Home For the Holidays

11/20/09 

With Thanksgiving next week and my pregnancy pushing into the “it could happen any time now” period, I’ve decided to give up my normal holiday travel plans—meeting up with family in Sacramento—to ensure no chance of delivery along the expansive, desolate strip of Interstate 5. 

Instead, energy permitting, I’ll cook up the Bryant Terry meal VT featured in the Nov/Dec issue (“Soul Celebration,” p. 58). Just when I thought there was no way we could top last year’s holiday recipes, we managed to do it. And to attest it its greatness, every time I read the article during proofing my stomach would start to growl. Check it out and cook up some of the recipes if you have time. You won’t be disappointed.
