It's kinda fun to know that a tradition as American as Thanksgiving had it's beginnings near the place I call home. Weather permitting, I'm sure that I'll visit First Encounter Beach, where the Pilgrims first 'encountered' the Native Americans, sometime during Thanksgiving weekend. This year we expect to have a house-full (including the 5 month old twin grand-daughters) for a traditional turkey dinner (and pumpkin pie!).The first Thanksgiving, where the colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast, was held in 1621 in Plymouth. It's likely that lobster was a part of the first Thanksgiving. Sounds good to me - but how do you make gravy? Read about that first Thanksgiving on the History Channel website.
