It will come with a small roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and gravy. I even ordered a pumpkin pie. All I'll need to do is pick it up the day before and heat everything up on Thanksgiving. Way less work, I know it will be good because I've eaten food from there before, and it actually cost less than buying the ingredients to make everything myself. That means I'll get to relax, watch the parade, watch the dog show, and not have to worry about burning the turkey. I'm very excited about this.

I considered ordering the Whole Foods meal, too. There will only be the 3 of us. I don't remember why I didn't do it, but I think I will reconsider. It sounds like a winner! (We should compare our meals afterward.)
