So what're you drinking for Thanksgiving? What're the kids going to drink? I'm working on it, mixing up food-friendly flavored sparkling waters. Refreshing, satisfying alternatives to wine and beer when you just don't feel like alcohol with your turkey or short ribs

A hugely flavorful, protein-laced sweet potato dish. Trade in the empty-calorie refined sugar for essential amino acids. It's Thanksgiving, not Halloween. Don't embarrass your sweet potato with a marshmallow costume.n

This is a digital wild goose chase, not a Thanksgiving recipe. Not an exercise. Just a wild story. Seems unbelievable, so you're excused if you don't believe it. But it's totally true.

Clear blue sky where all the leaves were. Just last week, if you wanted color, you looked up. Today, look down. But there is a cool thing you can do with them when it comes down it. You probably haven't done this for a while. Just Press Play for the video refresher course.

Dick Sandhaus

This started as an experiment. It turned out so well that I didn't even put maple syrup on it. Or butter. Honest. The idea was to make something like a really good breakfast pastry - but without highly refined flour and sugar. Ten minutes and a dollar later, four great slices.

It's pretty strange hiking to the top of a volcano in the dark and waiting for sunrise - so you can see where you are and where you came from. Six miles up and down at an average incline of twenty degrees. Not bad at the bottom; wicked steep at the top. The sunrise was spectacular.
