Turkey Day
thanksgiving day is our national holiday that commemorates the 1st harvest
the pilgrims had in the new world and how thankful they were to still be alive. the indians are supposed to have brought food to the pilgrims thereby showing no hostility toward them. it has become a day for us to thank God (or if one doesn't believe, whoever provides the good life one has) for our homes, loved ones and way of life. turkey is a native bird here, supposed to have been one of the foods the pilgrims ate on the first thanksgiving day and a staple of the early american diet. ben franklin, one of our founding fathers, wanted the turkey to be our national bird because of its economic importance and its delicious flavor, but the american bald eagle won the contest. there are times that i wish the turkey had won because of the eagles warring qualities. oh well. not my choice. mad -- "The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."

FYI not even close w/ the turkey ;) Plymouth plantation is on the coast, not inland, so seafood was a staple food. they've had many specials on FoodTV channel about the real foods served. Venison, rabbit, eels, clams, scallops, lobsters, root veggies, corn and a few other delights were at the orig. feasts. interesting huh???? "Popcorn" was also introduced to the pilgrams via the Wampanoag Indians, they put honey on it, so they invented the basics of "caramel corn" lol The Plantation/Fort is still there and if your ever in Boston or Prov. area its a really cool trip along w/ seeing the orig. (replica) Mayflower. p.s. I live less than an hr. away from the Plymouth plantation and have been there many many times :) ben franklin, one of our founding fathers, wanted the turkey to be our national bird because of its economic importance and its delicious flavor, but the american bald eagle won the contest. there are times that i wish the turkey had won because of the eagles warring qualities. oh well. not my choice. mad -- -- http://www.kencofish.com Ken Arnold, 401-781-9642 cell 401-225-0556 Importer/Exporter of Goldfish,Koi,rare Predators Shipping to legal states/countries only!

Sorry to ask a daft question, but living in the UK, I have no idea what
Thanksgiving Day is all about! Could someone please enlighten me? http://view.greetings.yahoo.com/gree...?AVNEYGJ6AZ834 Note no women cartoon characters located at the above website. ;o) Check that out, only the traditional dish is turkey, mash potatoes w/gravy, sweet potatoes/yams, other veggies or fruit dishes, pumpkin pie. From this woman's point of view it's a day I work for 6 hrs. in the kitchen and end up cheated, as by the time I get to sit down, my guests all have to "hit the road". s ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

Only 6 hours?? That is All the time you spend in the kitchen on
Thanksgiving Day?? How lucky you are (or Unlucky). I make a motion you hang out with R. Rhudy - lol two of a kind .. Btw, I learned the Thanksgiving story same as 'mad' did ....

You still have that chip on your shoulder? I thought you'd gotten over it,
my mistake. Course I never have figured out what it was. You missed my point, (but snipers usually do when they're just waiting to shoot you down) that being, my complaint wasn't about my time in the kitchen, but I got cheated of the time with my relatives. Take your BTUs off Nedra, and give me a break, if not, let's take it to e-mail. ~ jan Only 6 hours?? That is All the time you spend in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day??

Sorry to ask a daft question, but living in the UK, I have no idea what Thanksgiving Day is all about! Could someone please enlighten me? Have a good one anyway:-)) It's a drunken, uproarious celebration commemorating our freedom from England. No, just kidding! :) To most Americans, Thanksgiving is a chance to offer thanks for the bounty of our land, and for our family, friends, and health. It's our second most important holiday, after Christmas. Bob |

Thanksgiving can sometimes be mistaken for *Christmas Part One* at least by retail establishments. And Halloween is *Pre~Christmas*. ;-) ka30p http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

Does that make New's Years *Post-Christmas* or is that the whole week after
Christmas, sell before inventory? ~ jan Thanksgiving can sometimes be mistaken for *Christmas Part One* at least by retail establishments.
