Thanksgiving

It's my biggest fear for Thanksgiving: Having people over for a dinner where I cooked the turkey, then getting calls later on from my guests who are now in the fetal position because I didn't cook it properly. Luckily that has never happened to me, maybe it's because I often refer to these guidelines.

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, the time is right for some free family fun with the City of Duluth Parks and Recreation department at the Essentia Duluth Heritage Center.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 22 and the College of St. Scholastic will once again present the free Thanksgiving Day Buffet to feed around 5,000 area people in need.

Turkey -- it's the centerpiece of many a Thanksgiving dinner. It's also quite the industry.

When it comes time to talk turkey this Thanksgiving, you may want to make sure you *only* talk turkey.

The Holy Family Catholic Church is offering a free Thanksgiving Feast a few days early.

It would seem that Minnesota is a major player when it comes to the turkey economy in the United States.

Let's face it, Thanksgiving is the only holiday that is really all about food. You eat so much that all you can do is sit on the couch and take a break... until desert comes. And you somehow find room for a slice of some sort of pie. Don't worry, we all do it.

There have been some historic combinations over the course of time, such as peanut butter and chocolate, and Lenny and Squiggy. The City of Duluth has created another amazing combination: Turkey Bowling and Ice Skating.

Thanksgiving, a time to gather around the table, to give thanks for your family, your friends and for all the good things you have in your life. And for some, it's all about the shopping.
