Salmon Rut and Turkey Gut

We bring you quick, useful and fun cooking inspiration each day from places we like from around the web, in 3 minutes or less.

Let’s get to it, clock’s tickin’!

Project Time

• We’re about a month and a half out from Thanksgiving, so like most any sane person you probably should start building your Thanksgiving planning spreadsheet. Right?

But they’re going to keep their mouths shut because of how much they loved your meal.

Something Fun (or Interesting)

• I think we can all agree that if you’re going to shove fast food fries in your face, McDonald’s is the way to go. Here Joshua Weissman tries to outdo McDonald’s chefs (and its horde of food scientists), with what look like some promising results…

Let us know what you tried (just reply)! More tomorrow.
