Nancy's Thanksgiving Hotline

Seattle Times food writer Nancy Leson and Dick Stein usually get together at the KPLU studios each Tuesday to record Food for Thought -- but given Tuesday's hazardous driving conditions it seemed more prudent for Dick to just get Nancy on the phone for their Thanksgiving chat.

Read the recipe thoroughly, says Nancy. And if you're missing an ingredient and out of time to shop, Nancy gives some handy pointers on how to improvise. She and Dick talk about some of their handiest tips for you as you prepare your Thanksgiving meal.

After listening to this week's episode (click the Audio play arrow above), head over to Nancy's blog for the recipes that Nancy and Dick discussed. They hope you'll leave your own Thanksgiving thoughts and recipes below.

Happy Thanksgiving!
