Not me.

Okay, “kill turkey on Thursday morning.”

I was supposed to make rolls for the church, but one thing led to another.
Church is canceled due to weather, so my poor bread is in the freezer.

You inspired me! I just whipped up some homemade 'nog. It's been raining here all day so figured I'd make myself useful.

I’m making mine right now.

8 eggs
4 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
1 gallon milk

Heat on the stove medium-low to medium, stirring constantly, until it steams and coats the spoon, usually no more than an hour depending on the stove. Let cool, strain and serve.

The plan for Thanksgiving is lobster, turkey soup, mashed potatoes and gravy, steamed corn, and I plan to make a chocolate dump cake with the vodka cherries I preserved over the summer but I have a coconut cream pie in the freezer if it doesn’t work out.

If I was going to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, I would do the deed on Monday morning so the carcass could "rest" for 3 days.

I am not cooking a Thanksgiving type meal for one person.

Day of you can put it straight in the oven before rigor sets in.
I still prepared dinner when it was just me. Granted that was only once, but I needed something to be happy about.
