You’re Doing It Wrong: Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is pretty much candy with a crust. It’s cloyingly sweet, offers both crunch and a gooey filling, and contains approximately as many calories per slice as a plate piled high with turkey, stuffing, and sweet potatoes. It’s also super expensive this year. Do these sound like arguments against making pecan pie? They are not. Pecan pie is an unquestionable Thanksgiving tradition—a fittingly over-the-top end to an over-the-top meal.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has baby girl, secretly marries Brian Hallisay

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband Brian Hallisay are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter," the rep said.
Her "husband." See what they did there? Nothing quite rolls off the tongue like "Jennifer Love Hewitt-Hallisay."
 
The rep added that "Autumn James Hallisay was born on November 26."
No word yet on the moniker's inspiration or additional birth details.

Another source told the mag that Hewitt, 34, and Hallisay, 35, "got married recently in private."
That contradicts what the well-endowed "Party of Five" alum said at a Pampers event last August.
"I'm not putting that on myself also! We're going to wait," she said of getting married. "I'm going to get down and be cute again and then we'll be ready to go."
Hewitt announced her pregnancy and subsequent engagement to Hallisay in June after the couple had been dating since 2012. Hallisay reportedly popped the question in May while they were vacationing in Europe.
Being pregnant "is an awesome thing," Hewitt told People. "It definitely has its moments where you're like, 'Oh my gosh this is crazy,' but it's been beautiful."
The newlyweds initially met on the set of the short-lived NBC comedy "Love Bites." They later reconnected on Lifetime's "The Client List," in which Hallisay plays on-screen husband to Hewitt's double-life-leading call girl.

Box office preview: 'Frozen' ready to storm the chart, but it won't beat 'Catching Fire'

Disney has experience opening successful princess movies over Thanksgiving weekend. The studio released Enchanted on this weekend in 2007, and the film brought in $49 million over its first five days. It also opened the Rapnuzel tale Tangled over this weekend in 2010, which grossed $68.7 million from Wednesday to Sunday, and that film is a great comparison for Frozen.
 Anna.jpg
As the studio did with Tangled, Disney has downplayed the princess-y aspects of Frozen, which cost $150 million to produce, as much as possible. Instead of showcasing the sister protagonists (voiced by Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel), marketing has focused on Olaf the snowman (Josh Gad) instead in order to draw boys into the theater. Granted, Disney-philes know that Frozen is a riff on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen and that it features lush musical numbers sung by belty stars, which will no doubt bring in fans of Disney’s classic animations.

Thanksgiving 2013: Macy's parade balloons could be grounded

they are the inflatable stars of America's biggest holiday celebration – but the giant balloons of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade could be grounded on Thursday for only the second time in the event's 87-year history as a major winter storm sweeps across the country.
 Thanksgiving 2013: Macy's parade balloons could be grounded
If wind gusts exceed 34mph, the giant versions of Snoopy, Woodstock and SpongeBob Square Pants will not be allowed to soar between Manhattan's skyscrapers for safety reasons. And America is holding its collective breath as forecasters predict wind speeds of up to 40mph this year.
The no-fly gust rules were introduced after a Cat in the Hat balloon toppled a light pole and seriously injured a woman spectator during a blustery parade in 1997.
Organisers and police will make the final call on Thursday morning on whether to ground the balloons.
The parade, which normally attracts three million spectators to the streets of New York as well as 50 million TV viewers, is tinged with unusual controversy as animal rights activists are planning protests along the parade against a float for SeaWorld featuring Shamu the killer whale.

Hanukkah 2013 meets Thanksgiving: Thanksgivukkah

A day that's even more hectic because it's not just Thanksgiving dinner these customers are shopping for.
"It's difficult to shop for both only because you need so much for both holidays," said Jessica Bernheim.
 
Both, meaning Thanksgiving and Hanukkah-- a rare quirk of the calendar has the holidays falling on the same date. It won't happen again for almost 80,000 years! This monumental occasion has earned the nickname "Thansgivukkah."
Meredith Orgiefsky is shopping for both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah dinner. Double the holidays could mean double the stress, but she says it's all about delegating responsibilities.
"My husband is working on the brine for Thanksgiving and then when he clears out of the kitchen later, I'll start on the Hanukkah part," said Orgiefsky.
For Miriam Eisenberg, the holiday mash-up is inspiring some culinary creativity.
"Instead of having stuffing, we're going to have potato pancakes instead," said Eisenberg.
Hanukkah is more than 2,000 years old, but Thanksgiving's been around only 150 years. Rabbi Michael Weinberg says both holidays are inspired by the desire for the freedom of religious expression.
"The notion of the universal message of mutual respect for religious traditions, this is an important message for all people to understand," said Rabbi Weinberg, Temple Beth Israel.

Hanukkah 2013: Dates, Rituals, History And How-Tos For Celebrating The Festival Of Lights

Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is celebrated for eight days beginning at sundown on Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2013. On the Hebrew calendar, the dates are 25 Kislev to 2 Tevet in the year 5774.
 

This year, some are celebrating "Thanksgivukkah," as Thanksgiving is celebrated the day after the first Hanukkah calendars are lit on Wednesday night. The convergence of these two holidays won't happen again for another 77,798 years, according to some calculations.
An eight-day celebration, Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the second century B.C.E. during the Maccabean revolt against oppressive Greek rulers. It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays and is celebrated by lighting a nine-branch candelabrum, commonly called a menorah. (Technically, the candelabrum for Hanukkah is called a hanukkiah to distinguish itself from the seven-branch menorah used in the Temple and described in E
The story of Hanukkah is one of revolution and miracles: Greek influence over the Jews in the Land of Israel had become an affront to Jewish culture and ritual. Antiochus, the Greek ruler, forbade Jewish religious practice, so a small group of Jews, the Maccabees, revolted. These Jews eventually prevailed and, as a first order of business, restored the Holy Temple, which had been desecrated. The menorah in the Temple needed to be re-lit because, according to tradition, it should burn continuously. The Temple liberators found one vial of olive oil, enough for one day of light. Miraculously, the oil lasted for eight days.

John Boehner, king of the turkey brine?

Move over Martha Stewart -- House Speaker John Boehner boasts his recipe for brining turkey is the key to a delicious Thanksgiving feast.
The Speaker is spending the holiday with his wife, Debbie, their two daughters and their husbands at his home in West Chester, Ohio.
 
As is the family tradition, Boehner will prepare dinner, and the centerpiece is a turkey that soaks up juices in a special brine - a Boehner specialty he learned from his mother.
In an essay published in this week's Time Magazine about Thanksgiving, the Speaker says he's looking forward to cooking, writing: "It will be wonderful to spend a few days with our two daughters and make what I consider to be the best turkey brine around."
The dinner takes advance preparation and Boehner begins the process the day before.
He mixes garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves and maple syrup (what he calls the secret ingredient) and then adds that to water to make the brine. He then submerges the bird in the brine overnight.
Boehner's Washington staff can attest to the Speaker's skills at preparing the holiday feast.
For years, he invited his aides to his Capitol Hill apartment and used the same brine recipe to serve up an early Thanksgiving dinner.
This year, a Boehner aide says the schedule was too busy, so he didn't have time to cook for them.
By the numbers: Thanksgiving
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid is also spending Thanksgiving with his family.
But when it comes to the dinner Reid is less hands on than Boehner, telling reporters: "I'm cooking nothing."
In addition to the turkey, Boehner also makes his own stuffing and creamed spinach that includes bacon.
