Mr. Cruise and I will be hosting Thanksgiving at our apartment in Seattle for the first time ever this year – we’ll have family joining us from Salt Lake City, Boston, and New York. But, I fear I’m going to be a bit of a disgruntled host. Not because I’ll have to cook (we’ve already placed an order for an authentic, home-cooked Thanksgiving feast from…QVC) or clean (I mean, we put “join us at our pig pen for a trough filled with Quality, Value, and Convenience” right on the invitation), but because I won’t be on a Princess cruise enjoying the special Thanksgiving menu.
My media relations contact at Princess must not have approved of my prior few reviews, because she sent me this Thanksgiving menu KNOWING I wouldn’t be able to partake of it. But being a cruise educator and all, I’m obligated to pass along complete and accurate information, even if it makes me uncomfortable. So, for all you jerks out there lucky enough to be cruising on Princess over Thanksgiving, here’s your special dinner menu:
For the sake of my family, for whom I will pretend to be thankful for even though I’d ditch them in a second for any Princess ship, please don’t send me any photos (“Why is Sarah in the bathroom crying over her sellevision pumpkin pie?”). And with that…
Class Dismissed!
Homework (10 points): Share what you’d order from this menu to the comments.
