Every year during recipe testing for SoundLife’s back-to-back Thanksgiving food sections, I remember exactly why it is some people like to dine out on Thanksgiving. Ouch. My back. My feet. My kitchen. What a huge mess. Is that gravy on my ceiling? Dine out? Not a bad idea

Thanksgiving can be one of the most stressful meals of the year for the person charged with selecting wine. In fact, when faced with the daunting task of trying to pair wines with the myriad flavors and textures on the Thanksgiving table, it can be downright terrifying.
Sausage in the stuffing, cream in the potatoes, gravy on that big, rich bird. Face it, Thanksgiving is one heavy meal.
Sage is one of those herbs chefs love to love. With its earthy, peppery perfume and textured leaves that fry crisp like chips or saute soft like blankets, it offers a range of savory sensations that can help pull together an elegant Thanksgiving menu.
Entertaining may have become more casual over the last couple of decades, but it doesn’t mean that the fun has gone out of setting a beautiful table. Interior designers and party planners love to create “table-scapes” that set the mood for a dinner or party, however, it doesn’t take a design degree to create a beautiful table that will complement the food and celebrate the moment. And best of all, it doesn’t take a lot of money to do it, either.
Sugar and spice, and everything nice, that’s what Thanksgiving is made of.

Here are some tips and recipes from local chefs to help you do budget desserts this Thanksgiving.

Leftovers may be an afterthought most days — but not Thanksgiving.
First came the Thanksgiving hot lines. Then the turkey tweets.
Whether it’s the rolls, the sweet potato casserole, the cranberry relish or grandma’s butterscotch pie, many South Sound families will sit down to Thanksgiving dinner next Thursday with some remnant of an edible family legacy on the table.
Though turkey soup and sandwiches are the go-to ways to use up leftovers after the holidays, we’ve always liked hash. Pure comfort food, it lends itself to endless variation, depending on whim and what’s in the refrigerator. Here, we jazz up a turkey hash with colorful bell peppers and a touch of French herbs. Serve it with a frisee salad with a mustardy dressing and slices of hearty French bread.
There are traditionalists when it comes to serving Thanksgiving turkey. They believe turkey should be prepped simply, roasted golden brown and served with a simple gravy.
