Recipes aren't really my beat, but this year I invented a sandwich. I call it the "Turkey Sandwich We Can Believe In," or "The Obama" for short. Not because of any metaphor having to do with the ingredients, but because I invented this on election night.
A huge feast was planned for the day, including masala turkey, spicy Indian vegetable filling, and traditional Indian potatoes on the side. Dessert was apple pies and a traditional Indian dessert.
In light of the tremendous challenges facing our country, I am grateful for a government big enough to help us weather the financial storm.
Ten years ago this week Japan stunned the world with what was then an unprecedented $195 billion stimulus package. Just in time for Thanksgiving, Japan had discovered the virtue of gluttony!
This year, if you really want to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to challenge you to enjoy feasting on what is fresh and local.
Even if you overeat at Thanksgiving, what you do on that one day will not determine your weight a year from now. It is what you do on average, over time, that determines what you weigh.
Like Tom Joad returning to his home only to find his family gone and the house half covered by the encroaching rows of cotton, each of us this Thanksgiving will find something at home that we did not expect.
Previously the realm of fundamentalists, bringing a higher power into dieting has gone mainstream. Today, it's not only Christians who see fat as a spiritual issue.
Thursday promises the same humdrum cavalcade of Thanksgiving foods for all: turkey, stuffing, cranberries, yams and pumpkin pie. But what really belongs on the menu of these notables this year?
There are the things you make for the very first time in order to prove that you're neither your mother nor a hopeless prisoner of your own hidebound traditions. We want to know about those things.
I recently made my first sweet potato pie for a friend's birthday (and also as a subtle nod to Obama's reported declaration that it is his favorite pie).
(cross-post from La Marguerite blog) One casual comment made by a girlfriend during a recent dinner at my house, got me thinking, deep, about women, ...
The average American will consume 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat this Thanksgiving. That's as many calories as 5.5 McDonald's Big Mac hamburgers or 15 Supremes from Taco Bell.
Two new government studies, published within days of each other, point to disturbing health hazards of genetically modified foods.
Chef and restaurateur Marco Canora can now add a Michelin star to his dazzling resume. Here, he talks about his earning a business degree, soffritto, and giving thanks for Obama.

Guess I have to read "the whole story" to find out what "work" means in this respect.
Gonna do that now.
IT is good to see that he has done this.
Three years is good but not great. My wife, a naturopathic physician, and I have been all organic for over 10 years. It is neither more expensive nor hard to find and I live in the backwoods of rural minnesota, not NYC.
I liked the trick of looking for bar codes on food that start with a 9 to identify organic. That is a neat idea. I wish the doc luck in keeping up the all organic.
It is the only way to go. If you compare safety of organics versus conventional, which has to use anti fungal/bacterial sprays and irradiation just to make their food safe there is no comparison.
Don't panic, just eat organic.
In the future Soylent Green will be made of organic people?
I'm sure organic is better - but cutting back on meat probably improved his health, too -- lightens the load on the digestive tract.
Nice to see a doctor who's willing to do his homework!
