Plus, hazardous crockpots. and more news to start your day
You, too, can cook like Kamala
Although a conventional Thanksgiving is off the table for many people, as health experts warn against traveling and holiday gatherings while the coronavirus crisis surges to new heights, there are still plenty of ways you can pass the time this Thursday, including but not limited to cooking your favorite side and calling it a day. If that’s your playbook, here’s one more recipe to potentially add to your repertoire: Kamala Harris’s cornbread dressing.
During difficult times I have always turned to cooking. This year, I wanted to share one of my family’s favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you. I hope whenever you’re able to make it in life, it brings you as much warmth as it has brought me—even when separated from those I love. pic.twitter.com/68LUeat4fE

The vice president-elect shared the recipe, which includes cornbread, sausage, and apples, on Twitter and Instagram, noting that it’s a family favorite. She (or, to be more accurate, whoever runs her social media accounts) was kind enough to illustrate each step with a photo. Thanks!!
Harris has made her love of cooking clear throughout the years, as Elle reports. Recently, a 2019 video — filmed by Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart — of Harris sharing her turkey brining tips in between filming for an MSNBC appearance resurfaced on TikTok, where it went viral. “Do it like a pot of water, a couple bay leaves, a little sugar, a cup of peppercorns, you could even do a slice of orange, something like that,” said Harris, recommending a wet brine if time allows.
How much does @KamalaHarris like to cook? She answered my husband's ? about brining a turkey about 1 min before going on @PoliticsNation from Columbia, SC (after I was on). I recorded her response 'cause I don't cook and she was speaking a foreign language. #kamalacooks pic.twitter.com/IZiQ6iOnTQ

The last time a veep or president talked recipes on Twitter appears to have been President Obama in 2015, when he added his voice to the chorus slamming the New York Times’s infamous pea guacamole. The last true bipartisan moment!
respect the nyt, but not buying peas in guac. onions, garlic, hot peppers. classic. https://t.co/MEEI8QHH1V
