For the first time in my life I'm going to spend Thanksgiving alone; I'm in
Cincinnati and my family is in South Carolina and I won't be able to get home
to be with my family and I don't really know anybody here and have no place to
go. I'm trying to come up with supper ideas. One idea is to find a local
upscale hotel that has a Thanksgiving buffet and go there to eat. Another is
to scrap the idea of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and buying a nice steak
and some shrimp or lobster and baked potato, salad, etc. I don't really feel
like spending all day cooking if it's just for me, and I'm trying to watch my
weight and couldn't eat all the leftovers. Any other ideas would be
appreciated.

Personally I'd probably just opt to do about a 10 or 12 pound bird but
you "nixed" that idea already. If I wasn't gonna do that I'd probably go
get about a 2 1/2 poung live lobster and feast out. They don't take much
fuss to cook.
