Thanksgiving, Friends and a Backyard Studio

A backyard studio, a table full of friends, and a holiday that refuses to stay tidy—this one starts with Thanksgiving stories and turns into something bigger. We swap decades-in-the-kitchen war tales, the unexpected joy of not cooking, and the scandal of serving ham instead of turkey. There’s practical wisdom too: mini pies that beat the knife fight, why Costco can save a feast, and how appetizers sabotage dinner if you don’t watch the clock.
