Thanksgiving for the USA is this Thursday.

Many folks have either the entire week off or most of the week off beginning on Wednesday.

For those not in the USA or not familiar with it, it's the day we celebrate 132 Europeans arriving in North America on the ship The Mayflower in 1620 at what is now Massachusetts and being welcomed by the local Indian tribes and having the very "First Thanksgiving" dinner.

At the "First Thanksgiving" in October 1621 the Pilgrims and Native Americans (Wampanoag tribe) likely ate a meal consisting of venison (deer brought by the Native Americans), wildfowl (including possibly turkey), various types of seafood like lobster, mussels, and fish, corn, beans, squash, and local fruits and nuts, with little resemblance to the modern Thanksgiving meal which includes dishes like mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie; there's no record of a large roasted turkey being served at the time.

Somewhere along the way since 1621, someone decided the turkey is to become the National Thanksgiving dinner.

Turkey became a traditional part of Thanksgiving dinner for a number of reasons, including:

Plentiful - Turkeys were plentiful in New England, where they were often given to soldiers during the Civil War.

Cheap -Turkeys were inexpensive.

Big enough to feed a family - Turkeys were large enough to feed a family, making them a popular choice for large gatherings.

Raised for meat - Turkeys were raised primarily for their meat, unlike cows and hens, which were useful for milk and eggs.

I think home cooking is going to be extinct one day.  I bet people can't wait to be able to hydrate a pizza.

Just finished watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade from Houston. At least it is not raining like it is in NY.

Traveled out of town visiting family for Thanksgiving. Even found out my bro will be getting in later today from MN.
