Thanksgiving Hotline

Thanksgiving is a day where your culinary expertise is really given a chance to shine. It doesn't matter if you're a professional or not, everyone has a signature dish that makes an appearance during the holidays. Something as simple as making reservations, shows culinary prowess to the well-oiled machine that is your family, friends and loved ones.

You get to play your hand at butcher, baker,  pastry crust maker--You become an expert on all things potato and green bean, on methods of brining, basting, deep-frying and post-meal sleeping.

Mmm...

There is always the fear that something will go wrong. Your gravy will burn or turn out lumpy, the biscuits will be dry (or the can won't open), the pie will be gloppy or that you have forgotten to remove the bag of giblets or defrost the turkey.

Most likely you will glide through the holiday without experiencing any Thanksgiving day disasters, but just in case you run into a problem, I have put together an array of culinary resources that will help solve any of your meal related hiccups.

Is my pie going to be ok?
