Every family has their own traditions. When it comes to Thanksgiving, turkey, stuffi ng, potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce and

relatives (both wanted and unwanted) are usu-ally central to the celebration. But what would a Thanksgiving celebration be without giving thanks? Snippetz looks into the array of tradi-tions Thanksgiving brings for people around the country.

THANKSGIVING DAYORIGINS

We all know the story about the Pil-grims who sailed from Europe to the new World in search of religious free-dom. Their ship, the Mayfl ower set sail on Sept. 6, 1620. After weeks of travel, they reached land at Plymouth Rock in present-day Massachusetts.

During the winter following their col-onization in North America, the Pil-grims were hit hard by harsh weather. It is said that nearly half of the original colonists died during that winter. The help of a Native American tribe, the Wampanoag, provided the Pilgrims with the know-how to survive. They learned to fi sh, hunt and grow crops like corn and pumpkins.

The autumn of 1621 brought a boun-tiful harvest and William Bradford, the Governor of the colony, wanted a way to show thanks for the crops and for the help the Native American tribes provided. He organized a three-day celebration to include a feast with a va-riety of wild game such as geese, ducks and venison, as well as different grains like corn and barley. Games, races and general shenanigans followed.

Thanksgiving days were proclaimed at various times over the next several years. Once it was in response to rain after a severe drought. Another time,

it was for a period of good fortune the Pilgrims experienced. It’s said that around 1789, President George Wash-ington declared a day of thanks which caught on in several cities and states. These locations often celebrated in the fall. However, apparently not everyone was on board since times were still very tough for a good portion of the nation.

Eventually the idea spread to other parts of the country and by the time of the Civil War, it is said that it was very popular. The offi cial designation of a “day of thanks” came around the end of 1863 by President Lincoln who assigned it to the last Thursday of No-vember. In 1941, the day became an offi cial national holiday as declared by Congress.

WHERE’S THE TURKEY?Arguably, the most notable tradition of Thanksgiving is the main course: tur-key. While it isn’t clear whether or not the original Thanksgiving Day includ-ed turkey, mainly because the Pilgrims used the term “turkey” to describe any kind of wild fowl, it has certainly be-come a staple in modern times.

But what about all those ducks and

chickens who want a piece of the ac-tion? Thanks to Louisiana, those par-ticular birds can have a special place at the Thanksgiving table too, if you so desire, as part of a Turducken. A Tur-ducken is a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken. Nothing beats a bird inside a bird inside a bird.

West Coast dwellers might not see a turkey at all on Thanksgiving. Dunge-ness crab season starts in early Novem-ber, making it a likely alternative. Or perhaps you’ll just rub your turkey in coffee as they sometimes do in Hawaii. Or what about deep fried turkey? The popularity of that particular method has risen in recent years, although be warned: about 1,000 fi res are started each year due to deep fried turkey in-cidents.

BLUE 42, SET, HIKE!The fi rst intercollegiate football game to be held on Thanksgiving Day was in 1876. The fi rst National Football League game to take place on Thanks-giving was in 1934 and featured the Chicago Bears battling the Detroit Li-ons. The Lions have made it a tradition of playing a game on this same holiday ever since, with the exception of a six-season gap between 1939 and 1944, compliments of the second World War.

The only other team to routinely play on Thanksgiving is the Dallas Cow-boys, who began their tradition in 1966,

missing only the years 1975 and 1977.

YOU AIN’T NOTHINGBUT A HOUND DOG…

In several states including North and South Carolina, Virginia, Thanksgiving Day means it’s time for “The Blessing of The Hounds.” This tradition, dating as far back as the seventh century, is said to bless the hound dogs used in a fox hunt before they are turned loose.

According to folklore, Saint Hubert, who prior to being deemed a saint is said to have been a bit on the ornery side, had a spiritual revelation one morning before he set out on a hunt. Subsequently, he is said to have dedi-cated his life to God and developed the tradition of blessing the hounds before they set out on their hunt.

This tradition was fi rst brought to the United States on Oct. 1, 1927. Mrs. Walter C. White is credited with its in-troduction, having borrowed the idea from France.

I JUST WANT TO SAY “THANKS”

Bottom line: Thanksgiving Day is about giving thanks for what you have. Many families around the country in-clude their own twist on how this is done. Some do a round robin where each member tells what they are thank-ful for. Others have each guest write it down on a piece of paper and throw them all in a hat. Then they draw each piece out one at a time, read it aloud and try to guess who wrote what. Some even let their guests write what they are thankful for on the table cloth so the memories can last year after year.

THANKSGIVINGDAY FUN FACTS

• Philadelphia touts the oldest Thanks-giving Day Parade at over 90 years old.

• Thomas Jefferson was adamantly against the declaration of a Thanks-giving Day, and is quoted as saying it was “the most ridiculous idea I’ve ever heard.”

• Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be named the national bird.

• When the Air Force was attempting to break the sound barrier, they found fi elds of turkeys that had dropped dead in their tracks from apparent heart at-tacks.

• Seven other nations celebrate an of-fi cial Thanksgiving Day: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, Liberia and Switzerland.

• Since 1947, the President of the Unit-ed States pardons one turkey, allowing it to live out its life in peace rather than becoming part of the feast.

• The biggest pumpkin pie ever con-structed weighed 2,020 pounds.

• About 280 million turkeys are sold in the U.S. for Thanksgiving each year.

• The night before Thanksgiving holds the record as the night for the most sales at bars nationwide, even higher than on New Year’s Eve, St. Patrick’s Day and the Super Bowl.

DOING FOR OTHERS EASES LONELINESS

The key to fi ghting loneliness during the holidays is doing things for others. And if you

join together with like-minded se-niors, your own potential for happi-ness increases.

Here are a few ideas. If you start now to plan and make preparations, you’ll be ready by December.

Caroling: Gather friends together, print out the lyrics of a half-dozen hol-iday songs and practice a few times. Make a list of locations to contact about spreading a little musical cheer. Hospitals, nursing homes, veterans hospitals, elementary schools and nursery schools are all potential sites for your holiday chorus to perform.

Gift bags: If you plan to visit nursing homes or hospitals, your presence and willingness to chat for a few minutes

is the biggest bonus, but a small gift bag will be most welcome. Ask in ad-vance how many to prepare. If there are too many and your budget won’t stretch, limit your gift bags to one wing or section.

Ask staff if you need to stick to diabet-ic candy. There are many kinds now, and most of them are tasty. (For exam-ple, Whitman’s makes the miniature boxes of sugar-free chocolates.) A few pieces of chocolate and peppermint in each bag, as well as other small items, will go a long way to brighten the day of someone in the hospital during the holidays.

A small notepad with a bright pen, a small hand mirror, an inexpensive scarf, a small desk calendar, a tiny stuffed animal, puzzle books like crossword or Sudoku with a mechani-cal pencil (so the nurses don’t have to sharpen regular pencils) all are good ideas for bag stuffers.

Group meals: Plan to join together for a simple meal after all of your holiday efforts. The menu doesn’t have to be fancy ... it’s the company that counts!

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My hus-band has had many medical prob-lems. Earlier this year, he developed atrial fi brillation. A cardioversion was performed and worked for about fi ve minutes. Then his doctor pre-scribed amiodarone. Since being on amiodarone, he has felt much worse. Could the medicine be the problem? He only sits around, and doesn’t even feel like going out for lunch. Another cardioversion is possible in a couple of weeks. Is there any danger to this procedure? -- M.C.

ANSWER: Does his doctor know how he feels? He can prescribe many other options for your husband.

Atrial fi brillation is an erratic and fast heartbeat. Cardioversion, an elec-tric shock delivered to the fi brillating heart, has a fairly high success rate of restoring a normal beat. Success depends on how long the fi brillation has been present and how large the person’s heart is. The sooner from the onset of fi brillation, the better are the results for cardioversion. The results for longstanding atrial fi brillation are not as good.

Fibrillation can recur after cardiover-sion. It can recur after taking medi-cines, too.

Danger exists for every single medical procedure. The complications from cardioversion are few and rare.

The booklet on heartbeat irregulari-

ties explains the common kinds of rhythm disturbances. Read-ers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 107W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s print-ed name and address. Please al-low four weeks for delivery.

***

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 12-year-old son has large breasts, like a woman’s. In other respects he looks like a 16-year-old. He’s tall and wears a size 11 shoe. What has caused his breasts to be like they are? -- M.C.

ANSWER: Your son is going through puberty. Two-thirds of boys experi-ence breast enlargement during pu-berty. It’s normal. The enlargement for some boys might not be as great as your son’s, however. It comes from a temporary imbalance of male and female hormones. It’s not a lasting thing, for most. Some see a regression in a matter of months, while others might have to wait for two years. The condition is gynecomastia (GUY-nuh-coe-MASS-tee-uh).

If this causes your son great embar-rassment and makes life miserable for him, speak to the family doctor. Removing the breast tissue ends the problem. Surgery isn’t extensive and doesn’t require a long healing period.

***

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My future husband wants me to go on birth-con-trol pills. Do the pills make a woman less able to have a family when they’re stopped? We want to have children, but not right away. How long can a woman take the pill? -- J.W.

***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will in-corporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or re-quest an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

SNIPPETZ® HOME AND GARDEN

HOLIDAYCACTUS

Okay, I have a confession. I have a Christmas cactus ad-diction. Is it serious? Well,

it might be. I love Christmas cac-tus, Thanksgiving cactus and Eas-ter cactus. Their fuchsia like fl ower is stunning on a cold winter’s day. I call it an addiction because I can’t seem to stop myself from fi rst buy-ing any color I don’t already have, and then anytime a branch falls off I can’t throw it away. Instead I just can’t stop myself from rooting it in water, which will later be either added to one of my other plants or if there’s no room, than here comes number seventeen!

That may not seem so bad except I have two kids and three dogs and so I end up with quite a few fallen branches. Oh well, there are worse things than having thirty tiny Holi-day cactus spread around your home.

One difference between the three holiday cacti, you might have al-ready fi gured out, is their bloom time. They all bloom close to the holiday they’re named after and often at least one other time too.

Schlumbergera truncate or Thanks-giving Cactus has pointed teeth on the stems while Schlumbergers x. buckleyi or Christmas Cactus has rounded tips and Hatiora gaertneri the Easter Cactus also has rounded tips but its stems are much more an-gular compared to the fl at leaves of the Christmas Cactus and its fl ow-ers are more star shaped. They’re all native to the forests of Brazil where they grow as epiphytes in trees.

All three types are true cacti, but they require more moderate water-ing. Water about once a week when the top inch of soil is on the dry side and fertilize at half strength. Blooming is a reaction to the change in hours of daylight. When you see buds start to form you can reduce the amount of water and stop fertil-izing until after the blossoms have fallen for a much more vibrant col-or. They all do best in bright indi-rect light. If their dark green foliage starts to fade or becomes shriveled looking than it needs to be moved to a cooler spot.

Now you can dazzle your friends and family with your ability to tell the difference between all the holi-day cacti! Hey! What’s a better host-ess gift for your holiday parties than the corresponding holiday cactus?

Q: This winter will be the fi rst time we will use our new fi replace. Can you give us some advice on safely lighting a fi re? -- Charlie L., Oviedo, Fla.

A: Sure can! Your request comes at the perfect time, as we move into November and cold weather sets in for most of the country.Here are step-by-step instructions for lighting a fi re safely and successfully. If you own a gas-lit fi replace, skip Steps 3 and 5.1. Open the damper and visually inspect the fi rebox and fl ue to ensure that they are clear.2. Stack fi rewood in the center of the fi re-place, being careful not to place the logs too close together. The wood stack should take up no more than one-third of the space in the fi replace.3. Place loosely rolled newspaper in the gaps created by the wood stack, on all three sides. (Use newspaper only -- avoid magazines or color inserts.)4. Preheat the fl ue. Carefully light a rolled piece of newspaper and hold the paper

about 2 inches inside the fl ue. Move the paper in slow circles for 10 to 30 seconds. This will encourage warm air to fl ow up and out the chimney.5. Light the newspaper between the logs, on all three sides. A good-size fl ame should leap up shortly, but will die down as the last of the paper burns. Look for smaller fl ames fl ickering along the bottom of the logs; this shows that the wood has caught, and that a nice, small- to medium-size fi re will build in a few minutes.6. Add wood to the fi re one piece at a time. To maintain the fi re’s size, add one new log for each log that burns away. To increase its size, add one log every fi ve minutes or so to a steady fi re, and note the amount of fl ames and heat after each addition.The most complicated part of fi re-building, for new users, is fi nding the right amount of kindling to get a steady fi re going. Dry twigs and wood chips can be added to newspaper; leaves don’t burn as well and are better left on the mulch pile.Use a combination of woods for the best results: oak burns slowly and cleanly, while pine ignites more easily and burns hotter, but is consumed quickly.Enjoy your new fi replace, with a dose of common sense: Don’t burn trash in it, keep the gate closed and have the fi replace and chimney cleaned once a year.

HOME TIP: Leave about 1 inch of fi ne ash in the bottom of the fi replace. The ash insulates the fi rebox and helps the fi replace heat more effi ciently.

• On Nov. 24, 1849, John Froelich, the in-ventor of the fi rst internal-combustion trac-tor, is born in Girard, Iowa. Froelich and investors formed the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company. The Waterloo Tractor Works, owned by John Deere since 1918, remains one of the largest tractor fac-tories in the United States.

• On Nov. 22, 1900, the fi rst car to be pro-duced under the Mercedes name is taken for its inaugural drive in Cannstatt, Germany. The car was specially built for Emil Jell-inek, a fan of fast, fl ashy cars. He bought 36 of them. In exchange, the company agreed to name the car after Jellinek’s 11-year-old daughter, Mercedes.

• On Nov. 19, 1915, British airman Rich-ard Bell Davies performs a daring rescue, swooping down in his plane to whisk a downed fellow pilot from behind the Turk-ish lines. The British government awarded him the Victoria Cross.

• On Nov. 21, 1934, teenager Ella Fitzger-ald wins Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo

Theater. Putting her name in the hat on a bet, she’d originally planned a dance num-ber. History was made when she changed her mind and sang “The Object of My Af-fection.”

• On Nov. 20, 1945, a series of trials of ac-cused Nazi war criminals, conducted by a U.S., French and Soviet military tribunal based in Nuremberg, Germany, begins. Twenty-four former Nazi offi cials were tried, and half would be sentenced to death by hanging.

• On Nov. 23, 1959, Robert Stroud, the fa-mous “Birdman of Alcatraz,” is released from solitary confi nement for the fi rst time since 1916. For 15 years, Stroud lived among canaries brought to him by visitors, and he became an expert in birds and ornithologi-cal diseases. In 1943, Stroud’s Digest of the Diseases of Birds, a 500-page text that in-cluded his own illustrations, was published to general acclaim.

• On Nov. 25, 1963, President John F. Ken-nedy, who was assassinated three days ear-lier, is buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. An eternal fl ame was lit by his widow to forever mark the grave.

GUINEA PIGS HAVE NO

PROBLEMSBy Ron Ross

My granddaughter has a guinea pig. Recently I spent several minutes looking at and talk-

ing with her about the little creature. He has a very soft furry coat, a cute little nose, and he doesn’t mind if you hold him. He has quite a lovely cage with a variety of things to play with. He even has a little house he can go into when the stresses of life become so great he needs a place of escape.

“What does he do all day?” I asked her.

“I don’t think he does anything. He mostly just eats and sleeps.”

“Sounds like a pretty good life to me!” I said.

“Yeah, really,” she responded. “No homework.”

“The guinea pig has it all, doesn’t he?” I said. “Nice house, toys to play with and every day someone drops some lettuce on him and replaces his water bottle with fresh water.”

I thought about the variety of problems I face compared to the little furry crea-ture in the cage. My problems are much greater than wondering when the next time someone will drop some fresh veg-etables on my head. But do I want to spend my days alone in a glass cage sur-rounded by everything I need to survive? Do I want a life without problems?

Problems are what life is made up of. If we faced no problems and everyday our every need was provided for with-out calling forth any effort on our behalf why would we ever get out of bed? We would have no more use for living than

that guinea pig. He sits in his nice little glass cage, is fed fresh food and water every day and cares nothing about shift-ing tectonic plates, nuclear prolifera-tion, diminishing bank balances, or the increasing arthritis pain in my left knee. He has no problems and therefore no reason for existence.

Problems are not our problem; how we face them and what we do with them is.

The fi rst and most important step to solving the problems we have is to real-ize that they are indeed OUR problems. We must come to terms with the fact that we are in the situation we are today be-cause of decisions and actions we made yesterday. And wherever we will be to-morrow will be the direct result of the decisions and actions we make today.

Like you, I fi nd it much easier to blame my mother, or the economy, or global warming for my situation, but blaming does not solve problems, it exacerbates them. As long as we spend our time blaming everything and everyone else

for our problems, we dribble away the energy and resources we need to fi nd solutions. Blaming focuses on the prob-lem and those people and events we be-lieve interacted to create our miserable plight. It does nothing to help us unearth a solution.

It is not easy to admit, “This is my prob-lem. I created it, or at least I let it hap-pen. Now I must fi nd a solution.” Yet accepting responsibility for our prob-lems moves us towards a solution; it directs the mind to fi nd a way out, and our minds are incredibly good at solv-ing problems.

Solution oriented people fi nd ways to improve their predicament; they be-lieve that tomorrow is bright because they are working today to resolve their problems. Problem oriented people fi nd themselves deeper and deeper into their tribulations with no end in sight.

This leads me to the question you prob-ably knew I would ask: Are you problem oriented or are you solution oriented? Either way, I’m sure you are pleased you’re not a guinea pig living comfort-ably in a glass cage with absolutely no problems and therefore, no real reason to live.

TROUBLE,BE GONE

By Nick Yanez

In this soiled world of transgression and tragedy, there come few opportunities to ignore

it all. Why do you think movies like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and this-weeks-number-one-fl ick Twilight seem to dominate our pop-culture? It’s because we all need a break from reality from time to time. Obsession with fantasy and theater is all part of modern humanity. So what’s a Tri-Lakes area resident to do when they need to get away from all the madness? It’s simple – fi nd the only worthy entertainment in town…

Rodz Variety Show is the aforementioned shindig. Saturday, November 24th at 9:00pm is the best way to let go of the daily hassle. They’ll be a room full of scandalous women singing and dancing, a

hilarious host, professional sound (from a certifi able genius), and much more entertainment. This adult event is scheduled to allow only those of drinking age into the building. A $10 ticket is all you’ll need. You can buy online at www.PinzBowling.com, call the center at (719) 487-7469, or just pay your fee at the door on the night of.

If you happen to be one of the rowdier folks in town, you’ll want to be at the event. In fact, you’ll want to join an hour early when O’Dell’s Brewery gives away free samples at the offi cial Rodz’ Pre-Game Party, which starts when doors open for the event at 9pm. It’s a chance to let loose; the troubles of the week must suffer consequence and defeat. There is no stress; there is no sadness; not when we’re having fun. Whether that be healthy or not is for a government elected medical expert to decide; but the truth remains - laughter is the best medicine. We’ll see those smiles Saturday, at Rodz.

• It’s not known who made the following sage observation: “The sharper your words are, the more they’ll hurt if you have to swallow them.”

• Those who study such things say that Southerners watch more TV than residents of any other region of the country.

• Any given major ballet company will go through about 3,000 pairs of toe shoes every year. Under nor-mal use, one pair will last for about one hour of performing.

• If you average out the depth of the world’s seas and the elevation of the land, you’ll fi nd that the ocean is four times as deep as the land is high.

• Pierre-Auguste Renoir, one of the leading artists of the Impressionist movement, died in 1919, at the age of 78. His last words were, “What a pity I have to go now just when I

was beginning to show promise!”

• Researchers studying the work-ings of memory briefl y showed hu-man volunteers sequences of fi ve numbers on a computer screen. When asked to repeat the numbers, the test subjects could accurately do so half the time. The same re-searchers conducted the same test with a chimpanzee named Ayumu, who was able to recall the number sequences 80 percent of the time.

• A male sea otter shows affection by biting his mate’s nose.

• If you’re a young baseball player hoping to make it in the big leagues, you might want to keep this fact in mind: Only 8 percent of those who sign major-league contracts actu-ally play in even a single big-league game. The other 92 percent spend their careers languishing in the mi-nor leagues for a pittance.

FINDING THE RIGHT TURKEYWhether you buy a fresh or frozen

turkey, proper cooking and han-dling of the bird will ensure a

delicious holiday meal. Here are some tips from the National Turkey Federation:

• Purchase one pound of turkey per person to be served. This formula allows for the holiday meal plus a little left over for the prized turkey sandwich.• Check that the packaging is intact, and avoid purchasing a bird with packaging that has rips or tears.• Save on supermarket specials by purchas-ing more than one turkey. A whole frozen turkey can be stored in your freezer for up to 12 months.• Select the size of turkey based on number of servings needed. There is no appreciable difference between female (hen) and male (Tom) turkeys in tenderness, white/dark meat ratio or other eating qualities. Hens typically weigh between 14 to 16 pounds and Toms 15 pounds on up, so choose the size which best fi ts the number of dinner guests you expect.• Consider alternative turkey cuts if you are having a small gathering for the holi-day. Other turkey products that are readily available include a turkey breast, tender-loins, cutlets, drumsticks or thighs. Or ask your butcher to cut a whole fresh bird in two halves, roast one half and freeze the other half to use later.

Frozen Turkey:• Purchase during special value sales and store the bird in the freezer until the thaw-ing time begins.

• Store at 0 degrees F or below.• Thaw under refrigeration, in cold water, or in the microwave:Refrigeration: Allow approximately 24 hours per fi ve pounds to thaw in the refrig-erator.Cold Water: Allow approximately 30 minutes per pound to thaw in cold water; change water every 30 minutes. Do not use warm or hot water.Microwave: Follow the manufacturer’s directions and begin to roast the turkey immediately following the microwave pro-cess.

Fresh Turkey: • Store at 26 F and above.• Purchase for convenience because thaw-ing is not required. Cost may be slightly higher due to special handling required by the store.• Order in advance to assure availability.• Place fresh raw poultry in a refrigerator that maintains 40 F and use it within the time frame on the package label, or freeze at 0 F.

Hard-Chilled Turkey:• Store at temperatures between 0 F and 26 F. Treat this bird like a fresh turkey; it has a shorter shelf life than a frozen product.

WHAT TO DO WHENTHE TURKEY ISN’T DONE,

AND OTHER TIPSBy Angela Shelf Medearis

After more than 35 years of cook-ing, I’ve had my share of Thanks-giving Day disasters! Here are

some secrets to saving your sanity and your Thanksgiving dinner:

HOW TO QUICKLY DEFROST A TURKEY: You’ll need at least 24 to 48 hours (about 5 hours per pound) to thaw out a frozen turkey in the refrigerator. If you need to do a quick thaw, place the wrapped, frozen turkey in your kitchen sink or a large container like an ice chest. Cover the turkey with cold water. Drain and refi ll the water every half hour because as the bird thaws out, the water will get warmer. Using this method, the turkey will thaw at the rate of about a half hour for each pound.

PREPARING THE BIRD: Remove the giblet package (neck, livers, heart and giz-zards) from inside the cavity of the bird AND check the neck cavity. Some manu-facturers place the giblet package in the neck cavity, and others place it inside the cavity closest to the legs. Most turkeys come with the legs already trussed (crossed and secured with a metal or plastic bracket). If you’re not going to stuff your bird, there’s no need to truss the legs. Trussing an unstuffed bird hinders the hot oven air from circulating inside and around the legs. This means that the dark meat will take longer to cook and the breast meat will cook faster and probably dry out before the legs ever get completely done.

THE TURKEY ISN’T DONE: Don’t rely on the “pop-up” timer in the turkey, as it usually means that the breast is over-cooked and the dark meat isn’t done. If the dark meat isn’t done, remove the wings and breast meat from the rest of the turkey, in one piece, if possible. Cover the breast and wing portion with foil and set it aside. Put the drumsticks and thigh portion of the tur-key back into the oven to continue cooking until done. You can re-assemble the whole turkey and garnish it, or just cut it into serv-ing portions and arrange it on a platter.

STUFFING SAVERS: If the stuffi ng/dressing is too wet, spread it out in a thin layer on a sheet pan so that it will dry quickly. Place it back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. If it’s too dry, add more pan drippings or chicken broth to the mixture. If you don’t

have any more drippings or broth, you can combine a chicken bouillon cube (if you have one), along with a teaspoon of poul-try seasoning, three tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of water. Cook the mixture in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Stir to combine and then add it, a little at a time, to the dressing until it’s moist.

SOUPY MASHED POTATOES: You can add unseasoned dry breadcrumbs to soupy mashed potatoes to absorb any excess liq-uid.

GRAVY RESCUE TIPS: If the gravy is lumpy, pour it through a strainer into a new pan and bring it to a simmer, stirring gently. If it’s too thin, mix a tablespoon of melted butter with a tablespoon of fl our. Bring the gravy up to a boil and whisk in the butter mixture to thicken your gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth, pan drippings or a little water and butter to thin it out.

BURNT OFFERINGS: If the turkey be-gins to burn while it’s roasting, fl ip the bird over immediately and continue to cook it. After the turkey is done, you can remove and discard any blackened skin and about half an inch of the meat below any burnt area. Slice the remaining breast meat, ar-range it on a platter and ladle gravy over it.

MORE TIPS: If your vegetables or gravy burn on the bottom, carefully remove the layer that isn’t burned into another pot or serving dish. DON’T SCRAPE THE BOT-TOM OF THE PAN.If the dinner rolls are burned on the bot-tom, just cut off as much as you can, but-ter them, and fold them in half to cover the missing ends.Whipped cream is the perfect “make-up” for desserts that aren’t quite up to par. You can cut the top layer off a burnt pie and cover it with whipped cream.

Hopefully, these tips will rescue you from any Thanksgiving Day disasters, but re-member it’s about gathering together to give thanks with the people you love, not the perfect meal! Have a blessed Thanks-giving!

New DVD Releases forWeek of November 19, 2012

PICKS OF THE WEEK“The Expendables 2” (PG-13) -- The mean, pulpy-looking action heroes of yes-teryear are back for another lighthearted bullet-fest. Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Wil-lis, Ah-nuld, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and some other dudes join up with Chuck Nor-ris to defeat the evil Jean Villain, (Jean-Claude Van Damme, and yes the bad guy of the movie is really named “Villain.”)This is not a revival of the tough-guys, huge-guns action genre of the ‘80s, but

more of a self-mocking reunion special. Schwarzenegger and Willis have to cram into a tiny car. They trade dozens of one-liners referencing more famous one-liners. Things explode quite frequently. It’s a lot of fun, depending on how much you enjoy jokes about Predator and Terminator.

“Grave of the Firefl ies” [Blu-ray] -- Orig-inally released in 1988, this classic work of dramatic animation is coming to Blu-ray. Set in the fi nal days of World-War II, Seita and Setsuko are children from a small town on the mainland of Japan. The children are torn from their home by bombing raids and must fi nd their way to safety as more of the countryside is engulfed in fl ames.Ghibli Studio produces amazing animated fi lms. This movie is more serious than its usual work, but keeps the same artistic standard. It’s a tremendously sad story, fi lled with glimpses of intense beauty.

“Bringing Up Bobby” (PG-13) -- Olive (Milla Jovovich of “Resident Evil”) is a Ukranian-born con artist and single moth-er. Her precocious 10-year-old boy, Bobby (Spencer List), has a bowl cut and a million lines of adoration for his mother. The two are partners in crime, scamming their way across the American Midwest. Things turn from overtly cute to ham-handed melo-drama when an accident gets Bobby in trouble and Olive has to become a lawful, non-scheming person. The whole affair has an awkward, fi rst-time director feel to it. A good choice if you want to catch a nap dur-ing a movie and not feel too left out.

“Black Magic” (1949) -- Orson Welles goes all-in on this hammy psycho-thrill-er about the POWERS OF THE MIND! Welles is Cagliostro, a hypnotist traveling with gypsies in some bygone era that de-manded elaborate costuming and ridicu-

lous set pieces. Cagliostro starts abusing his powers then gets reeled into a scheme to replace the queen of France. In many scenes, Welles gives the camera his most smoldering stares as the light fi lters direct-ly onto his eyes. If you love the majesty and drama of “Citizen Kane,” then you can suffer through “Black Magic” and have a few laughs along the way.

GOOD VS. BADDEBT

Not all debt is bad. In spite of our being encouraged to clear all debt so that we

don’t owe anything to anyone, there are some types of debt that are good and can add positively to our qual-ity of life.

The two key steps are to invest only in good debt, and to keep good debt from turning into bad debt.

Mortgages are considered good debt, and it’s the biggest debt most families take on. It’s not likely that anyone can save enough to buy a house for cash.

Mortgages allow families to buy their own home to live in and enjoy and to (theoretically) build up eq-uity. Turn a good debt into a better debt -- pay it off more quickly by making extra payments. Even $100 a month extra can shave years off the end of your mortgage.

Where mortgage debt becomes bad is if you take on more than you can handle. Late payments lead, at the very least, to increased fees and penalties. Taken to the extreme, late

payments can result in bankruptcy and ruined credit.

Other examples of good debt (that which will appreciate or gain value down the road) are education loans for college (greater earning power), business loans (greater business-building power) and home-equity loans for needed improvements (in-crease the value of the home).

Bad debt is debt you incur for any-thing that won’t gain in value or that has only a momentary value, is dis-posable or is incurred for things you don’t really need.

Vehicles are considered bad debt because vehicles never gain in val-ue. You lose value the minute you drive off the dealer’s lot. However, vehicles are necessities. Make the largest down payment you can to keep your payments small, and then pay extra on the loan to pay it off quickly.

Nearly anything you put on a cred-it card makes it a bad debt. Don’t charge things of low value unless you’re going to pay off the balance at the end of the month. Meals out, groceries, oil changes, vacations and clothing are bad bets to charge because they’ll never gain in value and are disposable.

The rule of thumb is: If it doesn’t gain in value, try to pay cash.
