Alternative Ways to Prepare the Thanksgiving Dinner |
|
Happy Thanksgiving! You've invited a dozen guests and they're all expecting to eat. You know that you don't want to spend the whole holiday in the kitchen, so what are you going to do? Get up at 3 am to put a turkey in the oven? No. How about buying a precooked turkey this year or even purchasing deli sliced turkey and cheese for a sandwich buffet? That way your guests can eat while they mingle, you won't be in the kitchen while everyone's talking and there won't be a bunch of dishes to clean up.
Most Thanksgiving parties involve a lot of people, your relatives, and his relatives, some who don't get along; all trying to cram in at the dinner table in a house that suddenly feels too small. When things are like this it may be time to hold your party outside. You can easily hold a party at a park this time of year in the warmer climes. Or if you happen to live in a cold part of the country then invite people to join you at a restaurant or rent a dining hall in your area with lots of space. Do the cooking at home the day before and just head on over.
For those of you who like to take on new things this time of year may be a good time to introduce the family to a new way of eating. It may simply be eating healthier that you want to stress with less starches and more fruits and veggies on the table. Or you can really take a risk and cook a tofu turkey. Your guests may love it. They may also hate it and some not even notice.
From symbolic items to fun trinkets, party favors help the spirit of sharing and togetherness last long past the pumpkin pie. You can display your favors in front of each plate. Children love small trinkets they can take home as their very own. Naturally, party favors for adults are more sophisticated than those for children, and they are less frequently edible. A few ideas for adult’ party favors may include: scented candles in vanilla, pumpkin, cookie, and other holiday aromas personalized thank-you notes with initials or monograms to make giving thanks easier.
