What is your worst Thanksgiving dinner of all time?

Me? I've had to do the Boston Market Thanksgiving dinner that they serve a time or two.

Any horror stories about going to a distant in-law or a random GF's home, and getting served liver and octopus, or some such?

sorry, no.

All traditional and family goodness here

except this one time I went to Lincoln with some Husker fans to stay the night before the Black Friday game.  2011, first Black Friday contest against the Hawks.

I did get some food at home before leaving, but then had the evening meal at Applebee's in Lincoln

there were about 12 of us at the table, many had the Turkey dinner.  Think I had a steak or something

30 years ago or so, we were "driving to grandma's house" ON Thanksgiving and pulled off at an exit around lunchtime.  We had packed some sandwiches, knowing nothing would be open.

We sit on the picnic tables outside a McDonalds or some other fast food joint, and suddenly, like 15 cars exit the highway and into the drive-thru, thinking it was open.  


Back then, nothing was open on Thanksgiving.  Now, everything that isn't a mom-and-pop joint is open, it seems.

we didn't have many options in 2011

Applebee's was the best

Not really any terrible dinners although my wife’s grandma made a dryyyy turkey.  In 02, I drove down to Georgia to help my sister move because she was having some issues in her marriage.

We spent the day before and the morning of Thanksgiving packing her stuff in a UHaul. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at the house of one of her friend’s. It was awkward. The only person I knew was my sister. But the people were nice and the food was good. After dinner we left and drove back to WV. Got in around midnight.

That was probably my worst Thanksgiving.

Got up early to put the bird in the oven and then went back to my bedroom to binge watch old Cold Case episodes until everyone else woke up.  Hubby had to work today, so we had an early dinner with us, my sister and my son who is temporarily living with us.  Then helped my sis with her computer issues; found multiple poems (she is a poet) in multiple folders - she never has figured out the difference between "save" and "save as", so her poems are all over the place on her computer, lol.  

All other family members are in South Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Texas, New Jersey, and Kentucky.  Some are on lockdown (Kentucky), some are working, etc.  My brother is dealing with his first holiday without his wife (she died from Covid last month) but seems to be holding on ok.  My uncle in New Jersey is recovery from cancer surgery.  My daughter in Kentucky last week had to put her 16 year old son in a facility for adolescents with autism, and then the lockdown happened.  He does not talk on the phone and is skittish about Skype, so I am not sure what they will do for the holiday.  Her oldest is still doing the virtual class thing (he is a freshmen engineering student at UK) so he is at least at home, along with her other kids (20, 15, and 8).  

My husband and I are just thankful that we are both ok and he returned to work last week after being off for four months or so with recovery from rotator cuff surgery.  We have been lucky we had my inheritance from my mom who passed this February to help us make it through without too much trouble. His parents and brother in South Dakota have been in constant quarantine since this all began due to his brother's chemo for skin, lung, and brain cancer; his mother's semi quarterly doctor visits from her colon cancer, and his father has Bell's palsy.  

My team has been dismal this year, too.  Did I mention 2020 has sucked beyond belief?  Keeping our fingers crossed for a better year next year.  

Everyone stay safe and enjoy the holiday.

 The first year after we got married, my mom though she would be nice and make a salmon loaf for Thanksgiving since she knew my hubby likes seafood.  We've never had it again.  Nuff said, lol.  

Almost as much fun as the year my oven blew up when the turkey was half done.  No one open to fix the oven, so I broiled it.  Worked out pretty good.

Oh, I forgot the first year I had Thanksgiving with a friend instead of family.  We were gonna fry us a turkey outside.  It was gonna be great!  I put the turkey in the oil as I light the stove.  He doesn't correct me or notice.  We eat about 8 hours later.

I had a lousy meal w in laws extended family. Not worth reliving the details.  About half way home with my FIL MIL and wife, a two hour drive,  I decide to pull off the scab.  'Admit it, that was the worst Thanksgiving dinner any of us have ever had.,'   my FIL started laughing.   Yes!  It sucked.  

The thing was, it wasn't mailed in, it was an earnest effort, everything was lousy, no getting around it.

Salmon loaf? I like salmon well enough but a salmon loaf just doesn’t sound appealing.
