    We greet you, dear reader, upon the great launch of our society into holiday waters. Even if you aren't religious, you probably have some days off scheduled in the weeks ahead. And if you don't get to cook (please let me knead the dough; I promise not to eat all of it again) you might find yourself present, between two relatives like a Zach Galifianakis between two ferns. YOU'LL NEED A BOOK.

Stolen (poorly) from @meatcheesebread's Insta, but it's important to know that there is a diabolical STUFFING BREAD PUDDING sandwich with turkey, cheddar and apple/cran chutney on through Wednesday. Get it. https://t.co/WwM4jBPssk
