I don't think any other holiday embraces the food of the Midwest quite like Thanksgiving. There's roasted meat and mashed potatoes. But being here is also about heritage. Cleveland is really a giant melting pot - not only is my family a melting pot, but so is the city. View quote

When I was about nine years old, I announced to my mother that I was going to cook Thanksgiving dinner. And I went to the library and got this whole pile of books.

I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear, though, to stay warm! View quote

I was 23 when I learned how to cook; I grew up around the same time. It was precisely then that Thanksgiving started to mean something more.

The funny thing about Thanksgiving, or any huge meal, is that you spend 12 hours shopping for it and then chopping and cooking and braising and blanching. Then it takes 20 minutes to eat it and everybody sort of sits around in a food coma, and then it takes four hours to clean it up. View quote

I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth. It's as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant. View quote

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving for me is re-watching some of the classic holiday blunders that have been depicted on television.

Marlo Thomas

When people come to my act any time after Thanksgiving, I usually say, You shouldn't be here. You should be shopping. Our economy depends on you! You should be out there buying stuff.' View quote
Lewis Black
If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit give it nothing which may tend to its increase. At first, keep quiet and count the days when you were not angry 'I used to be angry every day, then every other day next, every two, then every three days' and if you succeed in passing thirty days, sacrifice to the gods in thanksgiving. View quote
Epictetus
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods. View quote
Epictetus
If the Church is in Christ, its initial act is always the act of thanksgiving, of returning the world to God. View quote
