What Can I Get You Folks? - Eating Out for Thanksgiving

Still, depending on whose statistics you trust, there are at least 10 million Americans making reservations for their Thanksgiving dinners this year, which means at least that many food and beverage workers will be spending their holidays away from home too.
I generally don't mind working on holidays: The festive hubbub of a room filled with revelers is often preferable to spending the evening with squabbling relatives. And the staff camaraderie that makes the indignities of restaurant work bearable is never quite so pronounced as on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

Mashed Potatoes, Blue Cheese and Chocolate - The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in 60 Seconds

- Got milk? To make traditional mashed potatoes decadent enough for the holiday spread means one thing: heavy cream, and lots of it.
- Chocolate isn't just for dessert. Take it from the Italians and try adding the "food of the gods" to savory pastas, soups, risottos and crostini.
- Experts say the pumpkin shortage Libby's announced last week won't affect your pie this year, but next year may be a different story.
- Pungent, bold-flavored blue cheese "can help satisfy your cravings for rich, creamy foods without the guilt."
- Get out those planners -- Thanksgiving dinner is all a matter of good scheduling.

Pumpkin Pie - Feast Your Eyes

This one, from Flickr user maggiejane, is a little bit store bought, a little bit from a can and a little bit homemade. On her blog, Pithy and Cleaver, she writes that while she uses a premade frozen pie crust, the filling is canned pumpkin mixed with eggs, sugar, molasses and spices like cinnamon, ginger and clove.
Sounds to us like a little bit of work for a whole lot of Thanksgiving flavor.

Pumpkin Tamales for Thanksgiving

Tamales have been a festive food ever since the Aztecs and other early Meso-Americans served them in conjunction with their religious rituals, says Claudia Alarcon, an Austin-based writer who's kicking off the University of Texas' Foodways of Mexico speaker series this week with a talk on tamale history. While tamales aren't associated with winter holidays south of the border, Alarcon says "I'm pretty sure in every U.S. state where Mexican-Americans live, they have tamales for the holidays."

Red Lentil Soup - Feast Your Eyes
Photo: WhitneyinChicago, Flickr.
Red-lentil soup inspired my love of the brothy dish, both for its natural flavor and for its unparalleled comforting qualities -- in fact, so much so that my house has become known among friends as the "Soup Kitchen," and friends will randomly text while in the neighborhood to ask what's cooking.
I discovered red-lentil soup rather late in life, during my college years, at Sultan's Market, a small but fiercely beloved Mediterranean spot in Chicago's Wicker Park. Braving the bristly winter weather with a bowl of the soup to-go made my walk home doable, whatever obstacles the weather was throwing my way (and these usually included numbingly harsh winds).
And coming home to a spicy bowl of this stuff warmed was inevitably a body- and soul-warming experience. Although I'm fond of preserving the natural flavor of the red lentil by cooking it up in a soup with sparing ingredients (namely broth, garlic, onion and a touch of cumin), you can't go wrong with hardly any variety of the ultimate soothing concoction. Blogger Whitney in Chicago makes hers with red pepper flakes and chipotle, ups the heartiness factor with the addition of rice, and artfully tops it all off with slivered almond and zesty Feta. You should try her recipe -- I wholeheartedly back her in dubbing it a surefire "cure for darkness."
