🌽 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🦃
One of the oldest spice mixes in the country, Bell’s dates back to 1867, when William F. Bell of Newton, Massachusetts created the blend from an old family recipe. Since then, nothing has changed…and come to think of it, neither has the box. Immediately recognizable with its colorful, (now) vintage looking label, lettering, and hand-drawn turkey, Bell’s is the throwback that never left.
We are considering having our family Thanksgiving in October next year, when the Canadians celebrate it, and call it Native American Thanksgiving. It makes more sense to have it at Harvest!
I have never tried Bell's Seasoning; maybe I will use it next year. I have been using substitutes for the chicken seasoning my mother and I used for decades, which seems to have disappeared. Thanks for the tip, listener. I agree that Canadian Thanksgiving Day is at a more reasonable time of year--not so close to Christmas. At your latitude, harvest home would be about the same time as in Upper Canada. If you are football fans, you might be close enough to get TV broadcasts of Canadian football to boot. (Hmmm....dating myself...these days most people get TV via cable, if not Internet. But antennae still work!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the china in the photo reminds me of the old pottery with thick uranium glazes--beautiful orange and yellow. My great aunt and uncle had some, I think. I have never seen the uranium glassware, just photos--it had a ghostly green fluorescence. Most of the radiation is alpha rays, which have a range in air of only one or two cm as memory serves me.

ReplyDeleteHappy turkey day. We are having filet with mushroom gravy. Yesterday we took a boat ride up the Little Satilla River. I made a little video and posted both on Hannah Blog and on Facebook as Sidney Lanier. The latter was supposed to be ahort for the Sidney Lanier Environmental Advocacy Team (SLEAT) before I realized that groups coukd register under a different format.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, coastal Georgia is a unique, still somewhat wild place, which is part of the Coastal Barrier Resource Area, a designation that precludes flood insurance and is supposed to discourage building. Of course, the money bags that come here have dollars to waste.
Neat! My ipad can do what my laptop can't. Happy Day!

The festive bird is about ready to come out of the oven; then the extra stuffing goes in, and the gravy gets started.

A nice side dish: Mike Flynn evidently gives up and turns states evidence. [Click]
