Thanksgiving

28 years CSS has served the community and given people of the community a place to go to share fellowship and a meal. This year is another year volunteers are needed for meal prep for home delivery, coat check, food service, dishwasher, and many other thankless but rewarding jobs.

The Mall Of America gambled last year and decided to close for Thanksgiving. It made a statement to the other stores that keep opening earlier and earlier on Thanksgiving. The nation's biggest mall said it is going to do it again this year.

My mother always made real potatoes, that's what my father wanted, that's what he got.  I never tasted instant potatoes or potato buds until recently.  Wow!  They're fast, but I can't help feeling like I'm cheating the family out of real potatoes.  Then, I tried this recipe suggestion and I call it a "flavored" side dish now and it's super easy.

If you want to get out of making Thanksgiving dinner, this works, but that wasn't my intent.  I was shocked when I head the crash and walked into the kitchen and everyone I talked to has said they didn't know a stove top could break like this.  Living proof, it can.  Here's my word of warning so it doesn't happen to you.

You're the chosen one, Thanksgiving will be at your house and besides cleaning you now have to invite, make a list, grocery shop, make sure you have enough plates, make the table festive and umpteen other things to make the day enjoyable (and one up your sister-in-law from last year)...

Thanksgiving is a time for many to hit the road to see family and friends, with an estimated 48.7 million people traveling 50 miles or more this year, according to AAA. If you'll be one of those people hitting the road for the holiday, we we took a look into our weather crystal ball to see what to expect.

I like eating it, I like talking about it, and I like it, I'm talking about FOOD!!! My favorite food holiday is Thanksgiving. My favorite food at Thanksgiving? Stuffing, my Mom's bread stuffing. Sometimes I just make a pan for myself. I am also a Turkey man. I know some people like ham, but more and more I am seeing turducken featured at the grocery store.

Yup, Thanksgiving is here. You know the drill -- travel, see family, eat turkey, sleep it off. But there is so much more to this day than you might realize.

Doorbusters ain't got nothin' on these sizzling -- and totally phony -- Black Friday specials.

Thanksgiving is just about here, which means the best is yet to come.

While turkey is always the main event, without the side dishes you haven't got a Thanksgiving meal.  Here are three ideas for easy delicious side dishes to compliment your masterpiece Thanksgiving turkey.

It's a favorite local tradition for many, the 26th annual Twin Ports Thanksgiving Day Buffet held at the DECC on Thanksgiving Day, November 26. The community is invited to enjoy a free turkey dinner with trimmings from 11a - 4p and the DTA is offering FREE rides to the event.
