TURKEY COMA AND THE DAYS THAT FOLLOW

YUMMY!!!!

G'day Peeps, I have finally started to come out of the Turkey induced coma and started making the Turkey soup with all of the left over Turkey. One of the best things I love about Thanksgiving is the Turkey sandwich's for days and days afterword(Shara doesn't even really like turkey so more for me). But of course eating all of the turkey keeps me in a slight stage of unconsciousness! I hope all of you and your families enjoyed the time you shared together. Now it will be back to work on Monday and more turkey sandwich's for lunch!! Oh ya, hopefully you all took advantage of the sales that are going on this weekend and purchased my Christmas gift!!

FIRST THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, currently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give thanks to God.

The event that Americans commonly call the first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans. The feast consisted of fish (cod, eels, and bass) and shellfish (clams, lobster, and mussels), wild fowl (ducks, geese, swans, and turkey), venison, berries and fruit, vegetables (peas, pumpkin, beetroot and possibly, wild or cultivated onion), harvest grains (barley and wheat), and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY FROM ALL OF US HERE AT VEND NORTHWEST TO ALL OF YOU!!!!
