Chris Kimball from America’s Test Kitchen visited Steve Inskeep’s kitchen a few weeks ago to tape an NPR Thanksgiving segment titled A Thanksgiving Meal from the Test Kitchen. I was there too, carrying all the food – some finished, some in parts. The segment aired yesterday, and you can listen to it and read about it at NPR.org.
Some of the pictures include me although I was support team only, not to be seen or heard. There I am between Chris Kimball and Renee Montaigne, and I appear to be dashing. I did need to zip about that morning – many bits and pieces, lots of cooking, very precise and lively.
We had a lot of fun and I learned some stuff about turkey, which I am putting into practice as we speak. The better for midnight sandwich making, my dear. Had to trade up on the turkey for a bigger one when our numbers swelled. And pick up a nice loaf of white sandwich bread.
The NPR gig was elaborate and cooking-minutiae packed. You wouldn’t think there would be anything more to learn about pie crust at this late date. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I’m putting vodka in ME because it makes me lighter and flakier!
