The true story of Thanksgiving is the subject of a pair of books by author Denise Kiernan.

Post-pandemic airfare is more expensive, and troubles with staffing and scheduling created an avalanche of troubles for travelers in recent months.

The rich and complicated history of Thanksgiving is just one of a few things to consider when many of us sit down to dinner one week from now. On today’s show, we discussed the history of Thanksgiving foodways, or culinary traditions, and how to host a potential Thanksgiving meal that honors your own family’s heritage with the holiday’s rich history. We also delved into the history of plant-based eating and adapting your favorite recipes to suit varying dietary habits.
