Alone For Thanksgiving

Jordan2 — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 00:59:52 GMT

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you can spend it with family and friends. For those of you like me who will be alone, know that I am thinking of you. Just because your alone you can still make yourself a fine meal. I'm making a dessert I enjoy and bought a turkey breast I'll make with a baked potato. Oh yeah I took out homemade lentil soup from the freezer. So don't feel bad for me, I'll be okay!

It sounds like a delicious Thanksgiving feast.

Sending you a Thanksgiving hug.

I'm alone and very content.

I prepared a marinade for a boneless loin of pork today and it's soaking in a zip loc bag in the fridge. I will roast that for myself tomorrow. Already prepared glazed carrots and mashed potatoes, so I can reheat the side dishes while the pork is in the oven. It's a very favorite meal and I am looking forward to it. Ice cream for dessert if I'm not too stuffed!

I'll glance at the Macy's parade on TV in the morning, and switch to watch the Dog Show after that. Probably some Netflix or a book while my dinner is cooking.

Wishing everyone a peaceful, safe Thanksgiving, and stress-free fun with family or friends. If you are alone like me, be thankful for the quiet and ease of being home taking care of yourself.

My second reply to this post. Although I'm looking forward to it, we are heading out for a 10 day cruise on Dec 5.

The downside is that I can't do any Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping as I don't want packages to be delivered while I'm away. It's definitely a first world problem.

If you shop on Amazon, get an Amazon locker and you can pick up your packages when you return. Have fun on your cruise!

Since *THIS* is the "Thanksgiving Singles - 2022" version thread,

I'll bring the "semi-yummy" Green Bean Casserole.

"Semi-yummy" because frozen green beans wont fit in my fridge freezer & have to resort to canned beans, Hope you dont mind!

My upright freezer (or electrical plug) in on the fritz, and there's NO WAY frozen green beans room in the Fridge Freezer beats "KLONDIKE BARS!" So i'll "suffer" heh

Happy Thanksgiving to you! My sister is waiting for a new brace and shoe so she not mobile and will stay home on Thanksgiving. She's going to celebrate alone. She ordered the Chinese food she loves today and some bakery goods. And wine coolers. She's looking forward to football and food.

@Jordan2 Enjoy your Thanksgiving and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Ours just got canceled a half hour ago. My daughter was having it but she and our sweet little 5 month old great-grandson have come down with RVC virus. We only live 5 minutes away so she is sending food over by way of grandson and I am sending the food I made yesterday (for today) back to them. Guess we will be napping a lot today!

Enjoy your day alone, @Jordan2. If I was alone today, I'd watch the West Wing marathon on HLN the entire 24 hours. How's that for laziness?!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Whatever you're doing this day, I hope it's fun for you.

I am alone as I've been widowed for many years. I will be volunteering at my local Salvation Army serving Thanksgiving dinner to hundreds of those less fortunate than me. I always get much more than I give.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Alone as well! Will deliver ready made Thanksgiving meals to 4 housebound seniors in the morning! After 2pm I'll have my Thanksgiving meal from a local restaurant and my favorite desert, a fruit tart. thankful for a nice, quiet day and the ability to offer a little help to others less fortunate.

Have a great Thanksgiving whether you're alone or with family!`

Yes, we have to be careful about ordering "stuff" before being away! I had to ask a neighbor to get a package off my porch recently when we were gone. There might be a limit on the time Amazon locker will hold your packages. Have a wonderful trip.

Good for all of you singles for making yourselves happy. Weather permitting, get out for a walk, wave to Neighbors, call friends, even a run to an open market can be nice. A little human contact is good.
