Thanksgiving Day

​​​​​​         Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia, and the sub-national entities Leiden, Norfolk Island, and Puerto Rico. It began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.

      Tender, juicy roast turkey - the main attraction - with old-fashioned gravy, cranberry sauce, smashed potatoes, baked green beans, sweet and sour cod, steamed rice, achara (pickled green papaya relish), leche flan, pig in a blanket, apple crisp (from Yucaipa!), punch and 365 (that's a brand name) soda from Whole Foods!
