By the time some of you read this, I’ll be baking my Thanksgiving pies and lowering my turkey into the brine.

But the most important part of this holiday isn’t the delicious dishes we’ll prepare (although that’s important; don’t get me wrong). It’s sitting down at the table with the people we love and knowing how lucky we are to have the many things that others are not fortunate enough to have.

On that note, I want to thank all of my blog readers for making the Fridge Magnet such a fun part of every day at work. I am thankful for each one of you.

Since I’ll be away the rest of this week, I want to leave you all with a special treat. Web producer Meg Martin has built a player for all of the food videos I’ve created. There, you can watch my wings video, a funny chili pepper video, a story about Foggy Ridge hard cider and the pomegranate demonstration.

Perhaps it will give each of you an excuse to escape the family or just burn a little time while relaxing at home.

Also, by early next week, a new video will appear on the player featuring yours truly preparing a casserole with leftover turkey. It’s a delicious casserole and I urge you all to try it out. If you have any other ideas for food videos, feel free to make suggestions.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
