A Favorite Thanksgiving Memory
Posted By : Rona Gura

My family had an interesting conversation over the Thanksgiving table. We each recounted our favorite childhood Thanksgiving memory. I tried to relay a memory from when my children were young. But my now adult children called me out on that and asked me to recount a Thanksgiving memory from when I was a child.  It was, actually, an easy memory to t

No matter what

I’m all in when it comes to smoking ducks and frying turkeys—it’s my thing. But I have to tell you it wasn’t easy this year. The weather was cold and wet.

It's All About the Sides
Posted By : Rona Gura

For me, Thanksgiving is all about the side dishes. It’s also about the frame of the turkey but that’s a blog for another day.   We generally host Thanksgiving and serve “traditional” side dishes. For us, that includes sweet potato casserole, with the melted marshmallows, a string bean casserole, with the Durkee fried onions, my husband's stuffing w

Closure
Posted By : Corey Bearak

It was that time again. Cannot ignore it. Cannot avoid it.
