Food In Jars answers the question, what the heck do I do with these pretty things?

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.

-- Now that Thanksgiving is pretty much in the bag, you can start worrying about Christmas. Lucky thing Food In Jars is showing you how to create an apple-cranberry jam suitable for gifting.

-- How's this for a game of Telephone: PhilaFoodie tweeted that Rick Nichols made it into this year's edition of Best Food Writing (Perseus) after he saw the author breakdown on Eater; Foobooz picked it up and now you're seeing it on Meal Ticket.� Will someone tell Rick we all say congratulations?

-- Vegas must have had a line on Jose Garces winning The Next Iron Chef... maybe they can give us a spread on Marc vs. Jose?� Our two local superstars (plus their respective kitchens) take to the football field tomorrow morning for the Vetri-Garces Turkey Bowl 1, reports The Insider.� Click over to see who's on the offensive line and who's playing wide receiver/safety.

-- The Beerlass bites into some Lancaster County 14-grain English muffins from Ric's Breads and immediately dubs Thomas's previously unchallenged version "The Bud of English muffins."� We'd like to add that Ric's also makes the premier raisin-less cinnamon swirl bread, also available at Green Aisle Grocery (1618 E. Passyunk).

-- Main Line Today's Bocconcini blog taps a few suburban executive chefs for sandwich-eclipsing recipes for Thanksgiving leftovers. If you can take another dose of tryptophan on Friday, check out turkey pot pie with dill biscuit topping, turkey spring rolls and BBQ turkey and pepper jack on brioche with Brussels sprouts slaw.
