Bulletin avayii&tft©: "Aunt Sammy's Eadio Recipes." **# This morning, while I was thinking about roast turkey dinners, and what a lot of work it is to prepare holiday meal s, I was reminded of the big feasts which were served in the days of old, when knights and lords and ladies lived in merrie England, Do you know that they used to celebrate Christmas for two weeks, or more? The biggest feaSt of all came on Christmas day, when the feudal chieftain enter- tained all his friends. The boar's head was the main dish on the menu. All £ the "best people" served a boar's head at Christmas time. It was always carried to the banqueting hall on a gold or silver platter, by a special servant, amid the flourish of trumpets, and strains of minstrelsy. Next in importance to the boar's head was a peacock. The skin and feathers were first carefully removed, and the peacock was roasted. When it was done, the bird was sewed up again in all its gorgeous plumage, its beak was gilded, and itvasi/sent to the table. Only noble hands could serve this splendid dish. It was brought into the dining hall by the most distinguished and beautiful. • lady guest. She was followed by the rest of the ladies, and they entered the hall to the sounds of music. The dish was placed before the master of the house, or his most honored guest, who, no doubt, was'/ skillful with the carving knife, as he was with, the lance,' in joust or tournament.

  • THANKSGIVING TURKEY DINNER Things You Need to Know: Unpack Your Box, and Place Everything, Except Your Rolls, in the Refrigerator
    THANKSGIVING TURKEY DINNER Things you need to know: Unpack your box, and place everything, except your rolls, in the refrigerator. Remember to take everything out of the refrigerator an hour before you begin to cook, to let it come to room temperature. The black and gold container bottoms are microwave and oven safe, the lids are not. Do not let the containers touch the sides of the microwave. The entire dinner can be hot, and ready to serve in about 2¼ hours. Below, you will find a timeline with suggested reheating times, and methods. For the best results, we recommend that you cook everything in the oven, except the mashed potatoes. As oven temperatures and microwave powers vary, please keep an eye on everything; you do not want to overcook anything. For dinner at 6 o’clock, follow this timeline. 2:45 Remove the bird from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature. Open a nice bottle of wine. Begin sipping. 3:45 Turkey: simply remove from bag, leaving nylon truss on. Place in the roasting pan, along with all the juices, and heat at 325° for approximately 2 hours. Begin checking the temperature after 1½ hours. Your bird should be room temperature before reheating, and you should use a meat thermometer to see that the internal temperature is 160° before removing from the oven. Then let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. 5:25 Stuffing: take the lid off, and place stuffing in the oven. Cover tightly with foil for moister stuffing. For drier stuffing, leave uncovered until hot.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

  • Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving” by Judy Dow (Abenaki)
    Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving” by Judy Dow (Abenaki) What is it about the story of “The First Thanksgiving” that makes it essential to be taught in virtually every grade from preschool through high school? What is it about the story that is so seductive? Why has it become an annual elementary school tradition to hold Thanksgiving pageants, with young children dressing up in paper-bag costumes and feather-duster headdresses and marching around the schoolyard? Why is it seen as necessary for fake “pilgrims” and fake “Indians” (portrayed by real children, many of whom are Indian) to sit down every year to a fake feast, acting out fake scenarios and reciting fake dialogue about friendship? And why do teachers all over the country continue (for the most part, unknowingly) to perpetuate this myth year after year after year? Is it because as Americans we have a deep need to believe that the soil we live on and the country on which it is based was founded on integrity and cooperation? This belief would help contradict any feelings of guilt that could haunt us when we look at our role in more recent history in dealing with other indigenous peoples in other countries. If we dare to give up the “myth” we may have to take responsibility for our actions both concerning indigenous peoples of this land as well as those brought to this land in violation of everything that makes us human. The realization of these truths untold might crumble the foundation of what many believe is a true democracy.

  • Christmas Around the World What Is Christmas? Christmas Is a Religious Holiday Which Celebrates the Birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, on the 25Th December
    Christmas around the World What is Christmas? Christmas is a religious holiday which celebrates the birth of the son of God, Jesus Christ, on the 25th December. Although it is a Christian holiday, it is actually one that derives from a lot of Pagan traditions. The Christmas tree is a 17th century German invention that is said to have been developed from the Pagan practice of bringing greenery indoors for decoration in winter. Father Christmas is also thought to be a modern incarnation of old Pagan spirits flying through the sky in winter. Celebrations Christmas is celebrated by millions of people all over the world, Christian and non-Christian. It is a time of gathering with family and friends. There are some mostly universal traditions, such as decorating houses with lights, trees, candles and having a Christmas dinner. There are also some very unique traditions, specific to certain countries. For example, the people of India like to decorate their houses and streets with colourful, folded paper stars. The Polish serve a total of 12 dishes, one for each disciple, at their Christmas dinner and the Spanish leave out hay-filled boots or shoes at night so that, by the next morning, the hay would be replaced with chocolate, presents or money. In Ireland, the people like to light candles in the windows of their homes to act as a guide for Joseph and Mary to travel to their resting place. The candles are often red and decorated with sprigs of holly. Over in the West Indies, the people like to clean their homes thoroughly before decorating for Christmas.
