Using this quick thaw method, the turkey will defrost at the rate of 30 minutes for every one pound of bird. So a 12-pound turkey should be completely thawed in 6 hours, and a 16-pounder in 8....

As a Mohawk woman, I greatly respect the Indigenous women and men who put their daily lives on hold and endangered their physical and mental well-being to protect the sacred dormant volcano of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the water systems of Standing Rock Sioux reservation and lands surrounding it, and continue to bring attention to the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Mirroring the “Instagram vs. reality” trend, the Instagram version of Thanksgiving is a holiday ostensibly about celebrating the joyous harvest feast between colonists of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people, but the reality is much different....

—Donna Sharlon, Mayflower, Arkansas Actually, you can! Tasty “meal replacement” bars and shakes are popular. But I can’t imagine living on them, nor are they formulated for that purpose. And few of us would want to eat even a wide variety of kibble and canned mixtures (like dog and cat food) day after day. Or how about emergency rations that provide complete nutrition for the military? Ugh! By the way, cooking for your dearly loved dog or cat may be enjoyable and perfectly fine now and then, but he or she will get the best nutrition from high-quality commercial pet food....

“I don’t want any input,” Rae told Vogue in March 2018. “As a writer, you put everything on the table. I’ll take input on kids if I’m going to have kids. How do I not kill the kids? Work? Give me the input. Any other aspect of my life? Give me the input. But who I’m f**king? No, I don’t need input. I’m good.” Preach!
