It’ll be just me and Mr. S; he works every Thursday, so every Thanksgiving Day for the four years that he’s been at this job. I’m a little 
that we don’t get the big family Thanksgiving gathering anymore (my mom’s in Texas, sister does her own thing [long story], Mr. S’s sibs are all grandparents with extended families of their own, ditto my aunts and uncles). I guess everyone assumes we have other plans. So we’re usually on our own.
So anyway, he works second shift. So I’m going to go run a Turkey Trot in the morning (5 miles, free shirt and 5" pumpkin pie!), and then I’ll make our dinner to enjoy at 11 pm when he gets home:
Glazed ham (mustard, brown sugar, apple juice, cloves)
Mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes combo
Corn and carrots
Green bean casserole
Garlic bread
A sassy little sparkling Shiraz
Apple-cranberry deep-dish pie
The menu is pretty much all Mr. S’s request; he’s not fond of traditional Thanksgiving fare. Fine with me; turkey is a mess and the ham is easy.
