Everyone at the Tulsa World is in a good mood today. That's what happens when we're stuffed with turkey and dressing, gravy, casseroles and pies.

Today was the Tulsa World's annual employee Thanksgiving dinner. It's a fun day where the company provides the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls, and the employees bring all of the sides and desserts. It's all spread out among several banquet tables. A true feast.

Here's what I love about Thanksgiving, whether on the real day or a week early: People who never cook find their way to the kitchen. A good friend walked in today with a big smile on her face. "I made stuffing," she said.

And it was really good stuffing, dotted with dried cranberries.

A few other highlights from our early Thanksgiving dinner:

Spoon bread made with chiles and creamed corn

Pea salad, layered with bacon, cheese and lettuce

Pecan tart

Broccoli-cheese casserole

Neiman-Marcus cream cheese brownies
