    UPDATED: Eye on the Turkey

    Decatur Metro | November 27, 2014 | 12:36 pm

    UPDATE:  We received three other photos today, one from Mexico (I think), one from NYC and one from the Cummings Family.  Thanks all!

    I’ll kick things off.  Check back throughout the day as we add to the collection of turkey/Thanksgiving pics.  You can submit your Turkey Day pics to [email protected]

    Happy Thanksgiving all!

    Thanksgiving Open Thread

    Decatur Metro | November 24, 2011 | 2:10 pm

    Happy Thanksgiving Decatur-land!  All the very best to you and yours.

    In honor of this day of coming together, I give you this open thread to discuss pumpkin pie, your relatives, or what you’re drinking this afternoon.

    BTW, Scientific American says that the whole “tryptophan from turkey makes you sleepy” is a myth.  You’re most likely sleepy because of carbs and alcohol.

    Cheers!

    Happy Thanksgiving Decatur/Atlanta!

    Decatur Metro | November 25, 2010 | 2:15 pm

    I would be remiss if I didn’t wish all my fellow Atlantans a Happy Thanksgiving!  (Even if I don’t have anything all that clever to relay.)

    I rely a lot on Mark Bittman on days like today.  His “How to Cook Everything” rarely disappoints!  Also rely on my mom for her apple pie recipe.  (Yes, I made my crusts from scratch, thank you very much.)

    So, how will you be inducing your food-coma today?
