p(blue).(Editor's note: This chat is over, but the transcript is available to read here. And join Kim for another Table Talk chat, most Thursdays.)

Next week is Thanksgiving, the biggest feasting day in the United States — and, yes, the biggest cooking day too. 

Kim O'Donnel is here on Thursday, November 18, at 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET to answer your turkey questions, stuffing questions, sweet potato, cranberry, and mashed potato questions. She'll talk pie, and rolls, and green beans. 

Oh my, she'll even talk you through setting the table!

Bring your links, ideas, questions, and suggestions to Table Talk, this Thursday.

Place flour, salt, sugar in large mixing bowl, whisk to combine. Add diced butter and using a pastry blender, work cold butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. With a fork, add cold buttermilk and bring dough together (at some point, using your hands). Work into a ball but do not knead. Divide in half and make into a ball; flatten into a disc onto plastic wrap. Wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. Makes 2 crusts; keeps for 1 week in refrigerator. Tip 1: allow dough to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before rolling out. Tip 2: roll out ON the plastic wrap to make transfer to pie plate easier. Note 1: if you want a flakier crust, you can sub half of the butter with chilled shortening. Note 2: you can use powdered buttermilk, too: just measure the appropriate amount into the dry ingredients and use water. </span></td></tr></table><div class="bottomnametime"><span class="bottomdate">Thursday November 18, 2010&nbsp;</span><span class="bottomtime">10:28&nbsp;</span><span class="bottomdisplayname">Erin </span></div></td></tr></table></div>
