Thanksgiving is nearly here, which makes me depressed, not because I have nothing to be thankful for, since I do. Like that time that cop let me off with a warning. And the pet turtle I had when I was 6. Oh, and my family and stuff. Them too. But mostly the turtle.
No, the reason I am depressed when the holidays roll around is that I am forced to do things I hate, like “being nice to people” and “making eye contact with others” and “getting out of bed.”
But there is one good thing about Thanksgiving: the food. Unfortunately, I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I am a terrible cook. For the past week I have woken up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat by the nightmares of not knowing what I would cook.
What was I to do? Thank god I checked KOCO’s web site this morning! There I found a multitude of holiday recipes from some of the anchors and reporters at Channel 5. I don’t know about you, but if there’s one thing I want in my newspeople, it’s cooking ability! Now the rest of the world can taste Tierney Cook’s Sweet Potato Halves and Kevin Sims’ Cranberry Tea! I only wish Husker Rick had contributed his world famous “Tornado Turducken” so that we could all try it.
Anyway, in the generous spirit of Thanksgiving, the three of us at The Lost Ogle have each contributed one of our favorite holiday recipes. You’ll find them after the jump. We hope you give them a try. Happy Thanksgiving!
