Not the Best Cook? It's YouTube to the Rescue!

Thanksgiving makes people go out of their way to treat guests to some quality food

For those of us not born in the US, the idea of a day off just to give thanks seems rather strange and, why not, welcome. I mean� "what, just stay at home, kick back, grab a beer and watch the game while somebody's cooking turkey in the kitchen?" I think I could get accustomed to that. No, I KNOW I could grow to like it.

The part I'm not so thrilled about is the certainty

that there'll be no one there to do the cooking so my "traditional" Thanksgiving meal would probably consist of a sandwich and perhaps, if I'll really be in the cooking mood, some fat, deep-fried erm� fries. But I'm really good at preparing that so it won't be like I'm eating some crap junk food. Or will it?

YouTube's thought of the possibility that you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to cooking or that you'll be alone (just try not to be, it's one of the saddest moments in your life, right next to seeing a clown cry and the puppy without one leg hopping in the rain) and they have the perfect solution to the problem: video cooking lessons: "if you're like us you haven't even started shopping yet. But there's no need to panic: our community of gurus is here to help with recipes and tips to make your holiday dinner super scrumptious. These videos reveal the secrets that make the classic dishes work, including how to cook a turkey, make mashed potatoes and concoct cranberry sauce to die for."

Heh, I'd be willing to give that a try. Well, I wouldn't be involved in the actual cooking, I'd be in the more "executive" area of shopping for whatever's needed. Seeing a naked bird being put stuff in isn't really helping with my appetite.
