Thanksgiving is almost here! After watching the parade and gorging yourself on turkey with all the fixins, you generally have three options: Football, napping, or riffing.
I know the new season of MST3K drops on Thanksgiving, but if you stayed up all night binging it, don't have Netflix, or don't care for the reboot (it's really okay, you don't have to like it), I humbly offer up an alternative serving of RiffTrax releases you could watch instead.

Thanksgiving is coming fast, and everywhere you look online, people are posting fantastic sounding recipes. Time for us to join in the fun!
Last year, we shared the recipes for two Thanksgiving-themed drinks, the Old Crowberry and the Turkey Smoothie. Now, we have come up with a new drink for the season: The Gravy Spritzer.
Gravy Spritzer
3 oz Sutter Home White Wine
1 oz Store Brand Diet Lemon-Lime Soda
2 tsp McCormick Turkey Gravy Mix
Start by putting the gravy mix into your glass. Pour in the wine, and stir until the gravy dust is dissolved. Add in the lemon-lime soda, and serve.
This is the prefect drink to give to that one cousin that keeps trying to hit on you at these holiday family gatherings. You know the one.
