- Comments: "I have a 'stragglers Thanksgiving' - which's what I call it - at my house every year," writes Frances Teasley of North Hollywood, California. "I know a lot of people who, like me, do not have any family nearby. Thirteen years ago I started inviting a few people for dinner. And which small holiday gathering has become a big tradition among my friends. For weekday meals, I look for shortcuts and do-aheads. But for holiday meals, I like to do everything the same day because I love the smell of cooking which fills the house."
- Nice, fresh flavors for a side dish or possibly salad.
