No matter what kind of turkey you'll be having this year, there's one question you'll need the answer to: What temperature does a turkey need to reach in order be considered "done"?
Until last year, the USDA recommended cooking turkey to an internal temperature of 180ºF. But based on the fact that bacteria threat salmonella cannot withstand temperatures of 160ºF after 30 seconds, the FDA now suggests a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF as measured by a food thermometer in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast.

It's arguably the standout dish at Thanksgiving, yet at the same time shrouded in ambiguity. What's the proper way to refer to it: stuffing or dressing? Is there even a distinction?

Hi Fit,
I recently started running outdoors and am really enjoying it. It's started to cool off, and breathing in the cold air really burns my throat and lungs when I jog. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?

'ET could exist, although there's no hard evidence' says Vatican's top astronomer
By NICK PISA
The Vatican's top astronomer says that ET 'could exist'
ET could exist, but there is no hard evidence he does, the Vatican's top astronomer declared at the end of a Vatican conference on extraterrestrial life.
Father Jose Gabriel Funes, who led the week-long conference on astrobiology, said that extraterrestrial life was a valid area of investigation for the Catholic Church.
Father Funes said: 'Although astrobiology is a new and developing field, questions on the origins of life and the presence of life in the universe outside Earth are legitimate issues and merit serious consideration.

So, I'm sure there's some super-specialized place on the internet that could answer this question for me, but what I want to know is how many of you ladies have a rice cooker, and what else do you do with it?
I just finally got one tonight and made some fantastic, perfectly cooked brown rice. I've been wanting one forever, because I'm so easily distracted I always wander away from the stove and accidentally let my rice burn. (Or I put in too much water.) I know, set a timer, I'm just ADD in the kitchen, I hear the timer, taste the rice, and wander away again, thinking to myself, "I'll go check on it in a minute...". And it seems like every time it takes a different amount of time to get to the right consistency, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes... Easier to pony up the thirty bucks for the appliance than to try and change my behavior to become patient enough to deal, you know? Plus, honestly, the first batch of rice we made was so tasty, it's better than anything we've made on the stove, I don't know why.

He's bigger than Ben-Hur at the moment, if you believe all the hype. Yet to come face-to-face with Robert Pattinson is to meet a serious artist, a multi-talented individual who could as easily have been a classical or funky musician as a movie star.
The Twilight juggernaut is propelling the 23-year-old British actor to the heights of mega stardom and, having previously only played minor roles, most notably as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he is making the most of it.

This is an interview Lesley Stahl did with NY Times columnist Gail Collins... I think it's an interesting history lesson.
LESLEY: So, Gail Collins, thank you very much for joining us today to talk about your new book When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present, which I have to say I loved and read and learned, because it’s about really the Women’s Movement from 1960 to today, which I obviously lived through; but there’s so much I didn’t know.

Warning, this is a very long article, but I felt like I had to share it. I had no idea nor had ever heard of this problem. I don't think I have words...
