I found a copy of Abraham Lincoln’s proclamation setting aside the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving on a website called “Abraham Lincoln Online.” I knew Lincoln had issued the proclamation, but I never read it, nor knew of its background. According to the website, Lincoln had issued such proclamations before, but never something on a national level. On Sept. 28, 1863, he received a letter from the 74-year-old editor of Godey’s “Lady’s Book,” Sarah Josepha Hale, urging him to have the “day of our annual Than...

Vichyssoise can be traced to a Frenchman employed as a cook at a Ritz-Carlton hotel in the U.S. Because the soup is served cold,...

Here are some delicious and waste-conscious ways to put Thanksgiving or other holiday meal leftovers to use: Wrap it up promptly — Even though you may want to sit around an...

Cheney Congregational Church Please join us at Cheney Congregational Church Sunday, Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. for the beginning of the Advent season. Pastor Matt Goodale will be giving a sermon titled “The Language of Advent.” Words such as love, joy, peace, and hope appear regularly around Christmas time each year. Churches use these words often, and marketing agencies use these words to sell the newest product. The more we hear these words, the more they lose their meaning. Join us as we take a close look at how these words app...
