Our Thanksgiving plans have been radically downsized due to the continuing illness of
laurellady and
madelineusher.
laurellady was quite prepared to forge ahead with a full day of pie-baking followed by a two-hour drive, stressful time with relatives, and another two-hour drive home; I had to point out rather forcefully that she was (a) coughing her lungs out, (b) not keeping food down, and (c) having trouble walking before she finally (and grumpily) agreed to fall back to Plan B. She's a little bit stubborn the way the Pacific Ocean is a little bit damp.
So instead we're going to hit up our favorite neighborhood restaurant for their excellent Thanksgiving special, a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. We did this a couple of years ago when a similar plague beset the household, and it worked out very nicely. The only real downside is a lack of leftovers.
Turning our attention from turkeys to other large, noble birds, my result from the "Egyptian astrology" meme that's going around is behind the cut. I can't say I'm shocked.
