I am going out with a few friends to a restaurant. None of us want to spend all the time and effort cooking. None of us have extended family living nearby, and none of us want to travel to visit extended family .
I would’ve happily taken the boys to a Thanksgiving buffet at an area casino, we’ve done that on occasion, but the end result would be that I’d have very little time actually with the boys, because they would not want to get together until then, and they would want to go to their mom‘s house immediately afterwards. Taking the effort to cook the dinner, have movies, I get them more willing to spend the entire day with me at my house.
Happy Thanksgiving, FRiends.
We learned years ago cook it ourselves to not get sick and to have what we like.
