Some quick ideas:

*Sub in Hallah for bread in your stuffing

*Reduce down some manischewitz and use it in your cranberry sauce (cut the sugar and liquid to compensate)

*Make matzo balls and just serve 'em. Matzo balls are delicious.

Also, my buddy Kenji Lopez-Alt just posted an insane looking deep fried Latke-Stuffing-Cranberry creation here: Thanksgivukkah Recipe

I would recommend cooking your dressing underneath the turkey in the oven. What's left can easily be done stovetop: cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, squash, buttered peas, etc. Be sure to bake your pies first thing in the morning to free up the oven for your bird.

For me it was probably the Cinnamon Swirl Bread I worked on a year ago. Every recipe out there falls into one of two camps--a tiny thin line of cinnamon that disappears, or a thick layer that destroys the structure of the bread. I made at least 80 loaves of bread before I found a better dough, shaping technique, and cinnamon filling.

I haven't yet (today). Thanks for the reminder.

I hate to disappoint but Guy Crosby is actually of the nicest, least Hannibal Lecterish-y guys I know. We only hold him in that room for the duration of filming and he's then allowed to roam free.
