Spicing Up the Thanksgiving Menu
Most families have very definite ideas about the
Thanksgiving meal. Other than the grand roasted turkey in the center of
the table, they expect very specific side dishes and garnishes. When it
comes to dessert, they are apt to cry foul if there's anything other
than pumpkin or pecan pie. For the home cook, this can be tedious, year in and year out. As our
culinary skills expand, we ache to try a few new dishes, particularly
since this may be the one elaborate meal we cook all year!

their own children.
