Happy pre-Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Americans!
Firstly, if you're in charge of making the turkey, make sure it's thawing! :)
Secondly, if you're an NPR listener, you might want to check to see if you can catch Lynne Rossetto Kaspar and her producer, Sally Swift, doing their "The Splendid Table: Turkey Confidential" broadcast where they do a live chat/help on Thanksgiving from 10-12. I've listened before, especially when traveling, and it's fun, funny, and helpful. I remember one year when two callers back to back really demonstrated the range of help Lynne gives & the varying experience levels of her listening audience - one had a question about a double-reduction sauce, the other was cooking a whole chicken for the first time and wanted to know how to get the packet of giblets out. Or, if you've got the technology, you could, you know, download some previous years' episodes and listen on your drive to Grandma's house.
Thirdly, what is your favorite part of the traditional Thanksgiving feast. I know everybody has different traditions, and I'm sure family-specific dishes that show up at your feasts, but let's hear about your fav of some of the (stereotypical, I'm sure) traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Leave a comment here or just click on the poll off to the right.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the reminder -- I love Lynne Rossetto Kasper's annual Thanksgiving show!
As to the poll, the best part about Thanksgiving food is the leftover turkey sammiches, often with a few of the traditional sides stuffed between the bread as well. (Turkey-cranberry-mashed potato sandwich anyone? Yum.) But if we're talking day of, I'd have to go with the pumpkin pie.
Oh, I forgot potatoes! How did I forget potatoes?
And yeah, leftover turkey sandwiches are the best, especially with some extra good gravy!
No one favorite I like the turkey (white) meat, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, and rolls, and...
