Transform Your Thanksgiving: British Hospitality Hacks

Three Simple Rules for a Wonderful Thanksgiving

1. Avoid Experimentation: Thanksgiving is not the occasion for culinary experiments. If you’ve never cooked or baked a dish before, please don’t make us your test subjects.

2. No Rebranding: This is not the moment to take credit for someone else's baking. If it’s made by Sara Lee, let it be known—don’t put your name on it.

3. Embrace Gratitude: Thanksgiving is about appreciation, so steer clear of turning it into a pity party. Focus on the positives.

Dry Snitching

 You Tell On Yourself

“You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,

By the very manner in which you speak;

By the way you employ your leisure time,

By the use you make of dollar and dime, 

You tell what you are by the things you wear,

By the spirit in which your burdens you bear;

By the kind of things at which you laugh,

By the records you play on the phonograph,

You tell what you are by the way you walk,

By the things of which you delight to talk;

By the manner in which you bear defeat,

By so simple a thing as how you eat.

By the books you choose from the well-filled shelf,

In these ways, and more, you tell on yourself.

So, there’s really no particle of sense,

In an effort to keep up false pretense.”

In these ways, and more, you tell on yourself.
