Turkey On Thanksgiving Day: A Case Study
Turkeys are iconic! They are respected birds so much so that Benjamin Franklin advocated for the turkey to be our nation’s bird instead of the bald eagle (Wonderopolis, 2014) and other founding fathers of the United States such as Alexander Hamilton once stated that, "No citizen of the U.S. shall refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day." (Trex, 2013). Could you imagine having a Thanksgiving table without the beauty of a golden turkey or going into a home without the aroma of this scrumptious bird? Heck no, that would not be right! So why should we continue to consume turkeys? Did you know that 3 ounces of turkey, breast, roasted, contains only 125 calories, 2 grams of fat, 0 grams of carbohydrate and a whopping 26 grams of protein (USDA National

    We are in NFL season! Wouldnt it be great to watch the game with a plate of chicken wings? I say Yes! Therefore, visit Buffalo Wild Wings. They have a wide range of flavors which I love. You can find the chain restaurant almost anywhere. I usually eat at Buffalo Wide Wings at Forrest Hils just because it is closer to me. I recommend to be extremely patient. They usually don't have enough waiters for a number of people that go to eat there.I usually wait 10 to 30 minutes just to get a table, then 30 to 60 minutes for the waiter to arrive with the food. Although it takes forever I still see myself gravitating to the restaurant when I'm craving wings. The menu has different prices for the wings, it all depends on a number of wings.Usually, prices…

    In Dave Barry’s work Turkey’s In The Kitchen he states that women still cook and clean while men no longer do their part and work on the cars. This is false as proven by Gretchen Livingston article Growing Number Of Dads Home With The Kids. It says that a large number of men are becoming stay at home parents doing the cooking and cleaning instead of the wives. Another thing that proves this is the article by Kate Irby stating that men are more likely to work longer hours while women are more likely to spend time cooking and taking care of kids. This shows that men are working their fair share outside of the house in order to provide for their families while women take care of the children a bit more. Lastly in the article by Dave Berry he states…

    When we consolidated around the Thanksgiving dessert table for a slice of delicious Apple pie, we all attempted to grab the dominate slice over the others. Somehow the pie was not as great tasting as we anticipated. The texture as well was off, as if it was a thin rubber. We decided to cut into the pie to examine the base of each pie slice. It appeared that the people who escorted the pie to the house we gathered in, managed to bring a counterfeit cinnamon pie used for display purposes. We had to wait as my grandmother taught my distant cousin who was docile to create an official Apple Pie. The Pie was… burnt. That was my fictional anecdote over at my Thanksgiving collaboration.…

    Why are chickens important in the Village Valle del Sole? The Village Valle del Sole is located in one of the most isolated parts in Italy, so people living there are easily influenced by the lore that is going around the whole village. For example, throughout the novel, it is shown how important the chicken symbolises to people “He had a fight with his neighbor about a chicken. His neighbor came over with a shotgun, they started shouting and screaming, and pom! the next thing you know, his hand is gone” (Ricci 20) . From this incident, it can be deduced that even an animal such as a chicken could be considered precious due to their superstitions during that era. Every little action can be considered superstitious including the chicken ceremony which Vittorio secretly conducted himself without the knowledge of anyone. On the other hand, this chicken ceremony can be considered a supper because there is no proof that the chicken ceremony actually worked and Cristina did not specifically followed Giuseppina’s details of conducting the chicken ceremony in the barn.…

    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. I hear a timer go off, an oven opening, a microwave beeping, barbeques grilling, and family talking. I taste all sorts of things such as turkey and prime rib, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, candy yams, mashed potatoes, and greens. I touch my fork and spoon, the glass full of water, my napkin, my plate, and my food. I sight, smell, hear, taste, and touch many things during my Thanksgiving dinner.…
