Hi people, this week we're revisiting the Thanksgiving episode from season 1. I think it bears a repeat...

Here's my recipe for wild rice casserole. It's a delicious alternative to turkey, and just as nice over the weekend as on the day itself:

You'll need:

1 cup wild rice

1 cup ripe olives cut up

2 roasted red peppers cut up

 lb grated cheddar cheese

 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

 cup salad oil

 cup white wine

Soak the wild rice in hot water and leave over night. Preheat the oven 350. Combine all ingredients except wine in a casserole dish and mix well. Heat the wine until simmering then pour over casserole. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Serves 6 as a side dish, 4 as an entree.

This week on my NPR podcast I'm discussing ways to make holiday shopping easier. Don't miss it!

Don't forget the Brini Maxwell auctions this week. They feature some fun holiday garb - perfect for those ubiquitous office parties!
