An Historical and Expanded Thanksgiving Menu

          Happy Thanksgiving!
          It's my hope and prayer that you are able to take time today to count your blessings and remember not just what you're thankful for, but Who you're thankful to!
          The past few Thanksgivings, we (well, mostly I) have strived to make the menu of my family's Thanksgiving meal a bit more based on history and less on popular tradition. This became a passionate goal of mine when I found out that the original Thanksgiving meal featured lobster.
          As it turns out, the first Thanksgiving featured a lot of seafood, as well as ducks, geese and deer (good news, hunters!). Maybe we'll try these next year. It's hard to push such ideas when your wife is the only good cook in the family.
