[Mariner*]

I brined once, didn't like it. I would like to try injecting the bird with a marinade just before shoving it into the oven and see how that works out.

More important, as food-science maven Harold McGee pointed out in the New York Times this month, the extra salt in the turkey can botch the gravy.

That's just crazy. HOW?? Maybe they make gravy in some abnormal way??

Bronzed, fluffy, toasted marshmallows are very photogenic, which is why I think so many publications still cling to one version or another of the hypersweet sweet potato casserole.

ACCCCKKKKK. Okay, I hate marshmallows, but even if you don't, they have NO PLACE anywhere except in a dessert. I LOVE yams. Really easy. Boil 'em, mash 'em with butter and salt. From there on, you can either: 1) add some maple syrup, or 2) add some not-chunky chipotle salsa and some brown sugar or Splenda.

Either way, they're great. And very, very easy to do. Make 'em in advance, heat them up just before you eat. Feed the leftovers to yourselves and your rats.
