At Mahalo this week, we are thankful for all the great pages our How-To team has been cooking up!

Not sure how to prepare your Thanksgiving turkey yet? Check out Sara’s How to Deep Fry a Turkey and Nicole’s How to Brine a Turkey. Then look at Evan B’s How to Carve a Turkey for serving instructions.

Looking for the perfect side dishes? Try Nicole’s How to Make Cranberry Sauce and Julia’s How to Make Pumpkin Pie.

And to tie everything together, Andy made a very comprehensive page on How to Plan a Thanksgiving Dinner!

Wondering what to do after the big meal? Feast your eyes on our Product team’s Black Friday Category, which features Laura’s pages on Black Friday Ads and Black Friday Tips, as well as Andrea’s page on The Best Holiday Sales.

Mahalo, and Enjoy!

What’s New in the World of How To: November 8, 2007

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, Mahalo’s How To team wants to help with tips and How Tos on every aspect of Thanksgiving, from picking the right bird to making the best desserts.

But before you can make Thanksgiving dinner, you may need to fly somewhere. We have a page on How to Fly During the Holidays - its tips will keep you sane as you experience the vagaries of air travel.

Speaking of going crazy, if the thought of spending time with your relatives makes you nervous, check out our page on Surviving Thanksgiving with Your Family.

But Thanksgiving is mostly about eating delicious food! As you plan your Thanksgiving menu, think about what you’re going to serve. Do you want to make your own delectable cranberry sauce? Or serve your guests homemade biscuits and freshly made gravy?

We already have a page to help you make homemade, flawless pie crust and one on making apple pie. But what would Thanksgiving be without pumpkin pie? Check out our page to learn how to make one, including how to roast your own pumpkin!
