The Top 10 Must Haves For Your Turkey Day Table!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and before you think about all the Black Friday deals out there, there’s the actual Thanksgiving Day to think of first! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it’s one of the few times of the year where my entire extended family comes together for a whole day filled with delicious food. We may have the conventional turkey and cranberry sauce, but my family has been known to roll some sushi rolls or add some stir fry noodles to the mix. If you’re starting your own Thanksgiving traditions this year, I’m here to provide the basics for a foolproof holiday from thermometers to serveware.

Vegetarian Thanksgiving Tips
image from riptheskull Thanksgiving is technically about giving thanks and spending time with loved ones, but it’s really just an excuse to eat copious amounts of delicious food- depending on what you consider delicious. A holiday nicknamed “turkey day” certainly does not bode well for vegans and vegetarians, especially those spending the day in a crowd of meat-eaters. Annoying vegetarian jokes aside ( snappy comebacks here ), the day’s emphasis on poultry heightens the omnivore/herbivore rift

Comfy Cashmere Sweaters Without The Campy Christmas Prints
Sure, cashmere is soft and luxurious — just the kind of warm-weather material we crave during the cold winter months. But for some reason, whenever I think of the idea of a cashmere sweater, I can’t help but be haunted by my childhood memories of unwrapping my Christmas gift from Grandma and finding (to my utter dismay) a chunky cable-knit creation with a dilapidated Christmas tree on its front

Jerry O’Connell on Twins’ Personality Differences
Fame Each working actors in the industry, Jerry O’Connell and wife Rebecca Romijn have no problem providing for their fraternal twin daughters Charlie Tamara Tulip and Dolly Rebecca Rose , 10 months. That said, if the stars align, Jerry — noting that his girls are Capricorns — jokes that the tables will soon be turned! “It means that they’re going to be independently wealthy, so I’m hoping they can make some money and help fund my horse racing habit. Note I said habit and not addiction,” the doting dad, on hand to celebrate the 2009 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, laughs.

Scott Wolf Would Do ‘Anything Under the Sun’ for Jack
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin Actor Scott Wolf is no stranger to life on the small screen, but now that he’s a father — to 7 ½-month-old Jackson ‘Jack’ Kayse , with wife Kelley — his role on the new ABC series V has taken on newfound importance. “I’m sort of constantly diving in and out of my work life, and I’ve been lucky to be able to do that,” he recently mused to PopEater . “I’m grateful that I’ve had that opportunity, and that when I feel like I need to go live my life and be away from it for a little while, I can.” All play and no work isn’t always realistic, however, and on that note Scott adds, “I would definitely say that having my first child and looking down at this tiny face and knowing that I would do anything under the sun for him and, you know, that feeling of, it’s not just about me, or me and my wife

Keith Urban ‘Not Pining’ For Another Baby
Fame Calling himself “immensely blessed” to have welcomed daughter Sunday Rose , 16 months, with wife Nicole Kidman , country crooner Keith Urban admits in a new interview the couple were unsure if they would ever become parents together. “We didn’t get to meet each other in our 20s and 30s,” he points out to the UK’s Hello! magazine, “so we thought maybe that’s not our journey, we’re fine with that.” Keith adds, “It’s such a miracle to have her.” Although their marriage has offered its fair share of ups and downs, Keith says they are united in their commitment. “We want the best for each other and we support each other to do that,” he explains.

Chocolate of the Week: The Raleigh Bar
A full bar of chocolate can be quite hazardous. Shard by shard, they tend to disappear. And so, while perusing the specialty chocolate section, as I always do when there is one, I was drawn to the Raleigh Bar, a mere two inches in length (stocking stuffer?) and just three dollars. Its creator is David Briggs of Xocolatl de David in Portland, Oregon. Briggs, once the sous chef at the Park Kitchen in Portland, keeps his culinary skills fresh by incorporating savory flavors into his chocolate bars. There’s the bar with Piment d’Espellete (a chili pepper from the Basque region), fried Marcona almonds and smoky paprika in the Almond and Pimenton bar, and a dark chocolate truffle filled with blue cheese. But the Raleigh bar is less molecular gastronomy and more common sense. Few would argue that salted caramel and pecan chocolate nougat aren’t excellent partners. The caramel truly is salty – bits of fleur de sel linger on your tongue – but with the sweet nougat and slightly bitter edge of the 72% chocolate holding the whole thing together, it’s a good thing the bar is so small. Oh, and there’s also a bacon caramel version.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon: Jax and Jaid Are Two Peas In a Pod
Kristian Dowling/Getty Aside from their October 18th birthday, 2-year-old fraternal twins Jaid Thomas and Jax Joseph have little else in common! “[Jax] is definitely friendlier — he’ll be your friend right away — and Jaid is a little more reserved — he’ll check you out before,” the boys’ mom Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon dishes to Celebrity Baby Blog, adding that the differences between the two have been obvious “since day one…I swear to you!” That said, despite their contrasting personalities, nothing is stronger than the brotherly bond the twins share. According to the actress, Jaid and Jax have recently become more aware of the other and in turn look to each other for comfort.

The Name Game: Outstanding Outliers
Somewhere in between Bronx and Bob , there are a whole host of celebrity baby names that live on the fringe between “out there” and “traditional.” According to nameberry.com co-founder Pamela Redmond-Satran , these so-called “outlier” names have the added benefit of being “truly original” while remaining recognizable as established, tried-and-true names. Among Pamela’s favorites are Paulina , as recently chosen by former baseball star Mike Piazza . “Her middle name Sophia might be a trendy top ten favorite,” Pamela notes, “but Paulina, which has that same feminine exoticism, is a fresher choice that could launch a new trend.” Bronwyn , as chosen by Angela Bassett and Courtney B.

Genetically engineered heavy metal fans
The wastewater released from industry often contains high levels of toxic heavy metals, which can kill organisms, damage ecosystems, and accumulate in the foodchain. Electroplating, lead smelting, mining, and countless other processes produce enormous volumes of such wastewater. In a perfect world, remediation would be powered by a renewable energy supply, there would be no solid waste to dispose of, and the heavy metal contaminants could be recycled back into the industrial process with minimal losses.

Obama Nominates Pesticide Lobbyist as Chief Agricultural Negotiator
Haven’t heard of Islam Siddiqui? You should know him. The Obama administration preferred if you didn’t, but you should know him. Why? Because he may soon have the power to directly influence the food you eat. President Obama recently nominated Islam Siddiqui to the role of Chief Agricultural Negotiator at the Trade Office. He will be charged to lead an organization which represents our agricultural interests both here and abroad. The problem is, Islam Siddiqui is a former pesticide lobbyist for CorpLife. He is the same guy who openly chided Michelle Obama for not using “crop protection” (a.k.a.
