Thanksgiving is about food. Cooking and eating delicious Thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, and tasty desserts.

It’s also about peace and tranquility, a part of America’s history - and a whole lot more.

And it’s a lot of fun -

• as you pull out ancestral Thanksgiving recipes and hit the stoves and ovens, blithely unconcerned if we’re actually breaking the law!
• as you plan Thanksgiving dinner, and then survive one with our families!
• as you guzzle beer and wine, then face the consequences!

If you’re vegetarian, you’ll celebrate in a slightly different style - with maybe Tofurky and other eco-Thanksgiving recipes as your reference guides, like this or this.

Or maybe you’re looking to do something different this year?
