My mother tried for *years* to get my dad’s family to see that a fabulous couscous with turkey and traditional Thanksgiving vegetables would make the perfect centerpiece, but alas, it was never accepted, so French-inspired it is.
(But never, ever green bean casserole.)

I always use turkey for chili. Also nice in bolognese, and great for all different kinds of meatballs.

The era of following Trump’s insistance that admitting any error makes you look weak, so never back down, never apologize, always punch back is going to end. There’s an opportunity in being among the 1st to look like the bigger person and come across as decent & reasonable.

That said, “Investigate all these DEMOCRATS in Epstein’s emails!!” is also stupid politically. It encourages Republicans in Congress to vote for releasing the files while making it look like they’re going after his enemies rather than him.
