About what? That restaurant doesn't have all-you-can-eat buffets? I suppose if there is a menu, that should be obvious.

I took the folks to my brother's house yesterday for Thanksgiving and after the debacle which will only be discussed within the extended family, I had did a ham and macaroni and cheese for them tonight and gave them half a sweet potato. My niece and nephew don't like any Thanksgiving food but for rolls. It was so sad.



EDIT: I'll spill the tea.

My niece and nephew (14 and 9) apparently don't like any Thanksgiving food.

because:
1- The kids dislike most Thanksgiving food.
2- The Mac and Cheese was from Wawa.
3- The turkey was just an air fried bone in breast.
4- No cornbread stuffing.
5- The only true vegetable was carrots (I count potatoes as a starch. The potatoes were boiled and pressed but not mashed as the kids don't like potatoes).
6- Before/after the meal, there was little conversation with Mom. The nephew was in iPad, niece took a nap(a), my brother was more into watching football and my SIL was moaning in pain from her July knee surgery when not in their bedroom.

At least we brought four desserts, which they quickly broke into after the meal. UGH.

I can SO relate! LOL. In the past, that is.

Thanksgiving leftovers supper, with minor adjustments:

salad bar with 3 dressings & nut toppings including candied walnuts
turkey
stuffing
sweet potatoes with Marshmallows
WF brioche buns & Irish butter
gravy
mac & cheese
cranberry options (3)
reheated vegetables (3)

I also chilled salad forks that needed more time in the fridge


but most important is that as a guest, the food & lifestyle issues in that house are nobody else’s responsibility. Great job helping with the parents as always.

Mostly meat

Sushi and sashimi platter from Nagoya in Lawrence. Had to use up some Amex Uber credits, though I picked it up to avoid paying a delivery fee, etc.

Are you talking about the guys or the food?

Yes, yummy😋

Thanksgiving leftovers - I’ll definitely have to freeze up turkey stuff. We barely ate half the stuffing & sweet potatoes that I cooked. Super yummy.

Some assorted dinners since I�ve been visiting family (and driving around alone to decompress):

Chicken quesadillas at Chuy�s:



Beef fajita quesadillas at Flores:



Thanksgiving Mac and cheese made by Mother - the extent of my Thanksgiving meal:



Beautiful birthday cheesecake with chocolate ganache by Mother:

Turkey, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce on Arizmendi seeded baguette

I really love my Costco turkey and I had a second sandwich.
