  "Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." — W.T. Purkiser

Turkey With All The Trimmings
Remarkable how such a simple phrase can evoke an image of festive foods gracing a table surrounded with loved ones and friends. Dishes that put the biggest smiles on guests' faces are often recipes handed down from the family kitchen for generations. This Thanksgiving, CSR's owner and director, Joan Brett, is sharing her classic holiday favorites. Prepare your meal entirely from these recipes, or choose individual dishes to weave into your own personalized feast.

Food Trivia

The term "cornucopia" means what?

Answer:
Horn of plenty. It is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the 5th Century BC, also referred to as Horn of Amalthea. In Greek mythology, Amalthea raised Zeus on the milk of a goat. In return Zeus gave Amalthea the goat's horn. It had the power to give to the person in possession of it whatever he or she wished for. This gave rise to the legend of the cornucopia.
