Let's give thanks to the folks who open their homes to host all the relatives and even some orphan friends. Let's toast the ones who get up at the crack of dawn to get the bird in the oven early, roll up their sleeves, bake up a storm, stuff and stir and produce a meal that gets rave reviews and a ton of oohs and ahhs from the whole fam.
Next, we lift our glasses and offer a Lansing takeout list for the folks who just love the holidays but want to avoid the mess and clean-up, the family drama about who brings what dish, the overcooked or undercooked meal or the unexpected kitchen fiasco. This is for those who still want to host a delicious meal and then head to the couch to enjoy the game. Cheers. We're thankful for all and wish you nothing but a delectable Thanksgiving Day.
