What's your family tradition for Thanksgiving?

And our family, we always get through the same routine.

It's very predictable.

My twin sister Bianca, she always pretend that she's not hosting.

She'll always say, well, who's hosting this year?

For the past five or six, maybe seven years, my sister has officially and unofficially

taken over the hosting.

And nobody in our family is complaining.

And yet she's the kind of person who wants to let everybody know that she's hosting

without letting everybody know she's hosting.

But it's hard for her not to be the automatic candidate because you walk into her house

and then all of a sudden smells enter your nose and sounds of crackling and whipping

and buttering fill the air.

And there is nothing that will come in between you and a bowl or 10,000 bowls of carbohydrates.

Yes, and amen.

Because that's what Thanksgiving is all about.

Now, Bianca just doesn't do Thanksgiving.

She's the kind of person that will collect recipes from things like Sunset Magazine,

or perhaps a casual mention in the New Yorker.

And she's the kind of person that will hunt down a recipe.

Some of her past dishes have included butternet squash soup with roasted chipotle.

I mean, it's like sweet, a little bit of tang, a little bit of heat.
