My Thanksgiving dinner yesterday
 
Just me yesterday so I debated making the traditional works. I
almost didn't but then decided "why not" do it and enjoy
leftovers?

One nice thing about Thanksgiving without a wife or any company
is that all choices are mine completely. No arguments, no holiday
conflict. Gary thinks, "I think I'll do this." Then Gary thinks,
"Heck, that sounds fine to me, Gary." LOL ;)

(Note: Gary might be starting to lose it here.) ;)

So anyway I did have the traditional dinner but instead of
sitting at the boring table , I took it all into the living room
and ate while watching a football game (Dallas vs Washington).
It's actually the perfect meal for a football game.

I had stuffing, turkey, gravy and cranberries. Pumpkin pie for
dessert. YUM!

I do have leftovers too so I think I'll save that until Sunday
football games. Hopefully the Patriots will be playing that day.

I even have a pic of my meal for you:

One nice thing about Thanksgiving with a compatible mate is that
all choices are ours completely. No arguments, no holiday conflict.

We eat all of our meals in the living room. Neither of us likes
sports, so we watched... I can't remember. Some movie on cable,
I'm sure. After dinner we watched our DVR'd NCIS New Orleans and
then The Rookie.

Very nice, this is basically what I did. Wednesday I volunteered at a T-Day dinner, so I was all tuckered out. Despite several invites I dined in splendid isolation, my vittles were similar to yours but I had a pork roast in lieu of turkey, and PECAN pie, natch...

I got a lot of my online holiday shopping outta the way early, then food, and then I watched some movies, the original 1953 "War of the Worlds" and the classic Dickens "Great Expectations" (the SPLENDID 1946 David Lean version)...a nap and then watched "Laura" and "The Long Hot Summer"...

Today I'll run around and see some peeps, and this weekend I've an invite to a dinner, so this has been a fine holiday for me...and leftovers to last the weekend.

When you're with someone you know well, there are no conflicts as to what to
have etc. That being said, I love your link, how funny. P.S. the Cowboy game
was good, but wasn't that game between the Rams and KC on Thursday night
something, if you watched it. Also, the Pats play the Jets on Sunday, I
believe it's one o clock Eastern.
