Best General Purpose Cookbook
Like Lyra, "How to Cook Everything" is my go-to for the basics -- I just made my first fruit crumble from it last weekend, for example, and if I want to know how to store something or how long to cook something, it's such a dependable resource.
I also like that the recipes are flexible. With most of them, Mark Bittman offers numerous riffs -- leave out this and put this in instead -- so you aren't learning a single rigid meal but an approach you can use over and over again.
Vegetarians, How Do You Do Thanksgiving?
I can't speak for everyone but for me -- I'm well aware that Thanksgiving is a turkey-centric meal, so if I'm going to someone's house I expect that I'm going to need to provide something for myself to eat as an entree if I don't want to make a meal of sides. (which are totally yummy, so that's a fine option as long as all the sides don't have meat in them)
If you're a vegan, you're probably even more accustomed to figuring out how to eat at other people's houses so I'd probably ask your brother for his preference: a meal of sides or something else, and does he want to bring that or have you provide?
I used to get squirmy when asked "aren't you going to have some turkey?" and "what are you going to eat?" but now I just smile and add more mashed potatoes and salad to my plate.

Billy's! Skip the basic chocolate or vanilla and head straight for the banana -- it is one of the most amazing desserts I've ever had, and this from someone who is so ready for the cupcake thing to be OVER.
