Seasonally Appropriate Nonoriddle

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and it's just a coincidence that it's so close to (and sometimes exactly on) my birthday. This week's 6x6 nonoriddle, "Thanksgiving Staple" was actually up yesterday, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to write about it until this morning.

Last week's "Microscope Requirement" garnered four fastest times: catherwood topped the leaderboard for the first time at thirty-nine seconds, followed by david3x3x3 at forty seconds, Jetzm at forty-three, and joefendel at fifty-nine.
