Happy Thanksgiving UeaTers!

There are so many reasons to celebrate this Thanksgiving: the leaves are turning into beautiful auburns and yellows, this is the first long weekend of the term, Nutrition Week is coming up, and….you can make a turkey dinner!!

We found these YouTube videos on how to make a turkey at home. We challenge you to try making a turkey dinner this long weekend…and send us the pictures!

Part 1

Not as easy as you thought, huh? If you would rather look at a menu and order a turkey entrée, we have a shortcut to turkey dinner at home for you. Your nearest M&M meat shop has easy to bake turkeys, all set to be put in the oven. Give those a try.

And if you feel like turkey is still too difficult to make at home…it’s time you went home for Thanksgiving.

We hope you all have a wonderfully delicious Thanksgiving!

This video provides ten easy tips on eating healthy. Enjoy!

Dear UeaTers,

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a week long celebration of…FOOD?

That’s exactly what Hart House is planning from October 16 to October 23, 2009: World Food Week on campus!

The wonderful people at Hart House explain that “food is an integral part of our society.  It not only provides nourishment, but gives us an opportunity to share with our community; it allows us to preserve tradition and culture; it connects us to the land.  Food should be about simple principles, yet in our society we’ve allowed it to become a commodity. We demand year-round access to the cheapest food possible, gorging ourselves to malnourishment, while millions go hungry and suffer famine on a daily basis. In order to ensure access to safe and healthy food, and for the future of our society, we need to understand our food systems and reconnect and support the individuals that create them”.

So, Hart House has arranged workshops, lectures, food tastings and discussions on food and community. For a list of the events and schedules click here.
