The joys of the low-maintenance holiday
Much as I really enjoy putting on a big spread for Thanksgiving, I have to say there's something gloriously freeing about not doing so this year. Ordinarily I'd've been a complete head-case by this point in the week.
I did get a duck to roast for supper, just 'cuz, but the nice thing about duck is that you don't have to pay a bit of attention to it during the procedure. Three cheers for the self-basting fowl. Now, I may get ambitious enough to make it a-l'orange...but then again, I may NOT.

Cooking is my Zen.

For you, then, the whole menu: duck, wild rice blend, homemade cranberry sauce (the secret ingredient is cardamom), whatever vegetable looks good to me, and if I get super-ambitious I might leave out the sourdough starter overnight and make rolls. And pumpkin pie, so Steve knows it is, in fact, Thanksgiving. Served with pinot noir, if I can find one that does not smell like sweatsocks for under $15.
I have a butternut squash lying around. Maybe I'll make soup, too. ...Is cooking the avoidance behavior for packing, or is packing the avoidance behavior for cooking?

I have no idea why anyone would ever want to avoid cooking.
DK's Thanksgiving Menu - Whatever he can scam out of the kitchen at work. At the nursing home. As you can likely tell, I'd shoot myself in the foot for some duck a-l'orange. Sigh.

...yeah, I don't think so either, but.
Surely they permit you to leave at some point, though? And then you could fix whatever culinary delights your heart desires?
