Ask the Internet: Favorite Thanksgiving Sides?

Before I head out to vote, it's a quickie (but a toughie) that'll help guide the blog over the next few weeks:

Q: Straight up, what are your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes?

A: Last week, we covered portable sides. This week, we're throwing our arms around the whole shebang. They don’t have to be inexpensive, they don’t have to be remotely healthy – that’s our job, to adapt them as such. Mine are:

• Ma’s Sweet Potatoes. Uh. Muh. Guh.
• Dad’s stuffing. He got it out of a 1984 article in Newsday, and it uses about four pounds of butter, every ounce of which is pure delight.
• Giada DeLaurentiis’ Turkey Sausage and Chestnut Stuffing. It costs approximately a bagillion dollars to make (jarred chestnuts, anyone?), but it's so rich and awesome, you won't mind bankruptcy.

Fire away, folks! I’ve already commenced drooling. I mean it. It's getting on my shirt.
