Garten's mac and cheese is the perfect make-ahead dish for the holidays. Garten's overnight mac and cheese is a creamy, decadent dream. More importantly, Garten's overnight mac and cheese is extremely delicious. It's my favorite "Barefoot Contessa" mac and cheese recipe, although Garten's "grown up" mac and cheese is definitely a close second.

☆ I don't have a group of close friends. It's taught me to be more independent.

While watching "Friends," I realized I'm Monica and Chandler in equal measure, with my attention to detail and choice of humor as a coping mechanism. Despite our glaring similarities, I lack what holds them all together in the world of television: a constant friend group. It's worth noting that I do have friends, people I've handpicked from different social circles at different points of my life, all of whom have yet to intersect. Today, I have best friends from high school, my K-pop phase, college, clubs, and the weird limbo between student and work life. Angel Martinez has friends from different stages of her life.

A video clip showing a man in military uniform praying for U.S. President Joe Biden to be replaced by his predecessor Donald Trump while sharing the stage with Biden at an event in Norfolk, Virginia, has been flipped horizontally and contains an altered audio track. On Nov. 19 at an event dubbed “Friendsgiving,” Biden and first lady Jill Biden served Thanksgiving dinners to military personnel and their families at Naval Station Norfolk, Reuters reported. The chaplain’s full prayer can be viewed at 7:36-9:12 and makes no reference to Biden or Trump. The moment seen in the edited clip, originally shows the chaplain concluding his prayer (9:03) with the words, “Bless our fellowship. Original footage shows that a military chaplain did not pray to “get rid of” Biden and “bring back” Trump at a Friendsgiving event in November 2023.

(AP) — President Joe Biden is set to visit naval installations in Virginia on Sunday for an early kickoff to the Thanksgiving holiday week. He plans to host a screening of the movie “Wonka” and have a “friendsgiving” meal with service members and their relatives. Later, the Bidens plan to help serve dinner with service members from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the USS Gerald R. Ford at Norfolk Naval Station, the largest installation of its kind in the world, along with their families. In 2021, the Bidens visited the Army’s Fort Bragg in North Carolina for an early Thanksgiving meal in a hangar for about 250 service members and their families. The president and first lady plan to spend this Thanksgiving on Nantucket, a Massachusetts island.

☆ 'Love Is Blind' is hell on earth: Contestants say producers deprived them of food and sleep, preyed on their anxieties, and refused to let them quit

After the 10 days, cast members must decide whether they want to get engaged to another contestant sight unseen — or go home. The season-two contestant Nick Thompson said "Love Is Blind" didn't adequately support its cast members — during or after filming. Many cast members believed "Love Is Blind" would be a cut above other reality shows. The first evening in Cancún, producers told Ruhl she couldn't attend a party for all the newly engaged couples because they thought she might have COVID-19. In a later episode he again became infuriated and threatened to leave when Reed came home late from clubbing with other cast members.

The gratitude I feel now is genuine — but it is not for being chosen to be adopted. But the worst thing people said was: Your mother wanted what was best for you. Wasn’t the best possible life a child could have the one they had with the mother who gave birth to them? I could mourn my now-deceased birth mother and love my adoptive mother, who shares a Thanksgiving table with my family today. The gratitude I feel now is genuine — but it is not for being chosen to be adopted.

CHICAGO, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Cooks may have to put away their oversized platters for serving turkey this Thanksgiving. If a farm has an outbreak, producers must disinfect their barns after culling turkeys and wait about six months before restocking. The National Turkey Federation acknowledged that cooks in some geographic areas could see limited supplies of big turkeys. On the U.S. East Coast, Baldor sees a shortage of the bigger sizes as large Thanksgiving celebrations make a comeback, Lindgren said. Shoppers are resuming traditional purchases of turkeys around 18 pounds, after downsizing their birds for smaller gatherings over the last two years, he said.

You could also plan a progressive dinner party with your neighbors where each house hosts a course. If I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner, it's likely that I've already started making preparations a couple of days before. I am a huge fan of dim sum and had heard that dim sum restaurants were often open on Thanksgiving Day so I decided to take my mom for dim sum that year. You could be the person who helps save someone else's Thanksgiving dinner while making money and saving your own holiday meal. Your traditional Thanksgiving meal doesn't have to stress you out financially.
