  5. I made the long-ass, three-day drive from Texas to Upstate New York earlier this week for Thanksgiving with my daughter, who's attending college here. Why drive? I wanted to also see my birthmom (I'm adopted) and her people in SW Ohio, including her 91-year-old mother who now lives with her and was born and raised in some eastern Kentucky holler (total hoot who recounts tales of Depression Era family feuds/shootouts) and my much younger half-sister along with her husband and kids. Monday night at the roadside motel in eastern Arkansas, I got a text from my birthmom telling me her mom just had a stroke and was in the hospital, so not an ideal time to visit. But she still insisted I crash at her place for the night before continuing on Wednesday morning, and I obliged. She'd kindly thrown a roast and root vegetables in a crockpot for dinner. Her mom had a successful surgery to remove the clot sometime overnight between Monday and Tuesday and was back to being lucid (her left side apparently isn't doing so hot) but wasn't ready to receive visitors. For Thanksgiving, my daughter insisted she do all the cooking (I ended up chipping in, of course, since it was her first time to take on T-Day). Everything turned out well, and we had a fantastic day hanging at her apartment, feasting on a fairly straightforward but delicious baked ham, plus sides). Later this morning, we're going to go get her a new phone and come back to bake a pecan pie together after lunch and watch a few episodes of "Arcane." I'll head back to Texas through Ohio on Monday and hopefully will get a chance to see my birthmom's mom (she's supposed to be released this Sunday). I've only met her 3-4 times, and given her age and condition, I fully realize this might be one of the last times I get to see her. So, I'll just be really grateful I decided to drive and have this last chance (possibly) to be around her for a short while. Y'all take care of yourselves and those you love. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

  12. Coming to a Pizza Hut near you: Tomato Wine. Pizza Hut Is Selling a 'Tomato Wine' — and It's Meant to Taste Just Like Pizza It's made from "ripe, juicy tomatoes and infused with natural basil." Pizza Hut is hoping to make your holiday entertaining even easier by offering an all-in-one takeout solution — including the chance to pick up a bottle of its new Tomato Wine. Yes: Tomato. Wine. The tomato wine, Pizza Hut explained in a statement to Food & Wine, "captures the essence of your favorite slice in every sip." And the chain also announced it's bringing back its beloved Triple Treat Box, meaning you can bring both pizza and wine to your next party all in one go. "The holidays are a time for many gatherings, but often, the gift of a bottle of wine can feel expected. Why not be the one to bring the pizza party with the gift of pizza wine and a Triple Treat Box designed to ignite fun and conversation," Elyse Slaton, Pizza Hut's director of advertising, shared. "As a brand that has pioneered many firsts in the industry, we took a beloved, classic pairing of pizza and red wine and flipped it on its head as we aim to spark intrigue and create a more memorable holiday pizza party." OK, we know you need way more details about the wine. According to Pizza Hut, it's made from "ripe, juicy tomatoes and infused with natural basil," made in partnership with Irvine's Just Beyond Paradise Winery, a family-owned vineyard in Kansas. The wine, the chain added, "offers an aromatic blend of fresh herbs and spices with rich, sun-ripened tomato notes and a subtle hint of toasted oak — reminiscent of a perfectly baked pizza crust." Pizza Hut added that the wine tastes similar to a white wine (they didn't get specific on what kind of white wine) and is best enjoyed chilled. The wine is offered as part of a limited-edition gift set, which includes a bottle, two Pizza Hut branded wine glasses, and a wine opener, which, again, it notes, pairs "perfectly with Pizza Hut's festive Triple Treat Box." As for that Triple Treat Box, it includes two medium one-topping pizzas, breadsticks or cheese sticks (note: the cheese sticks come with an upcharge), and a choice of dessert. The Tomato Wine by Pizza Hut retails for $25; however, a minimum purchase of two bottles is required, and the limited-edition gift set sells for $60. Both are available starting today, but only at irvinewinery.com/pizzahut. The Triple Treat Box is available at participating Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide, starting at $19.99.
