My Inner Cranky Cook Considers a Pre-made Thanksgiving Feast

Let's just say I have been kinda busy the past few days, weeks, months--you get the picture. And aren't we all feeling a bit overwhelmed as the holidays approach? 

Saw the enticing Thanksgiving dinner ad in my weekend Target Grocery promo: "A complete Thanksgiving dinner, prepared just for you!" Sounds tempting. Ordering a complete Thanksgiving dinner makes it practically a hassle-free day, but I can't help wondering if it takes away some of the fun too. Will I miss the game of guessing if my frozen turkey will actually be thawed by the scheduled 2 p.m. oven appointment on November 27? 

Sure I don't have to bake anything, but can I give up the need to be in control and surrender to the Target meal planners? This meal is a big deal. Perhaps the biggest one of the year. Oh, I'm already feeling the pressure. Will the mashed potatoes with gravy Target provides really be creamy? Will there be enough turkey for leftovers? What exactly do ciabatta rolls taste like? Will one pie be enough for my crew?

Okay. It's obvious I haven't made up my mind. Check in later for an update. 

Puppy Madness

Oh yeah, the Shiba Inu webcam pups are getting cuter by the day. Don't ask how much time I've "wasted" watching this webcam. Just one more reason I better buy the pre-made dinner.
