How To Have Your First Thanksgiving I, not being used to cooking at all, let alone cooking for the whole family atthe holidays, got involved in a All in all, we had a great thanksgiving. http://www.geocities.com/pepperpot_wink/thanksgiving.htm
Extractions: Since my sister and I live together, and my brother lives in the same town, we decided to invite our parents to our house for Thanksgiving last year. It was the first time we had planned Thanksgiving from start to finish. We made a lot of mistakes, and we wanted to share them in the hopes that no one else would make the same mistakes! How to have your first Thanksgiving We did do one thing right, (at least I think so), we had our first Thanksgiving while we were still single (essentially). We only had our folks and ourselves to worry about; we didn't have crying kids, crazy in-laws to appease, or distant relatives to entertain. We only had to figure out how to prepare, cook and serve the meal. 1. Defrost your turkey days in advance. I wont tell you how we did it, because Im afraid youd all get salmonella, and I dont want to get sued. Suffice to say, put that turkey in the fridge and then call your mom, dad, nearest adult relative, or (as I did) ask your co-workers how they defrost their turkey. We brought our turkey home three days before Thanksgiving, and I put it in the freezer. I didnt think about it, I just put it away! It was huge, and I wanted it out of the way! Once I found out (at work) that I should have already been defrosting the thing in the fridge, I panicked and I was afraid we would have to serve a big block of iced turkey. 2. Decide the menu a week in advance. We decided two days in advance (which we thought was great). However, our parents decided to take a vacation on the way to see us, and were not only out of pocket half the time, but (since they werent at home), couldnt get the recipes we needed to prepare our traditional Thanksgiving side dishes. We had to wing it. Make sure you can get those recipes, better yet, ask your family for them now, and put them someplace special. Youll want those later, and its a big hassle to spend half the holidays on the phone. We know! When our parents had their cell phones turned on, we were calling them! I think they accidentally shut them off, just to have a few moments of peace and quiet!

Extractions: The Two Towers To prepare a festive Thanksgiving meal that bolsters health and weight goals instead of undermining them, the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) recommends more plant-based food than animal-based food at both the cooking and serving stages. In the pot and on the plate, a healthy, holiday proportion is two-thirds (or more) vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans to one-third (or less) animal protein. According to Melanie Polk, AICR's Director of Nutrition Education, "With a few simple cooking techniques, traditional Thanksgiving dishes can be made more health protective, more moderate in fat and calories, and still great tasting. Instead of preparing a stuffing with sausage or turkey giblets," says Polk, "increase the proportion of plant-based foods by using dried fruits - apples or apricots, for instance - and chestnuts or other nuts. They provide great flavor and crunchy texture, plus antioxidants and other substances that protect against cancer and other chronic diseases." Another example is the traditional dish of baked sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants. Unfortunately, their natural rich taste is often overwhelmed in traditional holiday dishes by excessive amounts of butter, cream and sugary ingredients. "To heighten the sweet potato's flavor and sweetness," Polk suggests, "add apples, which contain quercetin, an especially powerful antioxidant, to boost health protection."

More black-eyed peas and collards are consumed on that day than any other time of the yearpart of an antique gastronomic insurance policy. Collards are for a steady supply of folding green in the coming year; black-eyed peas for plenty of pocket change. Hoppin' John is a sort of jambalaya with a light touch. Do not stew the different elements into a homogeneous mush. Each pea, grain of rice, chunk of tomato, and piece of scallion should retain its individual identity, flavor, and texture. 2 cups (475 ml) cooked Black-eyed Peas

Extractions: What's Cooking There are always Christmas movies every year, but not many Thanksgiving movies. What's Cooking is Gurinder Chadha's attempt to fix this problem not once, but four times. The movie is Chadha's ode to Thanksgiving and multiculturalism, focusing on four Los Angeles families; a Mexican, African-American, Vietnamese, and Jewish family. The purpose is to show that for all the cultural differences that exist, each family is basically the same. The effect works in varying degrees from family to family, mainly because of individual situations that sometimes border on the histrionic. Otherwise, What's Cooking follows in the tradition of movies like Woman on Top Soul Food , and Eat Drink Man Woman as movies that sumptuously display the preparation and serving of delicious looking food. The Williams's are an upscale African-American family. Ronald (Dennis Haysbert, Love and Basketball Random Hearts ) works for the governor. He lives the yuppie life with wife Audrey (Alfre Woodard, Mumford
Extractions: Thanksgiving is a patriotic holiday based on a tradition that began over 350 years ago, when Pilgrims and Native Americans sat down together for a meal of thanks. It's a celebration of history and of faith....a day to gather with family and friends to give thanks for our many blessings. Since the first celebration of the bountiful harvest in 1621, Thanksgiving is a day food and feasting.

Thanksgiving Turkey Tips I've always found thanksgiving can be overwhelming especially ifyou're cooking for a large crowd. Growing up, my mom worked so http://www.reluctantgourmet.com/turkey_tips.htm
Extractions: Talking Turkey With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought you might enjoy talking turkey including some tips on choosing a bird and how to cook it. You would think cooking a turkey is not that big a deal but looking at all the articles in the current November issues of cooking magazines, you are suddenly faced with a whole bunch of choices. For example, first you have to decide what kind of turkey you're going to buy - fresh, frozen, free-range, natural, self-basting, kosher, with or without a pop-up thermometer. Then you have to decide how to cook it - roast, grill, barbeque, covered, uncovered, breast up, breast down, feet first, brined, stuffed, how long, what temperature, so on and so on. When I was a kid back in the 60's, I don't remember having that many choices, at least I didn't think we did. My mom bought a great big frozen turkey at our local supermarket. We did have a local butcher where she bought most of our meat and cold cuts, (I used to love when the butcher handed us kids a slice of rolled up baloney) but I don't remember her buy our Thanksgiving turkey there. I can tell you one thing. It wasn't a self-baster pumped up with water and oil and it sure didn't have a pop-up thermometer.
