This week on Cooking Issues Dave and Nastassia take on a set of Turkey-day related cooking issues. Learn how to make the perfect stuffing as safely as humanly possible, why we shouldn't ignore our rich history of hanging birds before cooking them, and how a physics student used a bar of chocolate and a microwave to measure the speed of light. Plus: someone threatens to cook Dave over a certain racoon-related jpeg. This episode was sponsored by Cabot Cheese of Vermont, Dairy Farm Family owned since 1919.
