I wish I had seen this before Thanksgiving this year. I have never been one to follow a script *except* for holiday meals, but am now breaking out and with some favorable results [parboiled Brussels sprouts sauteed in duck fat w/ pancetta]. Thanks for liberating me even further!

I also read the Micheal Chabon piece and to say it resonated with me is an understatement. My mother died in August and the first holiday season with her will be challenging. Within the last year many of my friends have lost their mothers. I made 10 copies of this piece and have sent them out to others for their thoughts. I found the article so comforting. Like Dr.Seuss said, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” As someone who celebrates tradition it’s time to embrace change, incorporate the wonderful memories of the past and make sure the best of what those we loved so much left behind is still ptresent inus.

Nicole: Turkey mole sounds fantastic. I love it! I always wonder what I’d make if I wasn’t able to come home … if it really was just the two of us asking ourselves what we honestly felt like. Yours sounds pretty wonderful. Enjoy! ~m

The woman who owned Manka’s is taking over the Olema Inn! I hear the food is great, though I don’t know if it’s fully open yet …

Loved the BA piece, not least of all because its about a place to close to my heart ….. But also for the inspiration. As I’m currently trying to figure out my thanksgiving menu, the recipe is especially welcome.

I love when a piece of writing hangs on like that and you find yourself pondering it days later. A beautiful post, today!

Oh, Dana: It will be a familiar place with people you love. And for that it will feel like Thanksgiving, I think. You could always do a second one back at home where you make the dishes you always make, yes? I’m sure Randy wouldn’t quibble. I hope you have a happy one, too. I’ll be waving at you as we pass each other in the friendly skies. xx.
