0:00.0	Our common nature is a musical journey with Yo-Yo Ma and me, Ana Gonzalez, through this complicated country.
0:08.1	We go into caves, onto boats, and up mountain trails to meet people, hear their stories, their poetry, and of course, play some music, all to reconnect to nature and get closer to the things we're missing.
0:24.5	Listen to Our Common Nature from WNYC, wherever you get podcasts.
0:37.2	Hi, it's Lynn Rosetta, Kastor, from The Splendid Table, and we're here with our annual
0:42.1	Thanksgiving morning call-in show, Turkey Confidential, produced by American Public Media
0:47.6	and brought to you by Super Target. It's a special two-hour broadcast for your calls.
0:53.4	Think of this as Thanksgiving triage. We're going to be
0:56.7	taking your questions, swapping stories like the one from a while back, the Ruther who called in
1:01.9	and told us how you could roast a turkey in a tar bucket. Anyway, we're going to be maybe saving a few
1:07.4	dinners, and I've got a lineup of guests to pitch in.
1:15.0	We've got Christopher Kimball from Cook's Illustrated magazine, Joshua Wesson,
1:17.5	wine expert with a maverick streak.
1:22.0	Ruth Reischel, editor-in-chief of Gourmet, Tom Douglas, Seattle Chef extraordinaire,
1:25.2	Jean and Michael Stern, our road food duo.
1:35.1	But most of all, we have you. Call us 800, 537, 5252, or you can email us a question by going to Splenditable.org and click on the submit a question icon. Okay, let's see. We've got an email from Lisa Burn Burns, Tennessee. She wants to know
1:47.8	about her sweet potato casserole. She says, can you bake the potatoes rather than boil them?
1:54.4	Not only Lisa, can you bake the potatoes rather than boil them. I think they taste better.
1:59.2	They get sweeter. You get just, it's just more intense potato flavor, and they're never wet and soggy. Now, the other thing is, if the potatoes are organic and you've scrubbed the skin, I'll tell you what I do. I save the skins, and on Friday, I coat them with butter, black pepper, and salt, and I run them under the broiler. But maybe you may not want
2:19.0	to do that. It's really fattening. Anyway, yes, you can definitely bake instead of boil. Okay, we have got
2:26.9	the man himself, Christopher Kimball. Christopher is the mind behind Cook's Illustrated magazine and the host of PBS's America's Test Kitchen.
2:37.5	Christopher's on the line. Christopher, happy Thanksgiving.
2:40.5	I thought I was the face behind America's Test Kitchen.
