Plan ahead for Thanksgiving
Squash soup with bacon optional.
It certainly feels much more traditional to cook a huge Thanksgiving feast for your family and friends, but after all the time we’ve spent in our kitchens during the Covid lockdown, eating out or ordering in for Thanksgiving might be the way to go this year. Think of it this way: not only is it a whole lot easier, it’s a great way to support and keep our favorite island restaurants going.
