I will not cook Thanks Giving dinner

[igloo]

My wife does not cook and the idea of slaving in the kitchen all day just does not appeal to me this year . So we are going Cru this year . And yes you can smoke your pipe outside . So tell me what you think . http://www.cruawinebar.com/cru-events.htm

Ordered the complete Bob Evans Feast for $74.99 and feeds 6-8 people. My wife will get home on Wed. Evening and does not deserve to be forced to cook a big meal.....or have to clean it up either

 

[hobie1dog]

Order the Pan Seared Salmon for me ::

Aww, gotta love a thoughtful, attentive man!

The way I see it it probably cost less .It is only the two of us this year . The only one missing out is the dog Marrisa .

I think you've made a wise choice. I'm the cook at my house. We live in a co-op and I usually end up doing a lot of cooking for the co-op TG and later for the Christmas dinner. One year I bailed and took my sweetie out for Chrizbah. The Chinese folks running it tried hard but did not understand about Christmas fare. It was only so-so BUT, not cooking and missing the monster clean up was still worth it.
TG is well past in Canada but we're already planning for Christmas. I am getting a Bulldog for Chrizbah so I can't afford to bail this year. See what this pipe thang is making me do.

I usually cook,(with my team), 20 to 30 turkeys and maybe 40 lbs of ribs and half a dz prime ribs...enough to feed around 200 or so people but this year due to a serious back problem i have bowed out. Helga and I will be seated at one of the tables instead of in the kitchen. Feels funny cause this is the first time since 2003 i havn't cooked.

I'll be baking a honey ham. 9 lbs and it's just me and the dogs.

Hey MacNutz, what's Chrisbah? Is that where you yell "Bah! Humbug!" before someone finishes saying "Christmas"? If so, I celebrate that same holiday.
bhpdrew- I just noticed your sig. I think Freud said something similar about Hoplophobia. Jeff Cooper was the MAN!

 

[macnutz]

Yes, Chrisbah or Chrizbah, puts the Chriz back in Bah Humbug. Sometimes I'm too fond of making up words. Before you know it, it's part of my vocabulary and I forget it isn't in the dictionary. I'm a bit of a Grinch, but unlike a true Grinch, I still larf at myself on a regular basis.

We'll have about a dozen at our house Thursday. My wife will be doing the cooking, but with lots of assistance from three grown daughters. They enjoy it, so I will stay out of the way. Probably have to help keep the dog out of the way, too.

I will be cooking a 15 lb bird for the four of us. I would offer a plate to anyone in the area that wants to join, but not sure how many are in my neck of western North Carolina.

I'll be cooking something, but not a turkey. What else is very american?

 

[olderthandirt]

What else is very american

Hotdogs?
I'm putting a ham together for the wife and I. She's working straight through the holidays so as a reward she gets to suffer through my cooking.

 

[juni]

I have my own take on hotdogs, with the sausage baked into the bread. Good idea.
Edit: Apparently that is called "Pigs in a blanket"

 

[olderthandirt]

chicken, inside of a duck, inside of a turkey

A Turducken has got to be about as American as you can get!

 

[juni]

Sounds absolutely nasty. :P

Apparently that is called "Pigs in a blanket"

My neck o' the woods that's a weanie roll-up and we love em'!
Pigs in a blanket is sausage rolled up in a pancake.
