Things have not gone as planned for feasting and family time.
Younger daughter couldn’t get home from college until late yesterday, so we planned on having our Thanksgiving dinner tonight. However, she got off the plane feeling crappy, and now has a low-grade fever and is coughing heavily. Older daughter doesn’t want to risk her newborn (my grandson) getting sick. My 83yo mom and my sister don’t want to catch anything, either, so plans for family feasting and baby-snuggling have been abandoned. It’s probably the right choice for everyone, but still a bummer.
Meanwhile, I have a turkey soaking in brine. My wife is trying to find someone to donate it to (I’ll even cook it for them). Tonight’s dinner plans are shifting to grilling some nice steaks.
