Thanksgiving 2020 - A Report

Published December 4, 2020

First, lets start with being thankful for making it this far through 2020.

Second, presenting “Thanksgiving Dinner” as a take-out experience worked very well. We had it at lunch time in the covered patio with a propane heater and everyone was very comfortable.

We started with salad which included dressing on ths side and delivery of the cranberry sauce cup.

After came out the dinner box of turkey, brussels sprouts, slow cooker mashed potatoes and slow cooker lasagna. I forgot to photograph this before I started eating so presume portions were a little larger…

Desserts were packed as individual finger foods. Boxes made it really convenient to pre-load the boxes and keep them in the refrigerator until it was dessert time.

On the menu were caramel Pots Du Creme, lemon bars, and pumpkin bars.

We’ll be doing something similar for Christmas. I really appreciate the flexibilty of this method. Built in is the idea that if someone can’t make it for a variety of reasons or we decide we should not assemble at all, the dinner/lunch is very easily delivered in a bag of boxes or picked up “curb-side”.

I love it when a plan comes together.
