Good morning and happy almost Turkey Day. Four days out, most of us know what we're making—and if you don't, you might want to call the host and confirm you're not on dessert duty.

If you want to bring something fun that doesn't outshine the staples, I'd suggest Edible Butter Candles and Noah's Cranberry Sauce Jello Shots.
Now, let's talk about the in-between meals—the Wednesday-to-Sunday moments when someone dares to ask, "What's for lunch?" Leftovers are the obvious answer, but if they're not cutting it, we've got ideas.

Another idea fresh from the Test Kitchen: Noah's Famous Ten-Trick Chili. Last week, he tackled the question, What if you added every "secret ingredient" people claim to have to one pot? Short answer: It works.
For Friday, consider a pot of leftover turkey bolognese for an alternative to sandwiches.
