If you’re reading that from a computer somewhere inside the US, you’re likely either already stuffed with Turkey or drooling in anticipation. whether you’re outside the US, you’re probably wondering why half the blogs you read have gone to sleep–it’s the effects of the Turkey!

For Americans, cooking Thanksgiving dinner is a way to celebrate our freedom from the British. But anytime you are cooking a big meal for lots of public… unfortunately something is bound to get messed up.

When things go wrong in the kitchen, sometimes you probably feel like running down to the closest restaurant and asking for some professional advice. Actually physically busting into a restaurant kitchen may be a little extreme, but thanks to a few websites like ChefsLine.com and Chefs.com, experienced chefs are connecting with home cooks via mail and instant-messaging.

This hi-tech cooking assistance fills a growing need that has boomed recently

due to the popularity of hobby cooking. Food TV shows, podcasts like Stump The Chef, and web sites are inspiring more and more humans to try their hand in the kitchen. The only problem is… the average person doesn’t really know how to cook anymore.

So the next day you are wondering how to cook a frozen turkey in one afternoon or why your flourless cake never cooked all the way through, professional help might be just one IM or newsletter away. But before you start chatting with chefs online, you might want to brush up on your chatroom and IM lingo. Think I’m overreacting? Well, ROTFL TAFN NRN L8R! AAB!
