New Yorker Food Issue

If you'll have a little down time between tomorrow's cooking, Friday's Black Friday shopping, and maybe entertaining across the whole darned weekend, get your hands on a copy of the November 22nd issue of The New Yorker magazine. (Libraries are good for that, as the issue of the 29th will be on newsstands.) It's the Food Issue (just look at that gorgeous cover), with articles like "The First Kitchen: Eleanor Roosevelt's Depression-era fare," "Down Under: In praise of root vegetables," and "Nature's Spoils: The delights of fermented food." Even the cartoons are food-related. Check out the one on page eight titled "The Last Thanksgiving."
