We never thought we would find ourselves, everyone, in such a situation. These are, of course, days of reflection "in isolation”.  Days where we are catching ourselves cooking more often than usual. For this reason, we thought to share a recipe that our Chef Ambassador, Doreen Colondres posted on social media. Comfort food like she says, is food that heal our souls.

Somehow, Thanksgiving makes us reminisce about the time we enjoyed with family and friends, and about past things we are sincerely thankful for now.

Therein is the magic of this holiday. It brings our dearest and nearest together into the kitchen and around the table. Then, while we are enjoying warm foods, old jokes, and the Macy’s parade or the NFL game, this magic unobtrusively takes us all back to the moments when we were happy.

Or it’s not magic, but just the last slice of flavorful turkey and a glass of good wine.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which we also know as Columbus Day, is coming to remind us about two meaningful things. Firstly, it is our celebration of the priceless social and cultural diversity of our country. Secondly, it is our good chance to throw a big homey cookout for family and friends in the golden rays of the October sun.

Let’s see what we are going to toast on October 14, and plan a hearty barbeque menu for the holiday.

Columbus Day is coming on second Monday of the October. It means that the whole country officially celebrates the Columbus Day, when Americans have an opportunity to spread the patriotism all over the continent. America truly shares a bond with the name of Columbus, for this reason let's remeber some interesting Columbus Day facts, as well as of honorable sailor himself.

The decision to celebrate Labor Day at the beginning of fall had a pragmatic reason.

In the late 19th century there were no official holidays between Independence Day in July and Thanksgiving Day in November. So one extra paid day off right in the middle of this five-month period looked like a very good, humane idea to pay tribute to the labor of workers all around the country.

On the other hand, the first week of September is a perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy the last touches of summer warmth on our shoulders breathing in the aromas of early fall.

This year we are going to observe the official part of Labor Day on September 2, on Monday. But why not start a bit earlier to pick some nice bargains in the holiday sales, and get ready for a gourmet picnic?

Easter time always brings something special into our daily routines. While shopping malls and store windows are getting decorated with cute toy chicks and bunnies, the weather is getting more friendly, and we are getting more caring and sympathetic. Just keep an eye on yourself these days.

This is when any miracle can happen.

Columbus Day, Native Americans’ Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, or Discover Day – whatever name you consider proper to call this day – is coming to remind us about the deed of Christopher Columbus and his crew, which changed the course of history.

On October 12, 1492, the Italian-Spanish navigator and 90 sailors landed on a Bahamian island after a four-month journey. And if someone had told him then how much his discovery would be influencing lives of hundreds of millions of people for many centuries ahead, he would have only laughed at that weirdo and told him to go take some rest in the cabin.
