Thanksgiving Day is upon us. What is your favorite food on the dinner table?
Thanksgiving Day has been celebrated for centuries here in America. The holiday dates back to 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared a harvest feast that has long been acknowledged as the first Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. The first Thanksgiving meal included wild turkey, waterfowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin and squash. Some of those foods continue to be Thanksgiving staples, but over time, the meal has evolved. So tell us, Patch readers, what is your favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner? Cast your vote in the poll below!
How to brine a turkey for this Thanksgiving. A turkey takes time and effort, but results in a moist and flavorful bird. In this how to guide, we walk you through all the steps to brine a turkey this holiday season.
“Brining” has always been the secret method that chefs use to make a moist and flavorful baked turkey. Many years ago I asked a chef why her turkey meat tasted so good, and she led me back to the kitchen’s large, walk-in cooler filled with birds soaking in a fragrant bath. I immediately got her recipe. But what is brining? There are two types: wet and dry. Dry brining is simply rubbing a turkey in a salt and herb mixture and letting it sit (refrigerated of course) for many hours (usually about one hour per pound).

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here's some arts-flavored trivia about famous Thanksgiving movie and television scenes. Can you figure them out?
There are some movies that have holiday dinners you'd be thrilled to be a part of, and some you'd be relieved to never have to see again. Every bit of the "Christmas Vacation" dinner is pretty brutal to watch even before Chevy Chase cuts into a gross, flatulent turkey. But a chance to sit down and eat and drink with the Big T from "The Sopranos" could be interesting as long as you don't make him angry. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Patch has assembled some trivia questions for those of you that like movies and television as much as you like turkey. The answers will be posted on Friday, along with as many Thanksgiving-flavored YouTube clips that can be assembled. Leave your answers in the comments, along with your favorite pop culture …

One mother writes in frustration about the number of school days District 65 students have off, saying that creates hassle for working parents.
Superintendent Murphy, I am one of many parents that see with GREAT FRUSTRATION that our local school system continuously take extra days off (like the day Before Thanksgiving) and frequent partial school days, with TOTAL DISREGARD for the fact that many of us are hard working parents, and that in many cases both parents need to work full time to make ends meet, and to comply with the increasing local taxes imposed by local entities like the school districts. You could argue that the calendar system is not under your direct control, but I sincerely hope that you could make school administrators aware of this growing concern, specially at times when they make decisions on raising even more our local taxes in order to cover Pension and …

Worth to notice: I NEVER received a response from Superintendent Murply, or anyone from his office, regarding this issue, even though I sent directly to him this message by email. I wonder is somebody is listening up there!.... Dr. Fargo. more ›
