quicklist:1category: title: Turkey Day Q&A With Mariourl: text: What?s your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Stuffing. I can get damn good turkey anytime, but I only get stuffing once a year.
Do you change your menu every year or do you stick with the same tried-and-true favorites?
I change the menu every year. Everyone in the family has their favorites? Mexican was the least favorite because it was the farthest away from the traditional menu. I made a chili adobe gravy that was not a huge success.
Is it a community effort in your family or do you do all the cooking?
I do most of the cooking. The boys (Leo and Benno) make the desserts. This year they're making Carla's chocolate pumpkin cake.
In the spirit of giving thanks, is there a charity you would like to draw attention to this holiday?
The New York Food Bank is in the most trouble. After Hurricane Sandy they need more support.
