Such a Feast!

This correspondent derives great joy in making the Thanksgiving Feast for loved ones. In particular we like to find recipes that pay tribute to the traditional board, but with a twist:

• Beer-Brined Apple-Smoked Turkey
• Wild Rice with Turkey Stock and Raisins
• Braised Spinach with Bacon and Onion
• Cranberry-Orange Relish
• Blackberry Pie

And a nap (completely traditional).

Perro Caliente!

A Quiet Night with Tony, Silvio, and Paulie...

A quick plate of ziti with sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and parsley. Then, a plunge into the 6th Season!
