Another Thanksgiving alternative -- ordering take-out
I've posted yesterday about gearing up for preparing the Thanksgiving meal. And there was this story about taking the Thanksgiving meal in a restaurant.
My friend Stephen from Baltimore21201 sent over this list he compiled of stores and caterers who will assemble (and usually cook) the whole meal for you.
Ah, I meant to post this last week but forgot. So, I fear it may be too late in some cases. Clip-and-save it for next year, I guess.
Has anyone here gone this route? How did it turn out?

My cousin lives in West Ocean City and does this. He gets his turkey dinner with all the fixings from the Shark. The turkey is deep-fried with the cajun butter injection and according to him, its very good.

Banksy's Cafe in Lake Falls Village, just north of Mt. Washington on Falls Road, is also offering a catered T'giving dinner. I've had their catering before, and it's good. :-)

I've seen lots of people lining up for their turkey dinners (or at least the sides and pies) at Eddie's when I've popped in for some last minute ingredient. We're more "do it yourself" cooks, and part of the joy of the day is the hours of teamwork in the kitchen. My husband wrangles the turkey (and it has to be large one), we collaborate on our own recipe for stuffing (lots of apples and a dash of Calvados to keep it moist) and I make the desserts ahead of time as a rule. Every year we tweak the dish dishes a bit. Hal Laurent has a killer oyster stuffing recipe, btw.
Blessings to all on this holiday!

Wegmans will make everything for you and all you have to do is heat it up. My brother in law did this one year. Turkey was good. Sides not the best.

The grocery store option sounds like a win-win to me.
