A different kind of Turkey Day

We (mom-in-law, hubby, me) decided today that rather than a) cook all day tomorrow for just the three of us or b) deal with the crowds going out, we would go out tonight. Wednesdays are seafood night at the Gathering of Nations buffet at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. We all love seafood, but here in the mountains, you don't find a lot of it, at least not anything really good like you find on the coast. We have not tried this particular buffet before, so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Tomorrow, instead of a big turkey dinner, I am fixing brunch--Southwestern Eggs Benedict with fresh fruit, coffee and juices. I made polenta today (or as we call it down south, cornmeal mush) and it is chilling in the fridge. The rest of the day, we will just stay home and if we get really hungry, snack on leftover pork roast. No turkey this year, though we may stick one in the freezer while they are on sale. With the hectic schedule the hubby and I seem to be keeping lately, a lazy day at home will be the biggest treat of all.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
