Still cooking for two w̶i̶l̶d̶ ̶&̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ mildly annoyed middle-aged folks in the Pennsyltucky boonz.
As I’d rather brilliantly predicted in my last weekly planning post, we are indeed hosting a poker game tonight before most of our gang is leaving town to visit their parental units. Kinda glad we’re not going anywhere & can enjoy a quiet break without travel 
Today is the final home game (halle-f’n-lujah), which can make delivery tricky — but it’s an evening game, and the team has been pretty sucky, as evidenced by the sparsely populated tailgate lots. We’ll get fed somehow, no doubt.
Tomorrow is… well, you know what 
, BUT given how many spicy meals I made over the course of this last week, I might be up for something completely different (unless we feel like finishing last night’s stir-fry). Maybe mushroom pasta & a big-ass salad? Maybe the BISO chickie boobz that have been sitting in the freezer, desperately waiting to be roasted à la grecque? With those tender & delish green beans?
Monday could be an easy cheeborger & fries night with those fab brisket burgers from Wegner’s. Easy-peasy.
Tuesday we might have my recluse friend over for that fat halibut filet, likely simply roasted and served with a beurre blanc, garlicky spinach & extra-crispy kronchy potatoes.
Wednesday is Townie night at various bars downtown & we may just be lazy and go out.
Thursday — The Biggest Day In US Cooking Households. The good news for me is that I delegated most of the cooking to my wonderful PIC, who will not only make his fabulous youvetsi, but also Biscoff ice cream for dessert 
I’ll likely contribute my shaved fennel / pomegranate / Gorgonzola salad with walnut vinaigrette & possibly fasoulakia, and our two widowed friends are bringing apps — Greek-style deviled eggs & crab dip, respectively. So happy they’ll be spending Thanksgiving with us & won’t be all alone on what can be a difficult day! 
Friday is either leftovers or takeout sushi, since our favorite sushi place gets its deliveries on Thursdays.
Saturday could be another poker game hosted by NOT us 
Thazz all I got for now. Wishing my HOs a super-duper week with happy cooking, happy eatings, and happy, conflict-free gatherings with your loved ones!
