Three Day Until Thanksgiving

In 2007 Thanksgiving is on November 22nd and the spirit of celebration is at its peak. I just can't express what's going on in my heart when I think that Thanksgiving is only 3 days away and I'm going to have a real blast this holidays with my gang. By now I'm sure you've prepared yourself with all your plans and ingredients for the Thanksgiving dinner. Let's talk about something different this time. What about the national thanksgiving turkey name? I'm sure you guys know that each year a name is given to the national Thanksgiving turkey, which is chosen by online voting at the Thanksgiving page of the White House Website.

Thanksgiving 2007 is going to mark it 60th anniversary of National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation and I hope that It's going to rock. This year the National Thanksgiving Turkeys are from Duboi, Indiana under the direction of Ted Seger, the Chairman of National Turkey Federation. Anyway, can you guess what's going to be the name of the thanksgiving turkey this year? Just visit the Thanksgiving page of the White House Website and vote for a name. I've voted for Jake and Tom. You just need to wait until November 20th, when President Bush will be announcing the winning names in the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation. So, no more delay!! Who knows, President Gorge Bush may announce the name that you are going to vote!! All the best.

Prevention Tips For Thanksgiving Turkey Bird Flu

According to the report as laid by the American Turkey Council, the chances of getting avian flu by eating Thanksgiving turkey are "probably less than one in four." That means two out of a group of eight would probably be afflicted to the disease. Don't worry! This was the story of Thanksgiving 2005 -- you might not have forgot.

According to poultry experts in the College of Agricultural Sciences, we don't have to worry about avian flu virus this Thanksgiving in America. So that's one more reason for us to be thankful this year. But the story doesn't end here. Avian flu has been observed in birds on the other continents, although it isn't the thing for us, said Mike Hulet, associate professor of poultry science. So Why taking chance? Let's play safe. Here are some tips to avoid being affected with the Thanksgiving Turkey Bird Flu.

One single tip is to cook your turkeys properly. Gregory Martin, an extension poultry educator in Lancaster County and the other food safety experts recommended that the temperature should be:

  • 180 degrees in the thigh.
  • 165 degrees at the center of the stuffing.
  • 170 degrees in the breast
If you really want to extend your menu with some of the special turkey recipes, visit eatturkey.com.

I hope this simple tips will help make your Thanksgiving a real blast.

Sweet Potato Casserole For Thanksgiving Feast: Free of Allergen

I just dropped by A Homemaking Journey, when I came to know that Shiloah and Dawn have recently been diagnosed with food allergies. I was thinking of some of the cool recipes for those who are suffering from food allergies. Here's one of them. This is slightly less sweet version of the the traditional sweet potato casserole and you can try this out to make your Thanksgiving a perfect blast.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 medium sized sweet potatoes
  • Brown sugar -- 2/3 cup
  • Orange juice -- 1 cup
  • Salt – as per requirement
  • Allspice -- 1 tea spoon full
  • Nutmeg -- 1/2 tea spoon full
  • Allergen-free marshmallows for topping
Direction:
Step 1 – Start off with oiling the skin of the potatoes and pierce them in several places.
Step 2 – Roast the potatoes at 400o F until the potatoes become soft and you can see oil caramelizing in the pierced areas.
Step 3 – When cooked fully, let them cool down to room temperature and peal off the skin to get the flesh out.
Step 4 – Add the orange juice, brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice and a couple of pinch of salt in a casserole dish.
Step 5 – Stir the mixture well and mash the sweet potato chunks with a fork. Smooth the whole mixture evenly throughout the casserole dish.
Step 6 -- Top the whole surface with a layer of marshmallows.
Step 7 – Cover it up and bake it for 20 minutes.
Step 8 – Put another layer of marshmallows toppings and bake it for 10 minutes more at 350o F. When the marshmallows topping begins to turn golden-brown and melt take it out and serve hot.

Have a fun filled Thanksgiving 2007.

Thanksgiving Countdown -- Eight Days Away

I am sure you can't resist the temptation to roast turkeys now. At least for me it's true, since Thanksgiving is only eight days away. If you've planned to arrange for a thanksgiving feast for your friends, it's the right time make some arrangement ahead of time.

  • Make an advance payment of at least 50% for the turkeys. You might find to be harder to find the desired quantity right on Thanksgiving day or the day before.
  • Shop for some of the most important ingredients like heavy cream, butternuts squash etc.
  • Shop for the non perishable ingredients such as sugar, corn syrup, flour, brown sugar, canned pumpkin, packaged stuffing etc, so that you wont make a mess in haste.
  • Order or pick up the wines and other beverages according to your need, before the crowd sets out. Remember that a bottle of wine contains about five glasses. Also don't forget to have a non-alcoholic drink choices on hand.
  • Dig out your turkey roaster and the special serving plates that are in your closets. Clean them and try out a turkey roast in small amount for your family. So you know whether your roaster is working well.
  • Spare a thought on sending special Thanksgiving wishes to your near and dear ones. You can reach out to those who are staying miles away with your warmth of presence on the Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving Turkey Low in Stock in Food Bank!

With Thanksgiving approaching fast, I am sure you're ready to roast your thanksgiving turkeys. But have you ever spared a thought about the down trodden section of the turkey population? Kate Lombardo, the Executive Director of Food Bank says that Food Bank Lower Fairfield County in Connecticut is running a shortage of turkeys for this Thanksgiving. While the food Bank had 1400 turkey at this time in 2006, this year it has only five turkeys on November 2nd in the late afternoon to distribute to needy families for Thanksgiving. “Oil is up”, said Lombardo and with this slumping economy the past donors are not as generous this year. With the present stock of only 5 turkeys the agency has to go a long way to meet the need of 3000 turkeys for Thanksgiving 2007.

If your are in Connecticut area you can take some noble steps to donate some turkeys in order to scale up the stock level. Please contact Kate Lombardo(Executive Director, Food Bank), at klombardo@sbcglobal.net or call (203) 358-8898.

Let me wish all the best to Lombardo and her agency.

Counting Down To Thanksgiving -- Three Weeks

Friends! Just three weeks more to grill the Thanksgiving turkey. It's really becoming tougher and tougher for me to resist my temptation for the roasted turkey on the Trukey Day.

If you've already prapared the Thanksgiving budget, then it's for sure that you have also chalked out the Thanksgiving dinner plan or Thanksgiving party plan. Whether you know it or not, it's now the perfect time to spare a thought over the Thanksgiving Invitation issue. Otherwise you will be too late and may end up with mess in haste, when it comes to the Turkey Day. Just follow a few simple steps to mark a name of yourself in the hearts of your special Thanksgiving guests.

  • Decide how many people you can afford. Considering your pre-formulated budget and the space are of utmost importance.
  • Make a list of the guests that you want to invite to join you at your Thanksgiving feast.
  • Decide whether you want to include kids in your Thanksgiving party or adults only. If you are going to invite kids you may have to be very selective regarding fooda nd make necessary arrangements for some games and fun.
  • As soon as you've prepared the list, give it a second glance as you may want to exclude somebody or replace somebody with any other person.
  • Spare a thought on Thanksgiving invitation cards. This is the most neglected part of the story, despite of its immense importance. No point wasting time and money in making your own invitation cards, since it's a good idea to invite people online using the pre-designed invitation ecards.
  • Choose the one that suits your Thanksgiving celebration theme and see what wonder you can make by this.

Pumpkin Scarcity Pulls Up Pumpkin Price

The pumpkin scarcity will be giving a hard blow to Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. The drought and the scorching heat has adversely affected the pumpkin harvest this year. So the supply is not going the meet the 2007 demand level for pumpkins. If you are a real pumpkin fan, I'm sure that you'll not mind paying some extra dollars for special thanksgiving dinner. But again there's a good chance that you may be disappointed if you're looking for pumpkins after Halloween. This is because a huge lot of pumpkins would be exhausted on Halloween. Pumpkin patch owners are going to out source pumpkins to meet the demand. So don't worry .. just loosen up your budget a bit.

Thanksgiving Sales – The Big Deal

There's a good news folks. Wal-Mart is planning to promote the “Black Friday” pricing weeks just before the Thanksgiving. If you are looking for the items like laptop or a digital camera, wait for a while but you don't have to wait until the Thanksgiving holiday!

Over 10,000 such items were promoted by Wal-Mart on Thanksgiving sales just before Thanksgiving 2006. The response was really huge. The quality was also really up to the mark. I know some of my friends who purchased things on the Thanksgiving sales 2006. They were really satisfied.

I can say for sure that this will be a real great deal for you. Black Friday Sale 2007 will be exactly like the last year's promotion that the company made on “Black Friday”. Happy shopping!
