We don’t have family or friends in Fort Myers, so it was going to be a quiet Thanksgiving, regardless.\u00a0 Jett doesn’t use the RV oven – she doesn’t like that it has to be manually lit and seems to think that she will blow up the RV if she attempts it.\u00a0 So if we were going to cook Thanksgiving dinner ourselves it was going to be something that fit in a toaster oven or a microwave.\u00a0 Not very appealing.<\/p>\n
Going out would be a hassle as most restaurants that choose to stay open are packed solid.\u00a0 This is probably true everywhere, but even more so in Florida, with its incoming flock of snowbirds.<\/p>\n
The takeout option is usually pretty limited.\u00a0 As good as a Quarter Pounder with Cheese can be, it just doesn’t cut it on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
But Cracker Barrel offers a takeout Thanksgiving feast that serves 4 to 6 for just $56:<\/p>\n
We chose mashed potatoes (with gravy, of course), mac and cheese and cooked apples for our veggies.\u00a0 I added in an apple pie to complete the meal, picked it up at 1pm on Thanksgiving Day (nicely packed in a box with a handle) and brought it home.\u00a0 We then sat down for a sumptuous meal, still hot and very tasty.<\/p>\n
That’s how to do Thanksgiving dinner in an RV!<\/p>\n
I only wish I had gotten a picture of it after Jett laid it all out.\u00a0 It was an impressive amount of food.<\/p>\n
BTW, it was a cool day in Fort Myers – only(!) 70 degrees.<\/p>\n
I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as we enjoyed ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
