Thanks for these great links! I only watch select Iron Chef America shows and this one sounds like it would be a fun one to watch, looking forward to it!
That Thanksgiving letter is unbelievable!! I can’t imagine being a part of that family, or growing up with a mother like that! That $47k lunch bill is pretty outrageous too.
I’m with Helen – that letter and lunch bill are unreal! I also really like the uses for leftover bread. All the links are great, Amy…as usual.
Love the shopping links! I can really use those, thanks. :) And nice one on the bread – I always use mine for bread crumbs and croutons. I haven’t bought canned bread crumbs in forever. The fresh taste so much better anyway. I just throw it in the food processor and freeze the crumbs, taking as needed.
You know I loathed that lunch bill too. Absurd.
Melissa – here are a few more finds for holiday gifts that I love:

Thanks for a fab list, as always! Love the shopping links. The control freak’s letter was beyond belief. I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to your December posts. Take care.
What fun! I am looking forward to that Iron Chef episode.
The $47,000 lunch was interesting. $15,000 of it was for 3 bottles of wine. I’d like to experience what a $3,000 bottle of wine tastes like. Remind me not to go to Nello’s until AFTER I win the lottery.
Really fun links (as always). Especially liked the ideas for stale bread, we go through that dilemma here too. Keep’m coming.
Popped in to say hi! I love your cresent rolls below!
haha this is awesome! I love the gourmet vending machine snack site. Too funny. You always find the best links.
Loved the Thanksgiving directions. I’m surprised anyone agreed to go to her house for the holiday. The individualized plates were very cute. I would pass on every one of those gourmet vending machine snacks. The high sugar, fat and calorie count are enough to make one gag…. Can’t even comment on that lunch tab—too far out of my league to relate in any way, shape or form!
