Glenn,
I taking bets that you won't' make it thru Christmas!!

You sound as if you are weakening.
Dahlek, no eastern food in this house. I can't eat any spices, the tongue is too cracked. Cracked equals sore and very painful. But I can make (thanks to the deli area of walmart) a hummus spread. Thanks for reminding me.
Grilling outside for the "bobs" in this weather is impossible and they are too hard to eat on a lap tray. Indian restrurants in rural Texas??!!

We have a Walmart, a Brookshires, a small boutique store, JC Pennys, well you got the idea. We have an "a" of each variety of store. Not much shopping done here. Everyone drives into Dallas for the big shopping even tho it is a long drive.
But back to Thanksgiving. I'm really thankful for the one I had. Let's change this thread over to Hannukah for our Jewish Friends. I"ll post a new thread for it.
