I think whoever said "maybe crust haters are used to store bought crusts and never had a scratch crust" might be onto something. Well-made scratch crust...OMG, nothing like it. And you KNOW that someone making a scratch crust would not waste such a labor of love on acky Sandra Lee canned filling.

I also love Thanksgiving - it's my favorite holiday, hands down. My favorite food is Mama's dressing. She bakes cornbread separately, sautes onion and celery, breaks up the cornbread and adds the vegetables, chicken broth, and some of the drippings from the turkey pan and then bakes the mixture. Since it never goes inside the turkey, it's not stuffing, but dressing, and it is yummy!
I love how everybody talks about how cozy Thanksgiving is. I absolutely agree and I love the day after, too. Turkey sandwiches on sourdough bread - yum!

1. Everyday. I have it set up in Google Reader so I just get a steady feed.
2. See #1.
3. There's a variety of types of recipes. I like the forum so that I can ask questions without feeling like a complete doofus.
4. I use cookbooks, I don't read them the same way I would read a book. I like blogs because people will usually post their process shots and step by step descriptions along with feedback or what they would/did change.
5. Great photos. I think end product pictures are great, but it's the process shots that are super helpful. I also like the product testing that sites do (SE has done it a few times, ATK and Cooks have product comparisons).

What Jerzee said and:

1) daily - some sites a couple of times a week, some several times a day

2) several times a day - probably an hour a day

3) I like the variety of points of view, the challenge to try new things, input from other countries, the interaction with others.

4) Seldom read reviews anywhere.

5) friendly conversation about things I love. This is the food site with the most engaging community that I've found. I've learned things and been able to share things I know.

i love everything about Thanksgiving... maybe because I was born on a Thanksgiving day a few years ago ;) and it marks the start of Xmas season... it's sucha happy time for me, always.

I used to love the whole menu combination. And would most look forward eating the same menu a few times via the leftovers. and even now that I am vegetarian, I think my favorite part are the sweet potatoes/yams... my mom used to make them with marshmallows on top. YUMMM.

I agree that a higher crust-to-fruit ratio is preferable with fruit pies. The filling is often too sweet and I like a good thick crust to balance it.

I emigrated from the US ten years ago, so it's been a while since I celebrated Thanksgiving. Also, we don't eat poultry (we keep chickens as pets). But a good bread, sausage and onion stuffing with an ale gravy is hard to beat. And of course mashed potatoes...I put them up there with the omelette and scrambled eggs as something every good cook should be able to do well.

Sweet potato pie, topped with pecans, brown sugar and butter, and caramelised. An apple pie with a lattice top. Broccoli baked with a sharp cheese sauce.

Okay, Traveller, you got me on this one...turkey and ketchup? Every now and then I get a craving for steak and ketchup or scrambled eggs and ketchup, but I never thought of putting turkey and ketchup together. Is it really that good?

The day after. I've got a clean house, turkey sandwiches on the menu, and the carcass is simmering in the crockpot making me hungry all over again.

EVERYTHING. It all just feels cozy. I think we should start a movement to have Thanksgiving 3 or 4 times a year. I feel like I have enough to be thankful for to spread it out over a few days.

My favorite part of the meal: my family.

Favorite dish: Um. Well, it's not the kimchi that always magically ends up between my mother and I....probably the twice baked potatoes..mmmmm

My favorite part is the stuffing. Love Love Love it. With a little bit of gravy on top its perfection
