FROM OUR EDITOR'S
DESK |
 Hello!
Happy Thanksgiving to
you and your family!
With every year that I
get older, I find that
time passes faster and
faster, after all it
seems like just
yesterday we were
welcoming the spring,
and now here we are
getting ready for the
big feast ahead.
We had a perfect
Canadian Thanksgiving
and I am now looking
forward to celebrating
the American tradition
later this month.
Because of other
obligations, Amy and I
won't be doing the usual
large gathering of
friends and family this
year, instead opting to
just spend it quietly
together. But don't
think for a moment that
is going to stop us from
cooking the feast - it
just means more food for
us! We'll be having
turkey and my all time
favorites - my own
recipe for homemade
cornbread stuffing and
Amy's homemade cranberry
sauce! Cornbread
stuffing and cranberry
sauce are just so
perfect with turkey and
gravy that when I don't
get them (especially
Amy's sauce),
Thanksgiving just isn't
the same!
Speaking of
turkey and
dressing,
Amy and I
want to send
a special
congratulations
to two of
our
neighbors,
friends, and
Ottawa's
finest,
Denis and
Jo-Lynn, who
just tied
the knot on
October 21st
(they served
a darn fine
turkey at
the
reception,
hence the
turkey
tie-in!).
They are two
of the
kindest,
most
upstanding
people we
know, and
their
wedding was
absolutely
beautiful!
They were
fortunate
enough to be
able to
bring or
have most of
their family
and friends
from the
Canadian
Maritimes
come to the
ceremony,
and let me
tell you,
those are
some amazing
people who
truly know
the meaning
of
happiness,
the
importance
of family
and friends,
and how to
have a good
time. All
the best you
guys and
here's to a
long and
loving
future!
Finally,
as long
as we
are on
the
topic of
happy
couples,
I want
to be a
bit
selfish
and take
a moment
to say
happy
anniversary
to my
wonderful
wife,
Amy. We
will be
celebrating
number 9
on the
21st of
this
month,
and
without
any
question
or
doubt, I
would
gladly
do it
all over
again.
I'm not
always
so sure
she
would
though.
As my
friends
say, to
be
married
to me
she must
be the
most
patient
woman on
earth!
Well, if
nothing
else, I
do keep
things
interesting
for her.
Have
a great
month
and
thanks
for
reading.
Stay
warm,
stay
safe,
and get
festive!

What's in this
month's issue...
While looking for an
article that went
outside the usual
Thanksgiving and
holiday topics, I
ran across a great
sentiment that made
me stop and think
about what
Thanksgiving really
means. Hopefully,
this month's article
will help bring
back some of the
perspective that
many of us have
forgotten when we
think of what being
thankful really
means, regardless of
where or when you
celebrate it!
Because I love it so
much and it is one
of the most
requested items at
our holiday table, I
had to share my
cornbread
stuffing recipe
with you. It takes a
bit of time to put
together, but in the
end, it is the
perfect holiday
side-dish for
turkey, beef, goose,
duck, and virtually
any other entree you
are serving.
Once you get
everyone
gathered at the
table, a toast
is always
appropriate to
show a heartfelt
welcome to your
table, as well
as to kick off
the eating and
festivities.
This month's
"did you
know"
is a collection
of famous and
traditional
quotes about
Thanksgiving
that'll help you
find that
perfect way to
start off your
toast when
expressing your
sentiments to
your guests and
family!

NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF FOOD

 Importance
of Thanksgiving
By David
Leonhardt
Thanksgiving is
the most important holiday of the year.
Oh, sure,
Christmas is grand, and I know it has
many, many fans. I'm not knocking
Christmas, but Thanksgiving is more
important. And Easter has its fans, too.
Rebirth is a wonderful thing, but I
still say Thanksgiving is more
important. Yes, the kids might put in a
good word for Halloween. I am sure they
enjoy the costumes and the sugar
overdose, but Thanksgiving is more
important...

 The
Top 25 Thanksgiving Quotations
By Danielle
Hollister
"It is
therefore recommended ... to set
apart Thursday the eighteenth day of
December next, for solemn
thanksgiving and praise, that with
one heart and one voice the good
people may express the grateful
feelings of their hearts and
consecrate themselves to the service
of their divine benefactor ..."
-- Samuel Adams, father of the
American Revolution on November 1,
1777 (adopted by the 13 states as
the first official Thanksgiving
Proclamation)
"Gratitude
is the sign of noble souls."
-- Aesop's Fables
"Thanksgiving is possible only
for those who take time to
remember; no one can give thanks
who has a short memory."
-- Anonymous
