感恩節是冬季假期的開端,也是美國人奉獻的時刻
As Thanksgiving ushers in holiday season, Americans give back
你知道嗎? 本周四(11月26日)是感恩節。感恩節(#Thanksgiving)是美國人與家人朋友相聚,共同歡慶和對生活表示感恩的一天;這一天也標誌著冬季節假期的開始。
定在每年11月第四個星期四的感恩節,也是對人們一年一度的提醒,促使大家對需要幫助的人伸出援手。對於許多美國人來說,這意味著志願到布施食品的地方義務服務,或者向食品賑濟設施捐贈。還有些人參加由當地企業或是自己的教會、猶太教堂、清真寺或寺廟舉辦的食品捐助活動。
歐巴馬總統和他的家人也遵循著這一不斷壯大的文化傳統。自2008年以來,歐巴馬夫婦每年都在感恩節這一天到首都華盛頓地區的食品布施設施幫助置備節日餐飯,或是在市區的一個食品賑濟處與其他志願者一起分發食品。歐巴馬總統在2014年的感恩節公告中表示,為他人服務給美國全國各地社區增添力量,讓受幫助的人和提供志願服務的人雙雙受益。
他說,“在收容所和食品布施處,美國人把一個將我們緊密聯繫在一起的簡單真理賦予了真正的涵義:我們是我們兄弟姐妹的守護者”。
正是這種團契精神在鼓舞著“全杜勒斯地區穆斯林協會”(All Dulles Area Muslim Society,英文縮寫ADAMS)的義務工作者。該協會是華盛頓郊區最大的清真寺和穆斯林非營利組織之一。在感恩節及其他節假日期間,協會的志願者在接納無家可歸人的收容所提供熱騰騰的飯菜。他們還全年向有需要的人提供袋裝午餐。
全杜勒斯地區穆斯林協會的跨信仰和外聯主任法漢納茲·埃利斯(Farhanahz Ellis)解釋說,飯菜提供給任何人――不只是穆斯林。她說:“我們深信,需求不分宗教,不分性別,不分膚色。”
一些非營利組織通過贊助活動吸引新的志願者和資源加入進來。在德州的奧斯汀市(Austin),“火雞善行活動”(Operation Turkey)的志願者在感恩節這一天為有需要的人烹製、包裝餐飯,並將熱騰騰的飯菜送到他們手中;他們通過每年舉辦高爾夫球賽,為其慈善事業籌集資金。

This is my favorite childhood comfort food: high-fiber low-calorie apple cake.
I used to bake this with my mom when I was small. It is very easy! Even kids can make :)
Actually, original recipe (by Mademoiselle Ikuko) uses 2 apples but my mom always uses 1 apple and 1 banana :) also my mom uses more sugar (80g=2.8oz.) and more oil (100ml).

Doria is a gratin made with rice instead of macaroni.
It is a popular dish in Japan.
The idea using avocado is one of my popular dishes :)
Savory tasty and delicious way to enjoy Avocado.
It was once featured on a Hawaiian magazine.
My darling loves this gratin, so I hope you like it as well!
I translated this recipe almost 5 years ago on my blog. It is interesting to read what happened on that day. I don't even remember what have happened to me on that day. LOL
