Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Weird but true food disasters. If you have a spider aversion, you might not want to look. I don't, but the picture did make me gulp audibly.

Kathy, when is your surgery?

Not Kathy, but I'm pretty certain it's Monday the 29th.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Back from the grocery with free range fresh turkey in hand.

I think I'll make stock tonight, maybe start the savoyard pommes and throw a pie together.

I'm on my own for Thanksgiving, so I'm thinking of getting take out from the Ethiopian place -- at least on the conjecture that it will be open.

I don't know, the Thai place below me closes for every Western holiday under the sun. You might want to give them a call.

Coincidentally, my local news is doing a story on turkey fryer fires tonight. From the preview footage, some people may be attempting to fry them in napalm.

Yeah, but they taste like...victory.

I'm pretty sure that YouTube has Consumer Reports footage demonstrating just how easy it is to set one of those on fire or even better, tip them over.

If the oil gets hot enough, it will burst into flames just by taking off the lid! Fun for the whole family....

Well, it's not like you need eyebrows for Christmas.

My working theory for this Thanksgiving is that if I have enough butter and I have enough fresh herbs I can make everything taste good.

I've got chives! I've got lots of sage. I've got rosemary and thyme. I could practically sprinkle Simon and Garfunkel on my turkey.
