Happy Thanksgiving! I share my main thoughts on the holiday in a guest post on the Well blog over at The New York Times’ site. But here are three more:
More than anything, I hope you enjoy and appreciate the food we’re fortunate enough to have.
After that, please try to save leftovers from the your Thanksgiving dinner. This photo should provide some real motivation. Tomorrow (or even tonight!), the best sandwich of the year awaits. Don’t forget the gravy (reheated, of course).
And by all means, send some food home with guests. Just a guess, but I’m sure there’ll be enough to go around.

To compare your Thanksgiving experience with another, check out Times food writer Kim Severson live blogging her Turkey Day. Hope the pie turned out OK!

Bonus question: what are you looking at here???

My guess: leftover mashed potatoes that were stored in a plastic Ziploc container. If not, it looks just like them and I know because my grandmother sends them home with me all the time!
Love your blog. Thank you for this focus and helping us to be mindful of our food choices. Happy Thanksgiving!
Mashed potatoes.
Congrats on the article, JB! Great read, very timely … I think you knocked it out of the park. This is such an important topic — I’m glad that more and more people seem to be paying attention. It’s cool to see so many comments on the NYT site. Well done!
My guess on the photo: it’s the snowy paw-print of the elusive Ziplocness monster.
Brian, you’re right–it’s a Ziplocness monster. You other guys were way off with the mashed potatoes guess.
Or not.
