Eric Asimov provided some interesting options to answer the question “Every year you answer the same questions about wines to drink with the feast. Well, I don’t want to drink wine, what else can I serve with the meal?” In addition to water {or as we like to pronounce it, dramatically, “whater”} he offers a recipe for Fish House Punch and and a very interesting night cap made with rye whiskey and Italian amaro. To read his complete response click on The Reaminator.

Hi Emily, great post, its so important to change things up and I am guilty as charged for sticking to what we know is good but rather mundane, all quite predictable, I have vowed as of this year to add or try something new every year, one or two things. Love the idea of the help desk..clever!

So many great recommendations!! I cook a very traditional Thanksgiving but instead of plain mashed potatoes I use 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 rutabaga (turnip). It's just enough different to keep me interested yet still satisfy my very food-conservative husband!

Hi Emily, If you want Thanksgiving side dishes with lots of flavor, check out my book, Entertaining from an Ethnic Indian Kitchen. It has complete spread of Thanksgiving with Indian spices.

Wow, your idea of having it all delivered on Wednesday is brilliant – the stores the day before Thanksgiving are no fun at all! (and even being able to change it until the night before? Amazon works wonders!) I was loving all of your arrangements of herbs and citrus – beautifully styled! Happy Thanksgiving Emily!

This is fantastic, Emily! You have everything under control and better yet, it will smell and look divine!
Since I am traveling quite a distance this year for Thanksgiving, I ordered a Greenberg Turkey (from my home state of TX) to be delivered early next week – it keeps for days and the smoked flavor and smell are amazing. My husband is the big oenophile in the family, so he's bringing wine and champagne (my mother warned me that I'll be bringing back Christmas presents in my suitcase).
And, my sis-in-law has already asked for my help cooking the turkey. So, I'll be a hands on deck kind of guest!
Here's to a wonderful day!

I quite agree! In the past, I used to prepare everything on the same day…and when people arrived, I wanted them to leave..Now I plan carefully…There are lots of things we can cook in advance!

Komali ~ I just ordered your book on Amazon, I am so excited to get it, the reviews are great. Readers, here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Entertaining-Ethnic-Indian-Kitchen-Komali/dp/160585526X/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1
Elizabeth: your Thanksgiving already sounds great, I love being the sous chef.
Barbara ~ I am addicted to Amazonfresh, I go out for some specialty items, but rarely do I visit the traditional grocery store. Hopefully, the biz will grow and the service area will spread, maybe even to Germany!

Hi Emily, Great post! I saw the NYT Q&A and read it all even though we won't be hosting Thanksgiving — lucky for me Mom will be doing the cooking because I'm still trying to get organized after being gone –looks like you've been doing quite a but if traveling yourself between the Ranch and London. Looking forward to hearing more!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving — sounds like you have the perfect game plan!!!

Hi Emily, thanks for the great post! It inspired us to organize our Thanksgiving game plan and do a little
bit each day to get ready – it made
for such a relaxed Thanksgiving, really great with the boys home. (Plus, it was cozy cooking weather this week, with the rain!) -kim
