We decorate the house with fall leaves and all of the lovely shades of brown as we crank up the fireplace to keep us toasty warm. We are planning a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast for our residents and families on Thanksgiving Day during lunch. Chef Vinny and his staff will have an incredible spread of all of the traditional favorites. Please be sure to make a reservation soon. It’s tradition to show your appreciation for others on Thanksgiving, but don’t let your displays of gratitude end when dinner is over. Here are some other ways to express your thankfulness for all the good things in your life: Volunteer. Finding a cause that resonates with you is the first step to giving back. Volunteering at your local community or youth center, or at events in your area, such as local charity runs, is a great way to actively show your support. Donate. Take canned goods or other nonperishable items to a homeless shelter or food kitchen to ensure that others can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal, as well. Reflect. Alone, or with family and friends, take a few minutes to reflect on all the blessings in your life. Whether big or small, remembering all that you have to be thankful for will encourage you to pay it forward this holiday season. Everyone, have a wonderful November!! Take the Chill Off The root herb ginger promotes blood circulation. If you feel cold, eating gingerbread or other foods containing ginger can make you feel warmer.

DISCOVERIESUnusual Dining Etiquette
Around the World#1- Slurping: is goodOne of our favorite Asian foods
is noodles; Pho, ramen, Udon,soba to name a few. In Japan,slurping is considered polite. It’salso an indication that the foodis good.
But be careful, slurping is notconsidered polite in all Asiancultures. In Thailand and in partsof China, it is accepted to slurp,but not really encouraged. Justknow before you go.
#2- Should you finish all thefood on your plate?
You might be surprised toknow that in some cultures, if youfinish all your food on your plate,it is a sign that your host did notprovide you with enough food.
In fact, in some cultures(Filipinos, Cambodians, Koreans,Egyptians and Thais), if you finishyour food, your host will continueto serve you each time you clearyour plate and drink your entirebeverage.
However, in Japan, finishingone’s plate and rice bowl signifiesto the host that the meal iscomplete and that you appreciatethe meal.
#3- Yes, You SHOULD Belchand Burp:
As strange as it sounds, YES, itis considered good table mannersin some cultures to belch aftera meal.
In India, Turkey and someMiddle Eastern countries and evenin parts of China, it is consideredgood manners to burp after ameal. It’s a sign of appreciationand satiety.
I’m not sure if I could bringmyself to burp at the dinner table,could you?
#4- Don’t Cut Your Salad Witha Knife in France!
Bet you didn’t know that inFrance, salads should not be cutwith a knife and fork. You shouldgently fold your lettuce leavesonto the fork and eat it.
#5- Which fork do I use?In Thai culture, you don’t use
your fork to put food in yourmouth, instead you use a fork topush your food onto your spoon.
During the Renaissance inEurope, there were no forks. Theywere as excessively refined. Formen, it was considered a sign ofeffeminacy. The custom of usingforks began in Italy, but only thewealthy could afford themthroughout the 17th century.
Don’t take these rules tooseriously; not everyone followstheir culture’s rules 100%. Whenin doubt, look around and seewhat other people are doing andjust follow suit.
