Enjoyed the week so far...

This week has been fairly good, still looking for a job but continue to not give up. That would be easy and what I might have done in the past but have grown in that area and don't just quit if things don't go my way. I am reading Max Lucado's "Outlive Your Life" again, read it through really fast, but wanted to absorb the material this time. Also teaching myself German. That is easier than it might seem at first glance, since English is an evolved version of German. Also have reserved a book on learning Mandarin, that will be very difficult I have heard, but I shall see for myself. Blogging like cooking for me is somewhat relaxing, it's not like I ever could run out of thoughts to share and think on, so no writer's block here. Just the proper filter of what to blog on and what to consider before sharing is neccessary. Hmmm. Well that is life on the Corbin-front, just a short and sweet update.

It's been such a long time...

Hope all is going well for you all, it has been busy time of year with all the Thanksgiving and Christmas (yes I said the "C" word, I don't shy away from controversy) planning and parties and such.

I got thinking of Thanksgiving and the hard time some friends get when they are eating less "Thanksgivingy" food than the traditionalist and purist choose to eat.

I can't say for certain what the menu was or wasn't on the original day, obviously there probably were turkeys since Mass. has them up there and probably venison...my point is, where does it say that a meal is any less of Thanksgiving if it isn't traditional, then if you go straight by the book?!? Especially if we are not sure what is or isn't in the book to begin with?!? Hmmm.

My point in bringing up this gross hypocrisy, and it truly is a hypocrisy. If we are gathering together to remember to give thanks for people,objects...in our lives, then does it not follow that if a certain type of food makes a people group feel more comfortable or possibly focus their thankfulness better, why not just let them eat it?
