WILMINGTON — Made plans yet for Thanksgiving? Perhaps a small gathering with family — or just ordering dinner out with your spouse? Watching football all day on the couch or volunteering at a local food bank?
Whatever your plans for Nov. 26, a couple of reads below — which you may have missed over the last few weeks — could help inform your decisions. Or at the very least, they’ll entertain and/or inspire you.

Another round, please!
