Jonathon Safran Foer Rule of Thumb

Thanksgiving is the meal we aspire for other meals to resemble, and the Thanksgiving table is not a sanctuary from the world but a representation of our best hopes for it ... Of the thousand or so meals we eat each year, Thanksgiving dinner is the one that we try most earnestly to get right ... It holds the hope of being a good meal whose ingredients, efforts, settings, and consumption are expressions of the best in us.
