There are not a lot of restaurants advertising in the Daily Sun, nor did they last year. Only a few "advertised" choices and some are already sold out.

We'll be doing the same. Last year I ordered the Thanksgiving Dinner from Publix. We did not like it at all. Correction -- really liked the Ambrosia side dish but nothing else.

Two turkeys, 12 people. Thankfully not at our house.

I will cook, and sons and daughter will bring a dish or two including a smoked ham. I will fix a turkey with homemade noodles and dressing and mashed potatoes. We will celebrate at our Missouri home, with three kids, three spouses, eleven grandkids, nine in-laws, two sisters, wife's mother,and a nephew and two nieces. That's thirty-two! whew! Hectic fun!

I brine my turkey and make all fixings, even when no one is coming and we go elsewhere.

It’s a guaranteed plenty of leftovers. Small turkeys are easily obtainable and sides take very little effort.

I am picking up an already brined turkey from Trader Joe’s this year. Hoping it’s as good as mine.

Trying to be creative with the food items and still give him the flavors without using a blender.

Where are you going if you're eating out?

I normally deep fry turkeys during Thanksgiving and cook the rest of the meal, but, I'm having rotator cuff surgery this Thursday (11/8) so Mrs. KC will bake a turkey and split the other cooking with her Mom.

Ordered the dinners from Publix last year. They were ok, but there was quite a mix up at the store so we had to keep going back to get everything. We are trying Fresh Market this year. Just 4 of us, but we should have enough for days!

Stuffing. Lots of stuffing. Crustless pumpkin pie. Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce! Mashed potatoes. Whiskey sours.

Good luck to you, kc. May you heal quickly.

As always we shall dress in traditional settler attire, consume turkey and all sides, then play football just like the pilgrams and indians did.

Last year I was ill so we made no plans. We purchased the Publix dinner, which was good BUT wayyyy too much food for 2 people. This year we're trying Fresh Market and beyond that have no plans as "one of us" has to work.
