		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a dilemma facing families who hold the holiday precious: how do you make each Thanksgiving better than the last without violating what people know and love? And what can take the place of a treasured recipe or practice that, owing to the passage of time, is no longer available? About three years ago, my family&#8211;my immediate family&#8211;accidentally started a new Thanksgiving tradition, a mini-celebration of Thanksgiving in advance of the true holiday. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November; our new tradition, which is called &#8220;Practice Turkey Day,&#8221; is somewhat more amorphous in its celebration date; the only requirement is that it take place about a week before Thanksgiving. Truth be told, Practice Turkey Day is one of my favorite days of the year. It was my wife&#8217;s insistence on preparing a Thanksgiving turkey in a smoker that first prompted us to purchase a smoker: the Weber Bullet, which is touted within the meat-smoking community as being good for beginners. It was our gun-shyness at preparing a turkey in the Bullet for a large family celebration that prompted us to make a &#8220;practice turkey&#8221; the week before.p It was the best goddamned turkey I ever had.

Thankfully Virgil’s, a maker of wonderful sodas, has a small selection of stevia-sweetened sodas under the “Zero” label. How do they stack up?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, Valentine&#8217;s Day, that most cloying of celebrations where people obsess about greeting cards, dead vegetation, and&#8211;the holiday&#8217;s one saving grace&#8211;chocolate. We&#8217;re big fans of the stuff (albeit not so much the bacon-infused versions), our enthusiasm nearly approaching that we have for beverages. So naturally the half-sloshed cads here at OO decided to take a look at a chocolate spirit, probably the strongest in terms of brand recognition out there: Godiva. We sampled both the straight-up chocolate and the chocolate/raspberry combo. Being that we prefer our spirits to be served straight up, or in traditional cocktails, we must admit being quite pleasantly surprised at the results, both in solo and cocktail form. NOTE: While I would personally classify these as liqueurs (these are 30% alcohol, so definitely sugar added in there), these are classified by the manufacturer as &#8220;infused vodka&#8221;; Godiva has a completely different &#8220;liqueurs&#8221; line. These are a different animal. Godiva Chocolate Infused Vodka The straight-up chocolate version of the Godiva Infused offerings is the clear winner among the two. Chocolate liqueurs so often fail the &#8220;actually tasting like chocolate&#8221; test. This does not; the chocolate flavor is pretty spot on in chocolate flavor. Even better: it&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>
