Dearest FReeper-Patriots, FRiends and Readers!

After yesterday, should I dare to go with my beloved Navy blue font again? I think I figured out the problem. (Fingers crossed).

Happy Thanksgiving Day-Eve!
I reckon y'all are busy with last minute errands, cooking preparations and maybe travel plans. If you're traveling by car, God be with you, please be safe, and watch out for the other drivers! As for yours truly, I have two quickly defrosting turkey breasts (bone in) that I must tend to some time today. Yikes.

I'm posting this thread a little later than usual, because Jim has an appointment with his doctor this morning. The appointment is a check-up with blood work. Remember he was anemic, so thank you ALL for your continued prayers. We're hoping and praying for wonderful news upon his return and also hoping he's met with several donations from you all!

Last night, a very generous "anonymous FReeper," donated $500 and challenged five (5) FReepers to each donate $100.00!! FReeper theneanderthal from Florida met the challenge, and also joined Our 300 Club so now we have 185 Donations this quarter of $100 or more!! As of this writing there are four (4) more openings for "anonymous FReeper's" challenge! If you can, please meet this challenge today!!

FReeper I_be_tc donates $100 per quarter and challenges 300 other FReepers to do the same. If you donate $100 or more per quarter, please let Jim know, so we can add your name to the “300 Club Roster!” If we can get 300 members sending in a $100 or more per quarter, our fundraisers will run much faster!

Our New Monthly Donor Campaign is in Round #6! FIFTY-ONE ( 51 ) FReepers have signed up to Donate Monthly and Twelve ( 12 ) FReepers are New $1-A-Day & More Donors!!!

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

While no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer.
Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts,
which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations.

Thanksgiving
The green bean casserole was first created in 1955 by the Campbell Soup Company.
Dorcas Reilly led the team that created the recipe while working as a staff member in the home economics department. The inspiration for the dish was "to create a quick and easy recipe around two things most Americans always had on hand in the 1950s: green beans and Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup.”
In 2002, Reilly presented the original recipe card to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio.

Though New England had a great abundance of wildlife and seafood, traditional East Anglian fare was preferred, even if it had to be made with New World ingredients.
Baked beans and pease porridge were everyday fare, particularly during the winter, and usually eaten with coarse, dark bread. At first it was made with a mixture of wheat and maize (corn), but after a disease called wheat rust struck in the 1660s, it was made of rye and maize, creating what has later been known as "rye 'n' injun".
Vegetables with meat boiled thoroughly was a popular dish, and unlike many other regions in North American colonies, they were cooked together, rather than separately, and frequently without seasoning.
Baking was a particular favorite of the New Englanders and was the origin of dishes today seen as quintessentially American, such as apple pie and the baked Thanksgiving turkey.

Thanksgiving
In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”—although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time—the festival lasted for three days.

Thanksgiving
Americans commonly trace the Thanksgiving holiday to a 1621 celebration at the Plymouth Plantation, where the Plymouth settlers held a harvest feast after a successful growing season. Autumn or early winter feasts continued sporadically in later years, first as an impromptu religious observance, and later as a civil tradition.

Squanto, a Patuxent Native American who resided with the Wampanoag tribe, taught the Pilgrims how to catch eel and grow corn and served as an interpreter for them (Squanto had learned English during travels in England). Additionally the Wampanoag leader Massasoit had donated food stores to the fledgling colony during the first winter when supplies brought from England were insufficient.

Early on I noticed her apparel changed markedly depending on who would be seeing her

She wore ghetto black for US citizens yet looked rich for others.
