The Fix: A last-minute Thanksgiving Day dinner

Everyone has their own internal checklist when it comes to the art of manliness. Sure, you can change a tire, build a campfire and pay for a date. And that's great. You're a regular Charles Bronson. But can you cook?

That's what we thought. Don't feel bad; it's among the most overlooked of manly traits. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of men who know their way around a kitchen, but your average bachelor isn't exactly an iron chef.

If you find yourself eating cereal for dinner, or your idea of a home-cooked meal includes a microwave, our new series, The Fix, is for you. Rest assured — we have realistic expectations, here. You don't need to  have encyclopedic knowledge of ingredients, but a basic understanding of cooking will go a long way.

In our first installment, our host, John Bowman, bachelor consultant extraordinaire, shows you how to prepare a last-minute Thanksgiving dinner under the worst circumstances. So sit back, have a laugh and maybe learn a  thing or two.
