BAY AREA BITES
Your Guide to Bay Area Sustainable Turkeys
"Thanksgiving is a huge business in this country. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that 45 million turkeys are purchased for Thanksgiving alone. Most of those turkeys are raised in confinement, on large factory farms, and are types which are raised for their large, white breasts. In the Bay Area, we have access to many types of sustainably-grown, free-range, and heritage variety turkeys that you may be interested in considering for your dinner table."
Jennifer Maiser blogs: "On this post you will find a list of some Bay Area stores that will be selling sustainably-grown turkeys. Because of the demand of sustainable and small-production turkeys, all turkeys listed below should be pre-ordered from the store. Call the stores directly, and soon, to discuss an order."

Stuffing, Gravy and Mashed Potatoes: Oh My!
Posted by Denise Santoro Lincoln
As far as I'm concerned, side dishes are what make a Thanksgiving dinner great. Sure, I like turkey, but I truly love stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes. For me, carbs topped with gravy make this holiday meal delicious. The problem is that most of us don't make these three dishes very often, so preparing them once a year -- for a table full of family and friends no less -- can seem intimidating and make you feel a bit like Dorothy walking into the dark unknown forest with the Tin Man and the Scarecrow.

Events: Beaujolais Nouveau 2008
Posted by Amy Sherman
Every year, the third Thursday in November is the first chance to enjoy the earliest fruits of the French harvest. Beaujolais Nouveau is a fresh, fruity wine that marks the end of the harvest, and that is reason enough for light hearted celebrations. Around the Bay Area there will be plenty of different ways to celebrate and even an option for those who can't stand Beaujolais Nouveau.

Lev's Original Kombucha
Posted by Jennifer Maiser
Are you drinking kombucha? Among my friends, it's becoming all the rage. Kombucha is a tea-based drink that has been fermented and is effervescent. Many varieties of kombucha are available these days at stores like Whole Foods and Rainbow Grocery. While not proven, many tout health benefits such as liver detoxification, better digestion, increased blood circulation, and a general boost to the immune system. I personally like kombucha because I like the flavor -- with its fermented qualities, kombucha reminds me of an alcohol-based drink without the alcohol.

Stuffed Challah French Toast with Raspberries
Posted by Denise Santoro Lincoln
But a recipe doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming to be delicious and look great. Case in point: Challah French toast stuffed with cream cheese and jam and topped with berries. Regular French toast is a universal favorite, but with just a little extra effort, you can make it exceptional. Even better, this breakfast couldn't be easier to make and you can even prepare most of the dish the night before.

Posted by Wendy Goodfriend
The economic crisis is creating increased demand at the nation's food pantries and soup kitchens. At the same time, food banks are suffering from a falloff in donations. How are non-profit food distributors in Northern California dealing with the crisis?

A Vegetarian Thanksgiving
Even if you don't live meatlessly yourself, you might have a vegetarian or vegan at your Thanksgiving table. Offer your meat-free guests something more substantial than a cobbled-together plate of traditional vegetable side dishes.

TiVo To Help Couch Potatoes Get Pizza
Domino's Pizza is offering a new service thanks to TiVo. Now you can order a pizza with a click of the remote. If you're fast-forwarding through a Domino's commercial, you'll get a prompt asking if you want to order a pizza. The technology is a boon for companies that worry that people aren't watching their ads anymore. And for consumers, it could be a bit faster than text-messaging for a pizza, which Papa John's offers, or ordering from Pizza Hut's Facebook page.
