What meals can I make for Thanksgiving this year since I'm going to be alone. All that I have is a microwave. I thought about making a turkey sandwich with a slice of cranberry jelly on it and maybe buying a pie from the store.

My local grocery store used to carry a brand of pies that were really good and for a good price. Then they switched brands to another that is so sweet that I can't eat them at all.

However, the Marie Callender frozen pies are great if they are available. I like either the Chocolate Satin or the Lemon Meringue.

When I was alone on Thanksgiving I would volunteer at a non-denominational soup kitchen and have Thanksgiving food with other volunteers. I don't need fire and brimstone sermoning this time of year. Years later sometimes our families get together for Christmas or Thanksgiving. We usually have small groups of three to fiveeach so it works out nice.

I didn't make it to the family Thanksgiving Dinner. We had snow overnight and so I assume the highways are slick. With the vertigo I've had the last few days, I didn't want to drive on slick highways. In the 45 miles there and back, I would typically see two to three other cars each way so if I slid off of the road, it might be a while before someone came along. Cell service at some points along the way is really spotty, too, in the canyons.

So I'm getting ready to fix my Thanksgiving dinner. I have smoked turkey breast in the refrigerator. Dinner will consist of mashed potatoes, field peas with pieces of ham and onions in them, sliced smoked turkey heated in the oven, and brown and serve rolls with butter.

While that cooks (the field peas take about 45 minutes to an hour) I'll make some chocolate pudding to eat an hour or two after my meal. (I rarely eat dessert immediately after a meal.)

i had a Thanksgiving style Turkey Sandwich from Von's grocery store once. From the inside deli where they make it when you order it. still remember it being very good. turkey breast sliced thin, not from a package. cranberry sauce, a little bit of cream cheese spread on the bread. man, that was good. don't buy the hype about big family dinners. I've had those but i don't remember them like this sandwich I got that one afternoon. wow.

I used to work at a Safeway, which is the same things as Von's and I used to make those turkey cranberry sandwiches all the time.

I don't work there anymore and went back the other day and some old lady made it but told me they didn't have lettuce cause of the "recall". It was still pretty good but the ones I made were way better.
