>>> I decided to BUY Thanksgiving dinner for the first time ever. Nice little home cooking resturaunt up the road from work - good food, great service.............. Indeed, if one can buy more efficiently and effectively than to make, buy it! Yet, adequate infra-structure is a pre-requisite for outsourcing, if logistics is of essence. Not that there is anything wrong with either buy or make! Happy Thanksgiving!

Just the three of us since brothers are all being dragged to their respective in-laws today..... Since my folks live with me, and I didn't wan't mom to spend two days cooking for a thirty minute meal, I decided to BUY Thanksgiving dinner for the first time ever. Nice little home cooking resturaunt up the road from work - good food, great service, and caters for their regulars. I was supposed to pick it up on Tueday. Got there at 6 PM on schedule - not ready, "sorry, come back tomorrow." So yesterday I got there at 5:15 PM and waited for two hours in line for them to pack it. "Not ready, SORRY, give me your address and I'll deliver it in about two hours." So, off to home I go, only to find one neice in residence from out of town with her new intended and a message that two brothers and families would be at my house by noon! Should have known that they couldn't stay away from THEIR Dad on a holiday > . LOL Two hours later, no call and no food - finally gave up and went to bed. At TWO AM I got a call - its ready, we're about to leave to deliver [over an hour away!!] I went back to sleep. Guess who never showed up?! You guessed it! Called them first thing this morning, which at my house is 9:30 AM [after dogs]. "We will be leaving in about 45 minutes."
