You can't bear the thought of getting yourself to umpteen million stores to buy the goods for Big Turkey Day?
Don't want to prepare a menu? Cook?

Call in your order to the National Museum of the American Indian which is serving a delicious feast for six to eight for only $190 (plus tax).
Or, come to the museum on Thanksgiving Day and sit down at the restaurant which for years has enjoyed the best reputation for museum food anywhere in this town.

If you consider what you would spend for the Thanksgiving meal, the meal to go is a bargain, plus, it's homemade without that starchy, Styrofoam pre-made taste often found in grocery take-outs.
For every 25 meals purchased, the museum will donate a free meal to Martha's Table whose goal is to enable strong children, families, and communities through education, healthy eating, and family assists.

Call in your order for good eatins' or order online by Monday, Nov. 25 to 202-633-7044 or https://smithsonian.catertrax.com. Pick up at the Museum's Mitsitam Cafe on Wednesday, Nov. 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Now, for the menu created by Chef Freddie J. Bitsoie, one of few Native American chefs with a national reputation.
Since I tasted all these delicacies last week, I can speak truthfully about their deliciousness:
Maple-glazed roasted turkey (which comes with a thermometer)
Cornbread
Gravy
Cranberry sauce
Pumpkin and chocolate bread pudding with baked pumpkin bread, custard, and chocolate chips
and your choice of four of these sides:
Apricot, fig and pear dressing of cornbread, fruits, and spices
Buttery mashed russet potatoes
Agave braised butternut squash
Wild rice salad with carrots, pine nuts, scallions, cranberries, lemon and olive oil
Three Sisters Salad with corn, black beans, squash, parsley, lemon, and olive oil.
(If your taste buds aren't exercised after reading this, you may need a tongue treadmill which I am sure is available on the Internet. Here's an article at NIH I found.)
Ordering the meal to go will give you time to attend the Blackfeet Nation Tribal Festival this coming Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and hear the talk by Curator Cecile R. Ganteaume on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 2 p.m. about Pocahontas and "her early impact on European and American thought." (She was more than just an Indian princess! Come and learn.)
As if these weren't reasons enough to buy out, it will leave you energy to attend the Native American Heritage and Family Fun Day at the museum on Black Friday, Nov. 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
November is Native American Heritage Month and the museum honors the 6.6 million Native American and Alaska Native people living in the U.S. plus millions of other Indigenous people found in the Western Hemisphere.
