“Buy local, eat local,” is a mantra promoted by many localvores (those people who try to eat/shop most of their food locally). And now it’s extended to Thanksgiving. As of earlier this week, The Eat Local for Thanksgiving campaign had 1,500 people pledging to locally source as much as they can find for their Thanksgiving dinners. The Eat Local campaign is promoted by agencies like Puget Sound Fresh, and the Cascade Harvest Coalition. Find the pledge here: www.pugetsoundfresh.org/eatlocal.
Ask Bill Bonnie which white wine to serve with turkey, and he’s got a quick answer: “Burgundy.”
Preparing Thanksgiving dinner is enough of a pressure cooker, never mind having to do on-the-fly math to get it right. Here are all the numbers you need to have a safe, worry-free and delicious Turkey Day dinner.
We asked readers to send us their favorite Thanksgiving recipes and we were rewarded with more than 50 recipes that spanned everything from no-dairy pumpkin pie to lime Jell-O salad to wild rice with chanterelles and stuffed acorn squash. We don’t have enough space to print all recipes here, so we selected a dozen to feature. Of those, we declared five to be the newsroom favorites for this year’s reader- contributed Thanksgiving recipe section. We tested those five recipes in a home kitchen and found that the recipes will be sure winners for your Thanksgiving table. The authors of those recipes will receive cookbooks for their recipes.
We entered November with a very nice, beautiful autumn day with the temperature almost reaching 60 degrees. My husband, Joe, took advantage of the weather and walked to the nearby woods where he will hunt deer this fall. Our children went with him to see where he will set up his pop-up tent. Shotgun season starts in two weeks so Joe is getting excited to try his luck again and is trying to find the perfect spot. I would have liked to have gone to take the walk with them but I am still battling sickness so I didn’t want to make it worse.
Is it safe to party when swine flu threatens to derail your bash?
A big, luscious slice of pie is a special treat at any time of the year, but the holiday season – from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day – is when this dessert becomes a requirement.
Editor’s Note: I received word that sickness has brought the Eicher household to a standstill this week. Five in the Eicher home have fevers, including Lovina. So she was unable to complete a column for this week. We are wishing her a quick recovery for next week. Here are recipes Lovina wrote for inclusion in “The Amish Cook’s Baking Book,” which is available in stores now. – Kevin Williams, Amish Cook editor Pumpkin Sheet Cake

Cherry tomatoes are always in season at the supermarket, so why not capitalize on the bounty with a pizza? In this recipe, the tomatoes get supporting help from spinach and walnuts.
We had our first snow on Oct. 15, which was very early for around here. It didn’t stay long, but one of the girls said, “Oh, good, now we don’t have to rake leaves!”
“Authentic” is a word thrown around the foreign restaurant scene with abandon. It lures diners in with the promise of being transported to a faraway land where they rub elbows with locals fresh from a National Geographic photo shoot. But too much authentic and diners flee for the Americanized safety of Olive Garden and Panda Express.
