Thanksgiving 2015

When President Obama pardoned two turkeys named "Honest" and "Abe" this Thanksgiving, most Americans understood the reference to Abraham Lincoln.

Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks. But this is the Internet, so let's be a little bit bitter for a moment before returning the the spirit of the season.

Turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, cornbread, pumpkin, pecan and sweet potato pies... Think Thanksgiving and these are the images that come to mind.

If your holiday plans include friends or relatives from the millennial generation, odds are high that you might find a few less-than-traditional dishes on the Turkey Day menu: A recent Yahoo Food survey of more than 1,000 Americans age 18 and older showed that 20- and 30-somethings are driving a Thanksgiving dinner (r)evolution.

Omnivorously speaking, your standard post-Thanksgiving sandwich is just about perfect: lean turkey, moist and herby stuffing, tart-sweet cranberry sauce. But your appetite for that flavor combo might just tail off before your leftovers are depleted.

The anxiety that swirls 'round the Thanksgiving meal has puzzled me. Most of the dishes can, in fact, be made well in advance, and fine renditions of all of them can be picked up at any number of local outlets.

Hello, my name is Louisa, and I am a procrastinator. Especially about big, fancy things like making a Thanksgiving feast for 20 of my nearest and dearest.

Growing up as the first-generation child of Trinidadian and Iranian immigrants, Thanksgiving is my annual chance to be "truly American." But it is also a battle between me and parents, whom I wanted to serve only "white peoples food."

It's the morning after Thanksgiving. Bleary-eyed you stumble to the refrigerator to get some milk for your first cup of coffee.

Forever stored in my bank of taste memories, I have looked forward to them every Thanksgiving since my first forkful of the packaged stuffing of my youth.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many of us are thinking of menus, making shopping lists and planning table arrangements.
