This may all be off, depending on how soon we can get Brittany cured of giardia.

Bèsame*, I am dying to know what's in a 24 hour fruit salad, and also a pumpkin dumpcake (sounds easy! maybe?) Could you please post the recipes here if you have the time?

Usually for Thanksgiving, I cook a huge meal. I spend days in the kitchen cooking, hundreds of dollars on groceries, and I'm exhausted when I'm done. I'm already pretty fried, so the thought of all that work is daunting. This year is just going to be the two of us, so I ordered dinner from Whole Foods. It will come with a small roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and gravy. I even ordered a pumpkin pie. All I'll need to do is pick it up the day before and heat everything up on Thanksgiving. Way less work, I know it will be good because I've eaten food from there before, and it actually cost less than buying the ingredients to make everything myself. That means I'll get to relax, watch the parade, watch the dog show, and not have to worry about burning the turkey. I'm very excited about this.

I considered ordering the Whole Foods meal, too. There will only be the 3 of us. I don't remember why I didn't do it, but I think I will reconsider. It sounds like a winner! (We should compare our meals afterward.)
