Thanksgiving Tips

	No kitchen twine to truss the turkey? Use unwaxed, unflavored dental floss.

Thanksgiving Poem

Thanksgiving Time

Author Unknown

When all the leaves are off the boughs,

And nuts and apples gathered in,

And cornstalks waiting for the cows,

And pumpkins safe in barn and bin,

Then Mother says, "My children dear,

The fields are brown, and autumn flies;

Thanksgiving Day is very near,

And we must make thanksgiving pies!"
