Roasted Beets with Sesame and Marjoram
Prettiest when not piled too high; divide the salad over two platters and put one at each end of the table.
Sourdough, Italian Sausage, and Chestnut Stuffing
Choose a country-style sourdough, preferably not too tangy, and if you prefer hot Italian links, go for it.

If you like stuffing with smoked oysters, you'll like it even more with tart lemons on top.
