Putting It in Perspective

I read an interesting tidbit in this month's Food Network Magazine that may be of interest to those of you cringing at the thought of having to prepare huge holiday feasts. Food historian Kathleen Wall says the first Thanksgiving wasn't easy. "If you think your turkey dinner is a lot of work, try re-creating the first one: you'd have to feed 140 people over 3 days with no electricity." And your kitchen would be so dark and smokey that you would hardly be able to see the food.

Kind of puts it all in perspective, doesn't it?
