Thanksgiving Trivia
Did you know that the Thanksgiving holiday date, the fourth Thursday of November, was not set in stone until 1941. Yep, the date got moved around and turkey day was sometimes celebrated in September or October! One of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving meal is homemade mashed potatoes. If I had been at the first Thanksgiving dinner, the one in which the pilgrims participated, I would not have had the pleasure of heaping a pile of potatoes on my plate. Potatoes were not part of the first Thanksgiving. Irish immigrants had not yet brought them to North America! Thank you Irish!
