Default Moi? Thinking of Thanksgiving?

I don't much like the holidays. Invariably they lead to a lot of stress.
Besides that, I don't like turkey and ham isn't top on my list. But I think
I'm going to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year (for myself - my LLL will
have to spend it with his mom at her nursing home).

I was at the store to pick up a few things. Wandered past where they have
the frozen turkeys, capons, cornish hens. There I discovered frozen deboned
chicken, already seasoned and stuffed with Boudin (a Cajun spicy pork & rice
sausage). Okay! I bought one (I realize I could stuff this myself but
I'm not anxious to try to debone a whole chicken.)

It weighs 3 lbs. I figure I'll roast this sausage-stuffed chicken, maybe
bake a acorn squash alongside or steam broccoli or some other veggie. I'll
bake some cornbread earlier in the day. Hopefully I'll have some nice
leftovers. I'll get a nice wine to go with - Pinot Grigio maybe.

In case anyone cares, the brand is Destin Ice Markets. (Their web site is
apparently new because there's a lot missing, links that lead to nothing,
images blank.) I hope this doesn't bode ill for the chicken But if it's
bad, there's only myself to displease. Won't have to listen to any bitching
but my own.
