The Star of Thanksgiving Day—Mr. Turkey!

If you visit 91% of American households this Thursday you will enjoy a meal that features a Thanksgiving favorite--turkey. Before you grill, bake or fry this delicious bird here a few little known facts to ponder.
  • The bird is named after the country of Turkey.
  • ​There are six subspecies of wild turkey, all native to North America. The pilgrims hunted and ate the eastern wild turkey, sometimes called the forest turkey.
  • America’s turkeys almost went extinct in 1930 from the loss of forest habitat and over hunting. Recovery efforts have been successful and there are now an estimated 7 million turkeys in North and Central America.
  • Adult male turkeys are called “toms” and females are called “hens”. Very young birds are “poults” and adolescents are called “jakes”. A group of turkeys can be called a “crop”, “dole”, “gang”, “posse” or “raffle”.
  • The wild turkey’s bald head can change color in seconds with excitement or emotion. The bird’s head can be red (pink), white or blue.
  • Turkey gobbles can be heard a mile or more away.
  • Turkeys can run at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour and fly as fast as 55 miles per hour.
  • Wild turkeys sleep in trees.
  • It is said that the first presidential pardon ever given was by Harry Truman in 1947 and it was given to a turkey. Since then the annual tradition of sparing the lives of two turkeys (one for the President and one for the Vice President) continues.

Acorns contain large amounts of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and fats. They are still a food staple in Korean culture.

If you are planning to order a live Christmas tree, dig the home before the soil freezes. Mulch the area heavily to prevent freezing, or dig the hole and put the fill in a protected, non-freezing area, such as a garage of basement.

Never move a plant from the ground directly into the house because the shock is too much for it. Move a plant inside after the air conditioning is off but before the furnace comes on so it can acclimate.

Remove plant debris, both crop and weed, from the garden to reduce the carryover of disease, insects and weeds to next year’s garden.

To stop hiccups, try swallowing a spoonful of sugar in one gulp with no water.

A precursor to the movie projector was the zoetrope. Invented in 1834, this toy was a drum, lined with still pictures. When the drum was spun, the images appeared to move.

New England tribes called pumpkins and squashes "askutasquash". Tongue-tied Englishmen shortened the name to “squash”. They called the pumpkin the name of the pumpion, an Old World gourd.

Garlic is a member of the lily family and is second only to pepper in useful spices.
​
You can tell whether shrimp is fresh by its smell—or lack of it. Fresh shrimp should have no hint of a fishy odor.

Tea has only one-third the caffeine present in coffee.
