day and sleep. She’d been experiencing a great deal of anxiety. I said we should stay home, and we canceled the reservation.
And right now, believe it or not, I’m fasting! I do plan to have a salad soon and then make something in a fry pan with the Beyond Beef chop “meat” that’s been in the freezer for months.
I am a bit disappointed – I was looking forward to turkey and mashed turnips. But the restaurant was serving only the traditional mashed potatoes and stuffing (which do not combine well with turkey and is just filler) plus green beans, one of my lesser liked vegetables.
I’m sure I can find turkey thighs, parsnips and turnips tomorrow and then make a better dinner for one-fifth the price.
Anyway, enough about me; what are you doing today?
