You're right, and I can't stand the thought of NOT having a Thanksgiving
Dinner, even though it will be a sad affair this year.

We went and put in our order for a fresh 10-12 pound bird today. I also
bought crab to make corn-and-crab-cakes as appetizers. There'll be no "I
don't eat fish", "I just came for the turkey", or "What the hell is
that?" at the table this year, at least.
