Homemade is so worth the minor extra effort. For one person, just a large baking potato will suffice. Just peel the skin, chop into cubes and boil for about 15 minutes until fork soft/tender. Mash and mix with melted butter, maybe a little warm milk, salt and pepper. Add sour cream, bacon bits, cheese, anything that appeals to you.

Quoting: QCluminati was probably 15 years ago, maybe more wow? nothing at all for Thanksgiving day? Or just don't like turkey? I'm sick of turkey, and would rather have chicken. Going to the ex's house for dinner. I wish I could meet a nice senior woman that would like to start some new traditions. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |

Quoting: Gypo O'Leary For example, I don't think I've said anything to another person since Saturday morning. Anyway...I'm thinking of buying a turkey, cooking it, just for myself. On Wednesday, I would make a cheesecake from scratch for myself. Then on Thursday, I will -Julienne some green beans, and make a mushroom gbean casserole. -make some dinner rolls from those pull apart cardboard things -Mike Evans mashed potatoes that I can microwave -stuff and dress a smaller 5-7lbs Turkey and cook it in an electric roaster. I bought a 12 dollar bottle of Hungarian white wine that I will drink. I will watch football games alone. I don't have much to give thanks for...but I believe in maintaining my dignity as I go to the grave. Thanksgiving at 12:01am I will drive to work and work til 7am. I will then drive home and try and get some food in me (probably left over tacos) and try and get some sleep only to wake up Thanksgiving afternoon and drive back into work at 6pm to work the rest of Thanksgiving Evening into Friday morning at 7am. Rinse and repeat Friday and Saturday. Be thankful you're able to enjoy a peaceful day off and what sounds to be like a fine meal. I'm envious. Last Edited by m8n8 on 11/23/2021 02:28 PM |

Lots of folks in your situation will be there. I moved to a city by myself and I did this. Found some frens. Quoting: Piggie Wet Fart well...thank you. maybe i will look at that idea. i thought that was more families heading out to a restaurant meal, but i'll look into it. Lots of people are on their own. By choice or not. It’s a good time to go out and meet people. |
