If you’re headed to a family member’s house for Thanksgiving with one or two dishes that you prepare, remember to put utensils on your Thanksgiving packing checklist. With the number of different offerings present at most American Thanksgiving feasts, the host’s supply of serving utensils may be depleted by the time you arrive. Also, consider that oven and refrigerator space may be limited, so consider taking hot food already heated in an insulated carry bag and cold food in a cooler.

Happy Thanksgiving!
