Piles of sage at whole foods mid day today - both loose bundles and the little plastic boxes of fresh herbs.

Thanks! Will try tonight!

I'd probably send DH out to get a last minute pie because I love pie on Thanksgiving, and maybe some sparking cider for a festive touch, but otherwise would just cook up some mashed potatoes, one veggie dish, turkey, and some cranberry bread.

Last year, I initially had trouble finding any fresh (i.e., non-frozen) turkeys the day before Thanksgiving, but later saw hundreds at Whole Foods, along with anything else I could need.

What also helped was a random stranger at Trader Joes who saw me struggling with a cart, two kids, and a pregnant belly in the rain today and without even asking, loaded all my groceries into the car while I strapped in my kids and then said he'd return the cart for me.

This was really sweet.

It must be the season. I was struggling at the food court with several trays of food and two kids by myself, and a gentleman with a lot of bling on helped me to my table. That was so great.

At the Whole Foods in Arlington they had some kind of planter thing by the front door that was "Thanksgiving in a planter" It had all the herbs, including sage. Looked kind of cute. (there is a slim chance it was the TJ's in Clarendon, as I did both of them on Saturday afternoon, but I'm reasonably sure it was Whole Foods).
