Welcome to Staying for Breakfast, Coming for Dinner's newsletter.

My my my... long time, no talkie. The autumn's been surprisingly busy - I recently got back from Italy where I cooked the wedding dinner for 35 (there will be a future newsletter on that), and realized that it's damn near Thanksgiving, and the holidays are right around the corner after that! Which means it's time to do some serious cooking.

THANKSGIVING:
Thanksgiving has to be my favorite holiday - spending the entire day cooking and watching football and the house smelling better and better each time you come inside from the cold / having a cigarette / playing a quick game of two-hand touch. And the people - everyone there to spend the day with friends and eat and eat until they can't eat anymore, and then eat some more. As a rule, I think the Thanksgiving meal should be unadulterated - stuff your turkey, roast your turkey, baste your turkey, make your sides, make your gravy, period. Nothing "fancy", you're not looking to reinvent the way turkey is meant to be interpreted. That said, if you're feeling a little adventurous and have alredy planned to venture into the world of the Turducken this year, here are a few tips. And sides, drinks, and desserts.

Turducken
Yes, that would be a TURkey stuffed with a DUck stuffed with a chiCKEN. With layers of stuffing throughout. Righteous.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Super easy, super yummy.

Old Fashioneds
The perfect Thanksgiving drink. Be sure to test out your booze to sugar ratio before passing these out. Rough job.

Apple Pie
My gramma's pie crust isn't just easy to make, it's possibly the best I've ever had.

I hope you have a great day with friends and family - Happy Thanksgiving!

COMING SOON:
In the coming weeks keep an eye out for how to pull of a Holiday Party for 25, and an Autumn Wedding Dinner in Tuscany.
