It's that time of year and I'm starting to crave comfort foods. Does anyone have any good recipes for Egg Nog, Pumpkin Pie, stuffing? Or better yet do you know of any affordable places to pick up these things. Any good tips for finding a turkey? Please feel free to discuss the things that you miss too.
