Of all the weird and wonderful items available for purchase at Costco (including a year’s worth of emergency food in case of the apocalypse, and a $6,400 bottle of cognac), this might top the list of the wackiest. For just $99, you could be the proud owner of a four-foot-tall wine glass, which is intended to be used for decorative purposes only. Obviously.

October brings the best fall has to offer. In addition to pulling out your scarves and coziest sweaters last month, you were also busy saving some of the recipes of the season to come back to again and again — things like pumpkin soup, comforting slow cooker dinners, apple-filled treats, and the roasted veggie sides to help you gear up for Thanksgiving. These were our 10 most-saved recipes in October.

Pop quiz: What’s one of the only animals we eat that’s native to North America? If you guessed the turkey — which you probably could, given the headline and the photo above — you’d be right. Native Americans hunted, ate, and even domesticated them for centuries before the “first Thanksgiving” in 1621. While the history of the holiday is complicated, and well worth learning, this article will focus on the meal’s centerpiece: a roasted turkey.

Thanksgiving day can be a long one and you may need activities to fill up the time as you wait for the turkey to cook or as you recover between turkey and pie. Especially if you have a crowd, it’s a great time to get some party games going. Here are ideas for games to suit all ages and, especially, games that all ages can play and enjoy together.

I know I write a lot about Costco, but honestly the store has changed my life since I started shopping there two years ago. Costco carries all of my favorite foods — in bulk, which is important for someone like me who eats a lot of fruits, veggies, and other plant-based foods.
During the holidays, Costco proves to be especially clutch because the warehouse store has plenty of seasonal gems. Here are the 10 items always in my cart, why I love them, and how they help me and my family eat delicious meals all season long!

No two Thanksgivings are the same. We may all celebrate with nearly identical menus, but family dynamics are different for everyone. And they’re, um, pretty interesting. So, I’ve decided to offer wine pairings based on some of the most awkward situations possible.
If you’re wondering why I’m not addressing the more traditional food-and-wine pairing aspect of Thanksgiving, there are two reasons. The first is that literally every wine writer in the United States has tackled this topic, sometimes annually. I think there’s some Magic Eight Ball out there for major wine publications that has a few different responses like, “Beaujolais,” “Obscure Sparkling Wine,” and “Tavel,” and writers just shake it and see what it says this year. Not because they’re hacks, but because it’s hard to come up with new wine pairing ideas for the same darn meal, every year.
The second reason is that no wine is really that great of a match with Thanksgiving dinner, because turkey is usually a little dry and easily overwhelmed by strongly flavored wine, and the rest of the table is a cacophony of different flavors, from sweet to earthy to rich. This makes for fun eating, but difficult wine pairing. You should serve whatever wine makes you feel celebratory and warm and fuzzy inside.
That said, these wines should help — no matter what you’re serving and what awkward situation you find yourself in.

Gordon Ramsay is well-known for his no-nonsense attitude in the kitchen. He has a reputation for a quick temper that he readily unleashes on his many shows, like 24 Hours to Hell and Back, in which he helps restaurants on the brink of closure clean up their act. Most people consider him one of the toughest chefs on television today — but there’s actually a much softer side to Ramsay that comes out when he’s around kids. So when his own children (he has four: Matilda, Holly, Jack, and Megan) took over kitchen duties in honor of their dad’s 50th birthday, he had the sweetest possible reaction.

I spend a lot of time thinking about hostess gifts — partly because it’s my job and also because I go to a decent amount of events at other people’s homes (for some reason, people keep inviting me over … maybe it’s because they know they’ll get a good gift out of it?) and I host a lot people in my own home.
Over the years, I’ve decided that I’ll never gift flowers (they’re annoying for the host to deal with), candles (see below!), or treats (because I don’t want anyone to feel obligated to serve them right away). And actually, I’ve gotten pretty creative, thinking outside the usual hostess gift box. I like to give something surprising, inexpensive, and useful. Ideally, it’s something the host wouldn’t usually think to buy for herself (think: a really nice soap dish or a tin of tea).
With all of that in mind, here are 10 of the best host gifts I’ve seen leading up to this holiday season (and, as a market editor, I see a lot of gifts!). I either want or plan on giving every single thing on this list.
For now classes are 6pm and 640pm at 2840 Wildwood st in the Boise Cloggers studio.
