Granny Annie Delivers Thanksgiving to You! Do you really want to roast a turkey for two or three people? Don’t be shy. It’s OK to request a meal or more. Granny Annie returns from retirement to deliver Thanksgiving dinner for you with a little help from her friends (thank you!). All you need to do is let Granny Annie know (1) who wants dinner, for how many people and with what dietary requirements (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), (2) who wants to make pumpkin pie filling, yam casserole, green beans, or cranberry sauce – all of these should be plain classic recipes, and (3) who wants to deliver meals on Thanksgiving morning. If you are called to eat or cook or deliver, please contact Granny Annie (a/k/a Anne Perry). Don’t delay. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it.
