Well, I'm off this week for thxgvg, and to help my mom with her radiation therpay. She's also decided that I'll have to deliver the dinner.
Now, keeping in mind that I don't cook (hate the smell of raw food) I've been researching some food stores and restaurants which will sell a full turkey meal. My IBS will take a back seat this year, as I have ample time to get sick and recover, and I'm at the mercy of our guests' expectations. No way my bossy SIL will choke down the dry, bland fare I'd gladly welcome on my plate! (Tho it'd be great to torture her. Heh, heh.)
So in ascending order of price, Shoppers Food Warehouse, Giant, and Boston Market all sell full meals. BM (lol!) might give me the most trouble, but it's the fanciest. I'm going to tool around town to see if I can spot any more deals.
Anyone have any ideas on meals (for 4 + 1 IBS-er) I can cram in my trunk and motor over to the thxgvg table, ready-to-eat?
Am I being too ambitious?? I kinda feel dumped on, but as I don't have anything else to do on my time off...
