>Thanksgiving is always easy, head cold or no. It is the greatest American holiday and my favorite. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

My favorite, too, but not easy. I've been making Thanksgiving dinner every year for nearly 30 years. I always try to make a few changes to the menu, and try some new stuff.

I'll be headed to the kitchen very soon to start baking (and to make cranberry sauce). Tomorrow is for the main meal, mostly--stuffing, then turkey, then sweet potato casserole (trying a new recipe), then any other prep. If all goes well, I'll have 2 or 3 hours to relax mid-day before people start to arrive.
