What are you eating and/or cooking for Thanksgiving?

All I eat on Thanksgiving is congealed salads… aka jello molds. It’s all I actually want.

For others, I’ll be roasting a turkey with a new method I’ve been tinkering with, which I cannot yet discuss other than it’s stupid fast and amazingly tasty. Along with that I’ll be making a nice quinoa salad with roast vegetables. Oh! And sweet potato meringue pie.

Do you have any tips for readers?

Organization will set you free. And remember, coolers can keep things warm too! I usually rest my turkeys inside a cooler for an hour before carving.
