A food blog with nothing to say on Thanksgiving? Sorry to disappoint, dear readers. Mona and Chris and the RSFP cooked an incredible feast on Thursday. Alice Waters is visiting the Academy.

Later I braised some chicken and served it with roasted tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes—with some olives and a bit of anchovy in the sauce. It hasn’t been a very foody weekend, though because Jack has a stomach bug.
