Smart Talk talks Thanksgiving dinner
What to look for on Smart Talk Tuesday, November 20, 2018:
Food, football, family, a nap, turkey, a chill in the air, newspapers bursting with holiday advertisements, which pie to eat for dessert, wine, the kids’ table, the aroma of turkey in the oven and thoughts of what you and your family are thankful for and appreciate in life. These are all images that come to mind when thinking about Thanksgiving. Take one or two away and Thanksgiving may not be the same. But if there is one constant with Thanksgiving, it is the food and dinner with family. Maybe more so than any other holiday.
It’s one of the reasons we always look forward to Chef Donna Marie Desfor’s appearance on Smart Talk just before Thanksgiving and this year, she is joined by her Now That’s a Mouthful podcast co-host Cherie Krause.Â

If you’re the kind of person who plans ahead, Donna and Cherie may have ideas for something to add to the Thanksgiving menu. For those who like to wait until the last minute, they may change the direction your Thanksgiving dinner will be going in. Or maybe it’s just a dessert or new holiday breakfast they will suggest.
Tune in Tuesday’s Smart Talk and be ready to call in with your own ideas or Thanksgiving traditions.
