Thanksgiving Prep FAQ
Dear Razor,
How do I know the right size turkey to buy for Thanksgiving? I am having 15 people over for dinner.
--Wondering
Dear Wondering,
There is a simple formula to figure out the right turkey for your group:
# of guests x 3. So for your group of 15, I suggest a 45 pound turkey.

Dear Razor,
This year, we are having about 15 people for Thanksgiving dinner. How many pies should we have, and of what kind?
-- Pie Parent
Dear PP,
My simple rule is that one guest = one pie. So if your dinner will include you and 14 others, you will need 14 pies. My mandatory pies are pumpkin, cherry, apple, lemon meringue and pumpkin with a different kind of crust. Pie is good for you, too, as it contains high levels of both breadolin and smartonin!

Dear Razor,
My cousins have starkly divergent political beliefs and always get in a big fight at Thanksgiving. What can I do to have some peace around here? There will be about 15 guests total.

Dear Torn,
If you serve a 45 pound turkey and 14 pies, you should have no problem with people staying awake.

Dear Anxious,
Your best bet is to serve the 45 pound turkey BEFORE the game and hope they all go to sleep. Also... do you have enough pie? You might need another pie.
