I'd really rather just skip Thanksgiving altogether - for the history aspect (killing of American Indians) as well as I don't want to be around a turkey carcass. Gah.
For the last several years, we've traveled a couple hours to retirement home where my grandmother lives; we eat in the main dining room, and while they have really good cooks there and the food is always good, I can hardly eat anything they prepare on Thanksgiving. I've been flustered a bit because I can't cook something ahead of time and take it with me, too much hassle. So I usually just eat from the salad bar, having a piece of pumpkin pie and if I get hungry later, I make a sandwich or something.
If we were doing something here at the house, I'd cook a bunch of good veggie food (though there would be a WHOLE turkey on the table, for the rest of the family, as opposed to only sliced stuff on plates at the home) and
have the picture of the turkey that I adopted from Farm Sanctuary sitting on the table.
I just want to adopt a turkey, eat stuffing and pie, and veg out in my pajamas. I don't ask for much.
