Do You Do a Thanksgiving Dress-Rehearsal?
Can you tell that we're getting giddy about Thanksgiving around here? Fried turkeys and sides galore! I'm so excited that I've decided not going to wait until November 25. For the past few years, we've held a "Fakesgiving" celebration with friends in early November. It's a chance to share a meal together before we all split up to mark the real holiday with our families, and an opportunity to do a dry-run with new recipes and vet them for the real thing.

I have a confession to make: I'm a Thanksgiving stuffing fanatic. I love the stuff: with turkey, with gravy, on a giant plate all by itself. Filled with nuggets of mushrooms or apples (or both), savory with meaty bits, nuts, sage and thyme—sometimes even cooked with a splash of sake. (Don't knock it till you've tried it.) Stuffing is by far my favorite of the Thanksgiving leftovers, so I sometimes even make a batch in advance of the holiday, just for practice.Thanksgiving Sides: Sweet Potatoes
Some of you probably grew up with marshmallow-topped sweet potato casseroles, or yams candied with brown sugar. But why not add a new sweet potato dish to this year's Thanksgiving spread? These are looking mighty fine to me.10 Steps to Getting a Thanksgiving Invitation
