Thanksgiving dinner can be as easy as pumpkin pie if you make reservations.
Instead of stressing over the perfect place settings and appetizers and turkey and ham and sides and desserts and all the things that may flit across your mind as you plan Thanksgiving dinner, whip out your mobile phone and make a reservation. Besides being a major time saver (there’s always that last minute dash to the grocery store no matter how many lists are made), it’s a great way to ensure your family and friends will have a delicious, satisfying meal without worrying about who will do the dishes.
