By Sohla El-Waylly , The New York Times My first year creating recipes for Thanksgiving season, I was practically giddy at the thought of coming up with dishes that would be shared at countless tables. (And yes, it’s a season, especially if, like me, you’ve spent years at food magazines and test kitchens, where holiday planning starts while it’s still beach weather.) “You’ll get over it,” said my then-supervisor, a Thanksgiving veteran. In the years since, I’ve roasted whole turkeys in forests of herbs, spatchcocked turkeys blasted with high heat until their skin crackles, and broken down birds to sear and baste with butter until every part is the ideal temperature. And my supervisor was right. I got over it. In that era of endless turkey testing, when the holiday finally rolled around, I began branching out for my own meal, making Peking duck with pancakes or prime rib with Yorkshire pudding.

Denver school board reveals dueling allegations that directors violated state law, board policy

Three members of Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education went public Thursday night with allegations that a fellow director had accused them of violating open meeting laws, and they, in turn, accused him of “behavior unbecoming of a board member toward DPS staff.” Near the end of Thursday’s regular board meeting , director Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán said she and fellow board members Michelle Quattlebaum and Scott Esserman had emailed board President Carrie Olson asking that unspecified policy violations by another member be discussed during a work session on Jan. 9.

Men’s basketball: Nonconference attendance lags at CU Events Center

Despite a roster overhaul and a general lack of Division I experience among the squad, the Colorado men’s basketball team has shown significant signs of progress since tipping off the season seven weeks ago. It’s been a home-heavy slate so far, too. Yet few people have witnessed the Buffaloes’ early growth in person. After the Buffs capped nonconference play with a win against Bellarmine on Saturday, head coach Tad Boyle pivoted from a question about a boisterous crowd spurred by an Alamo Bowl sendoff for CU football and an appearance by Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy to comment on the state of the program’s attendance through nonconference play. Simply put, there have been plenty of available seats at the CU Events Center. And at the dawn of the NIL era in college basketball, it’s a concern on the forefront of Boyle’s mind. “Quite frankly, I think the core of our fan base for the basketball program has been very loyal and good. But if people think that the nonconference attendance...
