This weekend is American Thanksgiving, and our Instagram feeds are inundated with turkey. While we aren’t celebrating Thanksgiving, we are certainly keeping some of these recipes in mind for our own holiday season, which is just around the corner.
@spoonforkbacon are an American food stylist/photographer duo who come up with the most delectable-looking recipes for celebratory feasts – like this Korean corn cheese casserole.
We’ll definitely be circling back for some of their recipes in the coming weeks!
Old Cures
In the days of yore before needles and pills
We had potions and lotions to cure our ills
We had charms and relics with miraculous powers
That came down the line through family dowers
We had cures for eczema and all kinds of itch
Made from berries and blooms that grew in a ditch
Sore throats were banished with a sock full of salt
Kidney problems were cured with a home brew of malt.
Your ringworm infection will soon be all gone
If touched by a seventh consecutive son
If a couple got married, of a similar name
Their offspring’s endowed with a cure they claim.
Now some of these cures were scientifically correct
While others were duds and had no effect
Herbal remedies were good when properly used
But in the wrong hands they can be abused.

So, we lost my son's St Bernard while they were visiting. How can you lose a dog that big?

Planning on buying your presents online this Black Friday? Did you know when you buy anything online, you have 14 days to get a refund on an item after it is delivered? This applies even if you bought the item in the sales. So when your package arrives, be sure to take it out of the packaging, inspect it to ensure its what you want and it’s not faulty. If you are shopping in-store, retailers do not have any legal obligation to offer you a refund as you can inspect the item in store. Although many offer a refund up to 28 days, it is worth checking their policy before you purchase.

From Irene Geoghegan on how the mica crisis is affecting their lives:
My grandfather often said, ‘It’s only a problem if money and time won’t fix it.’ God willing, we’ll have the time and we’ll find the money, but we shouldn’t have to do this
