beloved sister plagued our Thanksgiving celebrations for numerous years. Nevertheless‚ by the matchless grace of God‚ our beautiful traditions replaced the horrible memory of the last time I saw her alive. In 2000‚ while living in Okinawa Japan I noticed a paradigm shift in the way we celebrated that wonderful holiday. I spent that particular holiday cooking for my wonderful military family. After I returned home to the United States‚ I started enjoying every Thanksgiving with my family in Macon

Thanksgiving Dinner I relaxed in the living room of my parent’s two-story colonial home watching the football game and playing games with my siblings‚ the mouth-watering smell of a homemade Thanksgiving dinner fills the air. Every room in the house was intoxicated with this sensationally delicious Thanksgiving aroma. When dinner is called upon‚ the shuffling footsteps of my famine family can be heard miles from the house. As we all gather around the long rectangular oak wood table‚ covered

On Thanksgiving we gather with our family and friends‚ thinking that we are celebrating everything that we are grateful for and giving thanks to that. We do this by sitting around a large table of smiling faces with a big‚ hot‚ succulent‚ golden brown turkey in the center that went through a horribly miserable death‚ just to get on our plates in time so we could celebrate our good times through its worst. First‚ I would like to talk about my own experience. Getting time to spend with my family is

Thanksgiving Dinner By: Jason Bay I walked into the kitchen and spotted a turkey and prime rib‚ chicken‚ smoked ham‚ macaroni and cheese‚ corn on the cob‚ candy yams‚ stuffing‚ mashed potatoes‚ and greens. The delightful scents of turkey and prime rib‚ cheese‚ buttered corn‚ sweet yams‚ and gravy filled the air.

Thanksgiving break‚ a time for family fun and relaxation‚ unless you’re the chef du’jor of the meal. Fortunately for me I was only the assistant‚ mom still gets the full privileges of preparing the feast. I do though get consulted on all‚ or most of the food safety aspects that go with it. So you can imagine my trepidation when asked‚ “can I defrost the turkey in a cooler of brined ice water?” Do what! A cooler of brined ice water? Yes‚ that was the question of the moment‚ 24 hours pre-turkey day

It was the last Thanksgiving that my grandparents were there for. How could we ever expect them to be‚ they slept in small cases underneath the grass. Nonetheless it was merry‚ still filled with so much “family” that I had never met and I still flinched at the words‚ “do you remember me?” that parted from unrecognized lips. There was Aunt Helen’s famous apple pie‚ and the six turkeys‚ and the dogs running around in the backyard. I loved Thanksgiving because it was normal. It was the one holiday my

The Truth about the first Thanksgiving Notes America’s origin myth about the first Thanksgiving tells us the Pilgrims were the first settlers. Landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620 “they went about the work of civilizing a hostile wilderness.” Hundreds of college students didn’t know the myth from the truth. The Spanish abandoned a settlement in 1526‚ leaving African slaves in South Carolina. Few Americans know that one third of the United States as we know it had been Spanish longer than it had

Until recently the history of America’s first Thanksgiving was a cute animated cartoon in my mind. While little is known about the occurrence‚ the little we do know tells a tale of betrayal and misjudgment. The issues facing the pilgrims and the Wampanogs were primarily different cultural practices‚ language barriers‚ and religious bigotry. These differences caused tremendous consequences‚ which we can not only learn from‚ but also we can come to understand more about why there is still war and international
