Re: How is Your Thanksgiving (or regular day for non-Americans)?

[(Anonymous)]

It was just my aunt (my mom's older sister), uncle, and Mom this year. My aunt insisted on buying an already cooked Thanksgiving meal and bring it over. Her reasoning was that it would be cheaper and no one would have to spend all day cooking. Mom and I have tried telling her that we don't mind cooking. Plus between sales, coupons, making stuff from scratch, and not preparing the traditional stuff that never gets eaten (like sweet potato casserole or a cheese ball dip or only buying one bottle of sparkling grape juice instead of three), it would have only been less than $30 for everything.

The food she got was very disappointing and expensive ($120 plus whatever she spent on two small pies and a mini cheesecake sampler from Walmart). The sides were in small trays- two containers would fit in a 9x13 in dish. The ham was very sweet, fatty, and tasted old. The white meat turkey tasted and smelled funny (after dinner my uncle called the restaurant to complain and they said other people were complaining; turns out the meat was a deli lunch meat chub they sliced and put in a pan with water. The green beans were from a can and just dumped into a pan (no seasonings or heating). The rolls were stale. The mashed potatoes were potato flakes and water, no butter, milk, or seasoning. The cranberry sauce was the jelly canned kind someone chopped up and put in a styrofoam container. The macaroni and cheese was overly cooked plain macaroni with cheddar cheese and what I hope was ricotta cheese just on top. The dressing was completely burned on the bottom. The yam soufflé was okay. I didn't try the dark meat turkey or potato salad.

I mean on one hand I should be thankful to even get food and on the other I think I might have gotten sick from the turkey (I was raised to eat everything you got OR ELSE...). It was just so awful though. My aunt refused to take any of the leftovers home, saying we needed the food more than she did (Mom didn't work for a few weeks after hurricane Matthew because it damaged the store she works at and it took a while to get everything fixed. She applied for disaster unemployment but still hasn't heard back. She was also in the hospital and just got out last week [emergency surgery, blockage in stomach]).

After they left, Mom added a can of cream of mushroom soup, crispy fried onions, shredded cheddar cheese, a little milk, spices, and chopped up the leftover breakfast sausage links and added it to the green beans.
