[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would indulge this and go all out.

Get tons of Chinese food.

Go to the store tomorrow and get edamame, Fly by Jing sauces (Whole Foods), chili crisp, fortune cookies, maybe stop by a Chinese bakery. Go to World Market and get Chinese drinks. H-mart snacks. Have fun with it! It'll be 2 hours or errands for less work in the kitchen.

Make a green bean casserole with chow mien noodles and friend onions.

If your family, like mine, would be "sad" at no turkey, don't tell them. if they bring sides, put them in the mix, too. And then do it for Christmas if you must.

The whole point of ordering Chinese is to avoid all sort of work, running to 3 different stores and cooking casseroles defeats the whole purpose “take out”[/quote]

As long as OP is the one doing the shopping and cooking, DH can eat his Chinese food and stay out of it. I get that he doesn’t want to cook, but it’s unreasonable of him to demand that everyone else be content with Chinese food on Thanksgiving, too. He can have that, OP can buy a few rotisserie chicken and make a few sides. Best of both worlds. Guests can help clean up. If DH can’t manage to be pleased with that, then he can take his Chinese food and eat in the bedroom and stay there until people have departed. [/quote]
