Modern ThanksgivingHave you gotten into sourdough discard crackers? I bought a little cutter that makes them into nacho shaped-crackers.
They come in a bunch of different shapes:

Covid comes to the SK household
Hope you're feeling better soon, @shirokuro . How is Mr sk doing? Has he recovered enough to take care of you?

Modern ThanksgivingWhen I made it myself I used the ATK recipe which calls for a Pepperidge Farm bread, maybe the Country? Buttermilk? You cut it up into cubes and dry it in the oven and then make the stuffing. I used it in the Julia Child deconstructed turkey recipe. You just throw it in a large roasting pan and put the deconstructed turkey on the top. Pretty mindless but it does require an oven, which your slow cooker recipe does not.
Homemade sourdough sounds lovely.

Covid comes to the SK householdI had it once, in 2023. I felt crummy for a couple of days. Mostly fatigue, sore throat, a fever for maybe a day. I followed the @steve-miller protocol and totally vegged while I was feeling poorly.

Modern ThanksgivingI tried this stuffing that Costco had but found it too salty for my taste.

Resurrected from the (presumed) graveyardI can't give away trade secrets.
And yes, I was surprised to find that the forum has been sitting there since 2005. Someone is paying for that storage even though no one (well except me) can get to it!

Modern ThanksgivingThat looks quite good. I can live without the crispy skin and wouldn't bother with the broiler step.
Costco has mash and scalloped potatoes, both from Main St something-or-another. And I think last year they had their in-house Yukon gold mashed potatoes in those silver trays with the plastic lid. Kevin's turkey gravy is pretty good, especially if you put a dash of madeira in it and maybe some drippings from the bird.
The traditional dinner is nice, but I'm with you. It's much better to spend time with your guests than to sweat bullets in the kitchen.

Resurrected from the (presumed) graveyardWhat does this mean? Back door into PW?
(Pardon my ignorance…Back door into the CR. It was initially closed to new posts but you could still read what had been posted. At some point it was erased from the list of subfora and you could no longer even read the posts. Unless you found the back door...

HegsethPresident Trump has been asking advisers around him and on the phone whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should stay in his job, following Republicans' catastrophic losses Tuesday night, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
Some White House aides have predicted some of the blame for GOP midterm losses will be trained on Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, who both played big roles in guidance on the Iran war.
Still, other sources said the president hasn't decided to replace Hegseth. Before the election, Democrats were already trying to impeach Hegseth, and the likelihood of an impeachment effort could increase with Democrats holding strong majorities in both chambers.
Vice President JD Vance is blaming the war for the GOP defeat. "The reason we lost is the war," he said in a lengthy post on X Wednesday morning.

He is now given a 24 percent chance of becoming the next presidential nominee for the Democrats, jumping up 9 percent in the past day.
His odds of going on to win the 2028 presidential election are now at a 18 percent chance, up from 10.5 percent the day before - four points ahead of Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and five points ahead of vice president JD Vance.
