last minute thanksgiving help
Meuwly’s (10706 124 Street, 587-786-3560, meuwlys.com) comes to the rescue with smoked honey ham (boneless, large ham serves 8-10, with honey mustard, $89; or a small ham, serves 2-4, $39) and a really delish smoked turkey (½ turkey, with gluten-free gravy, citrus with ginger cranberry sauce, serves 6-8, $89). Try to call ahead but, if not, they may have some hams and turkeys for sale Saturday until 7pm and Sunday until 3pm. Both the ham and turkey are fully cooked, you just need to heat. If you are charged with the appetizer, be a rock star and order one of Meuwly’s charcuterie platters (salami, deli and cured meats, pâté, etc, for 8-10 people, $60). They do need a day’s notice for the charcuterie. We give thanks for Meuwly’s.
