Thanksgiving necessities
In my column today, I talk about the things I never have enough of when I host a Thanksgiving dinner. But I forgot a few. I never have enough twine for one thing, to tie the bird's legs together so it doesn't flop all over the place while it roasts. (Some turkeys have what they call a "natural truss", a band of skin that you can utilize but some do not.) I often run out of foil to cover the bird after it browns sufficiently. And it always bothers me that I forget to buy something green like a salad or a vegetable. What with the sweet potatoes and the squash and even the turkey itself, it seems like the whole dinner is brown or orange. I'm mentioning these things because it isn't too late to get some of them if you have a last-minute shopping trip planned today. Have a good dinner, anyway. Have fun.
