It's just my husband and me and my 87 year old Mom. We have no other family here. My son lives too far away to come home now. We're in Ohio and he lives in Seattle so we only see him a couple times a year- usually Christmas and summer. We really miss him on holidays, and we'll talk to him on the phone for sure.
My husband doesn't cook, period. But he is fortunately an excellent dishwasher. I cook all day it seems, and he does dishes and I create more messes. Traditional menu for us, and it never varies much except for the type of cranberry sauce and type of vegetable: turkey, traditional stuffing (Always cooked in the bird), mashed potatoes and gravy, candied yams, cranberry sauce (this year blue cranberry sauce), coleslaw, and a veggie or two. Haven't decided for sure but probably peas with pearl onions. Or succotash for me and my Mom with a separate couple of servings of only the corn for my husband. He wouldn't eat a lima bean if he were starving.
There are some things I'll never be able to cook like my Mom did, and one of those is gravy. Unfortunately she can't cook any more so we're stuck with my gravy.
