The original idea of Thanksgiving dinner is composed of traditional foods.
The traditional foods are Fall harvest items. Basil is not one of the foods
that is still available at this time of the year for most of the US. I
think Rachel Ray or Giada was using basil in some sort of dish this last
week -- or maybe it was Michael what's-his-name.
