Where Does Your Thanksgiving Loyalty Lie?

Is there an option to say all of them? I love the turkey, the sides, and the pie!

Today I'm craving pie so I'd have to go with the Ginger Custard Pumpkin pie. That just sounds so good.

I'm totally craving turkey today so I have to pick Bittman's 45 Minute Turkey...I'm intrigued by the quick cooking time!

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'

Roasted chicken (roasted atop a bed of root vegetables) and a salad or maybe some pilaf. Delicious!

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'

Besides Serious Eats, I like reading "Thus Bakes Zarathustra". And about a hundred more, including PWC!

I read so many food blogs and get so many great ideas and then my friends think I'm some sort of culinary genius. Thank you, food bloggers!

Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking

Pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce. Or just about anything with pumpkin or squash in it - I'm a sucker for squash!

Do You Have a Favorite Frozen Apple Pie?

If you go to Apple Hill above Sacramento, Bodhaine Ranch makes delicious take and bake frozen pies. Or they used to - I haven't been there for years. Of course, that doesn't help with the taste test.

Gadgets: The Apple Peeler/Corer

Unlike other commenters, I have one of these and after trying it a few time, decided I hate using it. I'm going to have to give it away.

If your apples are slightly bumpy or misshaped, it doesn't work well. Adjusting the wingnut to change how much peel is coming off is harder to do than you would think. The suction cup on mine has never satisfactorily attached to any surface I've used. The metal parts started rusting after the first use.

The last time I used it, I decided a paring knife would have taken me about half the time. Good riddance!

Serious Eats Is Bringing Hot Doug's to NYC October 7

I moved away from Chicago in January and still dream of the yummy goodness at Hot Doug's. I'm sure everyone who gets to go to this will have an enjoyable time!

(I also miss Smoque and Kuma's Corner. If any of these places want to do an event in SF, that would be fantastic!)

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'

I love how bacon inspires me. For instance, I was in the middle of doing something at work and all of a sudden the thought of bacon shortbread cookies popped into my head. Mmm, I thought, I'm going to have to try making those!

I've always said I'd love to wear a bacon fragrance. Will someone please develop that?

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'

Gale Gand's mini peanut butter cookies at Tru in Chicago. They're part of the pre-dessert dessert cart (oh, the extravagance - dessert before dessert) and they are delicious. I've been lucky enough to eat at Tru a handful of times and the mini peanut butter cookies were there the first time...but not always there the other times, which was always disappointing.

Video: Hotel Survival with George Egg: How to Cook a Meal in Your Hotel Room

That reminds me of a meal I cooked in my college dorm room using a hot plate and a coffee maker. Peas cook marvelously in the carafe of a coffee maker!

Acorn squash stuffed with wild rice and mushrooms...mmmm.

Kuma's Corner: A Chicago Burger Even Upton Sinclair Would Love

I moved away from Chicago in January and wish that Kuma's would open a location here in California. I'm partial to the Kuma's burger as well as the Led Zepplin. Mmmm.

@Bhdancegirl - Hot Doug's and Smoque are the other places I miss from Chicago! Yummy.

Tony's Pizza Napoletana: Pizza Paradise in SF

I was lucky enough to eat there on the 4th of July. Everything we had was fantastic! I will absolutely go back there again, no hesitation.

Snapshots from Greece: Fage Yogurt

Fage + a little bit of pumpkin butter = immediate gratification version of pumpkin cheesecake. Use Fage 0% and it's like non-fat cheesecake. Sooooo yummy.

My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers

My first experience with WC was at a drive-through. The driver assured me the burgers were extra-fantastic and ordered a huge bag of them. The smell of all those stinky burgers in the car immediately turned off my appetite.

Years later I was with someone else and grudgingly accompanied them to WC. The chicken sandwich I ate wasn't horrible but it certainly wasn't good.

Sweet Surprise: The Sugar In Iced Coffee From Starbucks

I like my coffee with sugar, so I'm okay with the syrup - adding regular sugar to cold coffee only results in the sugar settling to the bottom like sand. Though I do ask for it only lightly sweetened because the "official" amount of syrup is too much.

I hate, hate, hate, hot coffee being poured over ice cubes, unless those ice cubes are also made of coffee.

Should Fast Food Chains Give Kids Toys?

Having previously worked for a marketing company that designed Happy Meal toys for McDonalds, I can tell you that the toys weren't only designed to appeal to kids...they were also designed to appeal to adults with the "collector" mentality. Those adults may or may not have had children.

I can also say that it was part of my job to go to other restaurants, like Burger King, to procure sets of toys they were offering so we could study the competition. Sometimes the restaurants would sell the toys to me without the meal but other times there were burgers aplenty around the office. We threw lots of them away.

But back to the kids - I think the toys train them to be consumers but not necessarily of the accompanying fast food. I've seen too many uneaten Happy Meals. Commercials for any type of toy train kids to be consumers.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'

Bodhaine Ranch's fabulous apple pies. I make a good apple pie but theirs are absolutely fabulous!

Actually, that's probably tied with pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce...

Great, now I'm hungry.

I love seeing turkey alternatives. While I will most definitely roast a turkey this year (and pretty much follow the Classic Menu), my vegetarian guests will also get to enjoy Spaghetti Squash with Ricotta, Sage, and Pine Nuts.
