What’s Cooking
Lighten up! Healthful recipes for a new year

Back through the living room and out to the front porch, where not a creature was stirring not even (oops, we're over that one for another year.) OK, now back down the hall to the guest room and guest bath — zip, zilch, nobody! OK, one last run back through the dining room, a sprint into the... Read more

Thanksgiving: It’s not about the food
Thanksgiving is often associated with the meal rather than an occasion to give thanks. We gather around the table with family and friends and consume many of the foods we have come to associate with autumn and Thanksgiving — turkey, squash, turnip, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and a variety of other goodies.While some authorities are convinced that the 1621 feast included turkey, which were known to be plentiful on Cape Cod, others lean toward deer meat as the most logical main course...

A Bird’s Tale
Let’s talk turkey
Thanksgiving Day is almost here, and it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without turkey, so we thought we’d share some. The wild kind, that is — the species that is, along with the Muscovy duck, the only domesticated bird that native to the New World.The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) was at one time almost extinct, so the fact that you can now see them throughout Maine (and North America) is reason to be thankful. But their status as conservation success superstars is just one of many side dishes... Read more
