When is Thanksgiving dinner served in your house?

[woodsprite]

47. Thanksgiving dinner is usually at 4 or 5 pm.

This year we're totally breaking from tradition and having it at 6pm on Wednesday, and instead of fixing everything from scratch, dinner is going to be catered.

We usually have 14-17 people, but we'll just be having 4 (myself, hubby and the kids) this year. We are going to veg out on Thanksgiving day, pick at leftovers, and spend time planning our shopping strategy for Friday, which now includes a new microwave and oven, which is why dinner is being catered. Sooo, I guess we're lucky that our conservative family members backed out over the weekend. Between my pending rotator cuff surgery, my husband's fingertip reconstruction, my one SILs foot reconstruction, our microwave and oven being on the fritz, I'm thinking this break from tradition is probably a good thing. It is always entertaining when the prepper conservatives, progressives/liberals and gun-humping wiccans get together for family dinner

The restaurant will let you add quantity, but the menu is set. It still sounds like we'll have plenty of leftovers for $139 (that's to serve 5). The menu reads as 9lb boneless turkey breast, pumpkin stuffed ravioli, mashed potatoes, sun dried tomato/basil stuffing, tossed salad, steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts, gravy, pancetta/almond green beans, glazed carrots, wild rice, and vanilla bean and pumpkin gelato.

I may supplement w/ my apricot spice cranberry sauce and a pumpkin pie.
