Thanksgiving Plans<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I intentionally put this one back, didn’t write about it early because I wanted to stick to what I’d laid out in the intro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here it is, and I’m not nearly as excited as I had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

And every time I get back to this, I seem to get distracted. Work. Broken account on app. Intertubes problems at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But back to Thanksgiving. We don’t have a lot of space here to cook and dine, really. The guests are going to be in and out quickly, stopping by on their way to an event farther away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d gotten an email from a local restaurant group I like. They had pickup meals, but those were incredibly expensive. Full dinner…turkey, sides, etc.. But the price tag was something around $400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, spending that much money for four people is insane. So, too, was driving into the District to pick it all up on Thanksgiving Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me dig through my myriad local restaurant emails to see who’s got a special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh. Here’s one from the sorta hoity-toity fancy pizza joint. Wood-burning ovens cooking turkeys instead of pizzas. That could work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price wasn’t very high, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve gotta go pick it up, but I’m hoping it turns out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Don’t really have too much else planned for Thursday. It’s looking cold enough that I might be able to justify to myself breaking into some sweet vermouth for some warmer drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the day sometime Saturday, I’m going to need to do a bit of work. Then the show that night. Girly-Sound<\/a><\/em> is on Apple Music, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day of rest Sunday. No idea what football will be on TV. Washington plays in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day; who knows what will be on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still have a few open days where I need to find things to write about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still need to work on what I might want for Christmas….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
