Rebroadcast: Calling All Thanksgiving Foodie Photographers
This year, I’ve had more than one friend or associate tell me that they’re planning on cooking something that sounds downright fantastic this Thanksgiving. (Some of you know who you are.

Cider Cooked Cornish Game Hens with Apple and Bacon
I love cornish game hens because they’re so sweet and small. They cook quickly. And with very little effort, they transform into a ridiculously impressive-looking main course.
