It's been a busy week here at HODINKEE HQ. Or, rather, away from HODINKEE HQ. We've had editors on four continents over the last few days, bringing you stories from Switzerland, Dubai, and elsewhere. In the midst of it all though, we've still had time to scour the web to find other stories to bring you on this weekend, which is the last one before Thanksgiving here in the United States. Whether you're into food, art, or sneakers, we've got something good for you right here.
Enjoy.
The 400 Degree Thanksgiving ?The New York Times
When I'm not thinking about watches, I'm usually thinking about cooking (and eating) my next meal. I also happen to be in charge of Thanksgiving this year (as I was the past three years). This interactive package is beautiful and practical, explaining how to cook the entire feast with one oven, at one temperature.

The Best Hotel Breakfasts In the World ?Condé Nast Traveler
In New York, my typical breakfast routine involves something quick that I can scarf down at my desk. So when I travel, an indulgent hotel breakfast is one of my favorite treats. I somehow just found this list from Condé Nast Traveler, which details the best morning meals around. I consider it a to-do list.

The Nasothek Nose Collection ?Atlas Obscura
This is just what the name says: a collection of noses. These aren't just any noses, though; they're noses that were once part of attempts to restore Classical statues that had lost their schnozzes, to something like their original appearance. Nowadays, such alterations are considered very bad form.
