Okay so maybe this is only intensely interesting to a few. But I did Thanksgiving dinner this year. A first.

Okay so I called Whole Foods and said I need a turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans and cranberry. Friends brought pies and I opened a $100 bottle of wine.

But I brought out the good china and crystal for it. That counts for something. Anyway, as it turned out, it was a fabulous meals. And none of my friends seemed to have a prerequisite that I stand over a cutting board chopping celery to make it happen.
