Something I’ve noticed: no one freaks out about Thanksgiving anymore. It used to be a high-stress holiday: rigid traditions, a turkey that wouldn’t brown, your aunt yelling about everyone crowding into the kitchen while she’s making gravy. But I think we’re finally breaking free. We’re gaining confidence. We’re slipping chiles into our cranberry sauce and miso into our greens and serving pork. It’s about time—a holiday that’s about gratitude and gathering should be fun, goddammit. Who gives a hoot if the potatoes got oversalted!
