We have easy recipes for Thanksgiving side dishes, including roasted lemon broccoli and twice baked crispy pecan sweet potatoes. Plus, don't miss the video of Faith using the Aw Shucks!™  oyster opening device.

And we talk with Mark Kurlansky about his new cookbook International Night. ?It's based on a tradition he and his daughter Talia  have of making meals from around the globe for Friday night dinners. We tried the recipe for Sicilian swordfish. Delicious! 

Aw Shucks!
