Good thing you love mysteries, because Monday’s got some for you (there may even be a romantic puzzle to solve). While you may want to take a free-form, go-withthe-flow approach on Tuesday and Wednesday, a plan and a steady pace will get you further, faster. (Seek help with the plan if you need it.) Prepare for competition around Thursday and Friday. Avoid letting yourself be ambushed and consider some unusual tactics (make them an ally or kill them with kindness, for instance). It’s best not to work this weekend, but if you must, give it your total concentration or risk slip-ups.

Turkey Question

Fresh or frozen? This is really pretty easy. It depends on whether you want to save money and have a very satisfying meal that’s good but not particularly special. It’s a budget thing, but these days, that in itself is a good thing. Besides, you have to wait 2-3 days for the turkey to thaw in the tub outside and then worry that your guests or your mother-inlaw might somehow see the price tag. Now, fresh is when you want to have a special experience and everybody to feel that way. That’s priceless. Fresh turkeys are available at Tulmeadow Farm in West Simsbury and you can get one, but try their farmmade local and very special ice cream that will make everybody feel better.

Thinking LOUD Out It’s not the dishes. It’s the dishes. I know. It’s sound so negative. But anyone who has ever found themselves to be the destination for the family’s annual Thanksgiving dinner knows exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not that cooking the meal is so hard. After your first few Thanksgivings, that naked turkey isn’t particularly daunting, nor is the long, long list of favorite dishes that absolutely must be included on the menu, even though it grows every time someone new marries into the family — and even though only one person actually eats those nasty turnips and nobody understands mince pie. It’s the dishes after those dishes. There are hundreds of them. Maybe even thousands. OK, that might be an exaggeration, but all I know is this. It’s not the tryptophan in the turkey causing the coma that overtakes everyone right after dinner. It’s that fleeting peek at the kitchen everyone gets on the way to the den for a snooze.
