I hate cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

By the time I'm done, exhausted and sweaty, I'm not even hungry anymore. I want somebody else to cook this year. (Put plenty of mushrooms in the stuffing, please).

1. run away

change your name (Yarnhead Bugar is good), never look back.

That's my best advice.

2. That isn't a bad idea.

But I think John Smith would work better. That way, Jane Smith would do the cooking.

3. we usually just have munchies, since there's just two of us we skip the meal

but this year I'm cooking the turkey and dressing for a pot luck

it's in the oven now so I don't have to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow
