Lots of Fun

My family and I had a delightful time at this house. Marie made sure we had a great time, and she was a pleasure to work with. She keeps the house very clean and it is wonderful to stay at. We had a wonderful night sleep. You will not regret booking a room with Marie.

Perfect Beach Vacation!
August 21, 2012
Marie's shore house was the perfect location for our first family beach vacation! The house was clean, comfortable and close to everything. We had 5-6 adults and one child and there was more than enough room for all of us. My parents loved sitting outside reading in the evenings before we headed to the boardwalk. Parking was a breeze and with everything in walking distance, it was great to be able to leave our cars and explore the area. The beach is just a short walk away and Marie had beach chairs, toys and a super convenient cart we could use to bring everything to the beach! Marie had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area and was really sweet and helpful. We could not have asked for a better week and will definitely be returning!

Immaculate, pictures don't do it justice
August 15, 2012
This property exceeded my expectations! It was so clean, and rennovated so nicely. Its a very comfortable home for a family and even 2 families we could fit nicely. Marie was very accomodating and a pleasure to work with. The walk is brief to the beach (a short cut thru) and it away from the hustle but close enough to take a stroll to the amuzement. There are nearby restaurants, stone throw, which makes it easy for families. The parking is limited, the only drawback, but you are sure to have 2 spots right at your door which is great!

Fantastic Fourth
July 11, 2012
We just enjoyed our second visit to this beautiful beach rental. I love walking into this immaculate home which is roomy enough for our family of five. Located on the inlet, we were just a hop, skip and a jump away from the beach. The owner is so sweet and accommodating and made our stay stress free and relaxing. We look forward to spending many more summers at this wonderful home!

Look No Further!
July 10, 2012
Our extended family has been coming to Pt Pleasant Beach for our shore vacation for over 15 years, and while we fell in love with the community, we had so many bad experiences dealing with rentals through realtors. Last year I found "Marie's Shore House", and there has been no looking back. My first impression upon walking in was the level of cleanliness, as in immaculate, and then the entire home is spacious & comfortable, everything is new, with adorable shore-decor pieces throughout the house that give it the ultimate beachy vacation home feeling. And there is central air - hallelujia!! I love the two-story layout and the two full bathrooms - perfect for when everyone is back from the beach at once wanting showers! Outside there is a covered porch where I loved to sit and read, and there is also a spacious patio complete with comfy chairs & table...and a grill...perfect for a couple barbecue evenings under the stars. The location of the home is probably its best kept secret. While you have your own parking (a BLESSING in Pt Pleasant Beach!) there is little need to use your car; everything is steps from your shore house, including but not limited to the beach, boardwalk, inlet, fishing boats, and one fabulous restaurant after another. On that note, be sure to ask Marie for dining recommendations - she could moonlight as a restaurant reviewer - she is spot-on to your family's needs & wants when it comes to dining out down the shore. I could go on & on but am limited in characters here. If you are looking for a true Jersey Shore family vacation, Marie delivers with her beautiful shore home, its location, and all its amenities...and most importantly, a brand of hospitality that sadly is few and far to be found in this day and age, especially when dealing with rentals through real estate agencies (in our experience, anyway).

Great Getaway!

What a fantastic place! Lots of space, very clean, perfect location, new renovations. We just parked our cars and never needed them till we left. Everything is within walking distance. Owners are very helpful and accomodating. We had a great time and will definately be back!

Stunning Beach House!!
August 15, 2011
What a wonderful family vacation home! The Perry's home is close to the beach and boardwalk which makes its location ideal. The home was clean, neat, organized fully stocked - soup to nuts!! We are a family of five with 3 teenage children. The house had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy. We can't say enough about our time down the shore - everything was perfect!!

Amazing family vacation
July 30, 2011
This beach house was perfect for our family! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children, it worked out great with the three bedrooms being on the second floor for the kids. When we first arrived we were extremely pleased with how new and clean the house was and how warmly we were welcomed by Marie (owner) and her sister. The location was fantastic and we did not need to drive anywhere. The walk to the beach and boardwalk was only 5 minutes and restaurants all around. I loved sitting on the front porch enjoying the breeze and the peaceful setting. Marie was always available and helpful in her recommendations for places to eat and things to do. It was so comfortable here that I really did feel like I was home. My grandson told me he wanted to live there! I will recommend this place to all my family and friends. Thanks again Marie for being such a blessing to us, we will see you next year, God willing!

Wonderful location, perfect for a family stay.
June 14, 2011
We stayed at this beach house with a family of 4 including 2 young kids the week going into Memorial Day Weekend 2011. The location is perfect, with access to the beach and boardwalk a block away. Great restaurants all around. We found it to be the perfect size for a family of 4 or more with 3 comfortable size bedrooms. The house is very well maintained and practically laid out. The landlord was helpful and reliable all the way through. In short we could not have made a better choice for our stay and I would recommend this experience to anyone else without hesitation.

Pleasant & Interesting
August 11, 2010
We found the house an interesting place to stay, they had made it feel like a cottage with the unique little signs above the doors and the mixture of furniture. It was a comfortable home for us and we enjoyed the nearness to the beach with the passes provided. We would recommend it to others. We did not make our stay long enough!

Best 4th Ever

A vacation to remember! The house was great, the beach is a 5 minute walk and the kids love the boardwalk. The owner of the house was very helpful and I would recommend this beach house to anyone. We would to this again in a heartbeat.

Two-story layout is great
July 19, 2010
Location was fantastic - close to many restaurants and the beach / boardwalk. Two story layout was nice for children - they could sleep upstairs while the adults hung out downstairs. The house was clean - although we did need to do a little touching up when we arrived since we had two crawling children who find (and eat) every little piece of lint on the floor. Overall, a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again.

From the second we walked in and saw how completly new, and clean everything was we knew we were going to have a great time. Only about 100 yds from beach, Very quiet. Very peaceful, very relaxing. Amazing view. Thanks again Marie, youll be hearing from us next year, thanks!! Daniel

Fun week

Marie was very friendly. The house was extremely clean and had every comfort of home that you would never get in another rental. Of course, the access to beach and boardwalk was superb. Thank you for a memorable week for my whole family!

Clean, good location
July 23, 2008
This is a beautiful property, which is well maintained by the owner. It is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach but far enough from the main strip that you have privacy. The owner is extremely helpful as far as providing recommendations for dining and entertainment. Would definatly book here again!!

Wonderful Family Vacation Home
June 17, 2008
This rental house is wonderful and the owners are very friendly and helpful. My family enjoyed the short walks to the beach and boardwalk. The local entertainment is only a short walk or drive away. My young children loved the vacation. The house had plenty of room for relaxing, playing games and making puzzles.

WEDNESDAY, June 25, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is often recommended as a way to lose weight, but doing so may not help you shed excess pounds, according to researchers.
They reviewed data from more than seven studies that examined how increased fruit and vegetable consumption affected weight loss.
"Across the board, all studies we reviewed showed a near-zero effect on weight loss," Kathryn Kaiser, an instructor in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said in a university news release.
"So I don't think eating more [fruits and vegetables] alone is necessarily an effective approach for weight loss because just adding them on top of whatever foods a person may be eating is not likely to cause weight change," she added.
"Overly simplified messages don't seem to be very effective," she added.
However, Kaiser and her colleagues also found that eating more fruit does not increase the risk of weight gain.
"It appears that an increase in servings does not increase weight, which is a good thing for getting more vitamins and fiber in one's diet," she said.
The study, which involved 1,200 people in all, was published June 25 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Fruits and vegetables provide many health benefits, but people shouldn't expect these foods to help them slim down, Kaiser said.
"In the overall context of a healthy diet, energy reduction is the way to help lose weight, so to reduce weight you have to reduce caloric intake," she said.
"People make the assumption that higher-fiber foods like fruits and vegetables will displace the less healthy foods, and that's a mechanism to lose weight; but our findings from the best available evidence show that effect doesn't seem to be present among people simply instructed to increase fruit and vegetable intake," Kaiser concluded.

Ben Franklin's Big Splash: The Mostly True Story of His First InventionSubmitted by Children on Wed, 10/01/2014 - 16:26
Ben Franklin's Big Splash: The Mostly True Story of His First Invention by Barb Rosenstock
Before he was an inventor, before he was a statesman, before he was a printer, Franklin was a young son of a soapmaker with big ideas and a penchant for swimming in the Charles River of Boston. This made him a bit of an odd duck at the time, as many people of the 18th century believed swimming could make them sick. With this "mostly true story," Rosenstock shares how even as a boy, Franklin possessed a powerful curiosity and a can-do attitude that led him to create swim paddles for his feet and hands that would help him move faster and better, much like the fish he observed in the river. The alliterative, sibilant text is a rollicking read to share aloud with young students ("where he slid off his stinky shoes, stripped off his sweaty stockings, squirmed out of his sticky shirt, shed his steamy breeches, and splashed in"). There is plenty of emphasis on words and phrases that are highlighted by colorful and distinct typefaces, some sliding down the page or shaped like a watery wave. The watercolor and ink artwork conveys joy and motion, with young Ben splashing into the water, gleefully trying out his fins. An extensive bibliography, source notes for quotations, and a time line of Franklin's life add to the veracity and strength of this story. This is a fun introduction to one of the nation's founding fathers and a solid addition to collections needing a different perspective on this American icon.Jody Kopple, Shady Hill School, Cambridge, MA

At Easyart there are lots of great frames to choose from, from traditional styles to more modern designs. You can either select one of our suggested frames or dive straight into the frame customising section, where you'll be able to experiment with a number of different frame combinations.
When customising your own frame, begin by choosing which frame moulding style, colour and material you prefer. Next, if you feel it needs one, add a mount to enhance your art print and finally, select which glazing option you prefer.
There aren't any set rules to choosing a frame to suit your art print, in fact, we'd encourage you to express your individual taste and be adventurous. But, if you need some general guidance, we've listed a few things to consider below:
Make sure to have a good look at how the frame moulding matches the colour and style of the art print. Consider a discreet look with a plain, white mould, or if you think your image needs a strong border, go for a bold, black or coloured frame. Traditionally, fine art is complemented well by gold, decorative frames and modern art is better suited to simple, plain frames. Finally, remember to consider your interior décor when choosing your frame. Not only can the frame be chosen to match the art print, it can be chosen to match the furniture too.
Generally the width of the frame should match the style and size of the artwork within. A wide frame could easily overwhelm a small picture and a narrow frame will not be bold enough for a large picture.
When selecting a mount for your art print, consider the colour and the size of it. The general rule of thumb is to choose a colour that complements but doesn't overwhelm the picture. The same goes for the size. You will be able to choose a wide mount option, as well as a standard sized option, so think about what size fits with your image.
If you're still stuck for what frame to go for, you can always take our advice and use our 'suggested frames' feature. Every one of our art prints comes with a selection of suggested frames that have been carefully chosen by our design team to best suit that particular art print, so you know you'll be in good hands.
Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

For instance, in a 2010 interview with former President George W. Bush, Crowley dismissed Bush's correct assertion that women are horribly oppressed by the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is interesting to contrast Crowley's dismissive attitude about the Taliban's oppression of women with the story of 14-year-old Malala Yousufazi, the Pakistani teen who defied the Islamist group and was shot in the head for asserting her right to education. This story is heartbreaking, but let us hope that her example can spur others to activism against the evils of radical Islam. With this in mind, watch Crowley suggest the oppression of women by the Taliban was not any worse than that of other nations. (At 1:50 into the video) George W. Bush:: I would say that, uh, put yourself in the position of a young girl in Afghanistan and realize that her life will be incredibly brutalized and or thwarted by people like the Taliban. And the fundamental question - Is it worth it? - that's the question we've got to ask. Does it matter to our own national security, or does it matter to our conscience, that women will be mistreated? I argue it does. And I understand it's difficult... Candy Crowley: It is. And women are mistreated in a lot of different parts of the world. Bush: But nothing like they were during the Taliban. Notice that Crowley felt it necessary to point out that women are mistreated "in a lot of different parts of the world." That equivocation really had no bearing on the discussion of the oppression by the Taliban, certainly, but what was she trying to say, here? The impression is that the oppression women face at the hands of the Taliban is no big deal because women are mistreated elsewhere, too. One woman that gets it is actress Angelina Jolie. Jolie thinks that little Malala should be held up as an international hero. Hard to fault that logic, for sure. But it seems that, to Crowley, Malala isn't so special. After all, women are mistreated in a lot of different parts of the world.

September 25, 2006
The new school year kicked off in August for students in our area. So far, it's been a good start, when it comes to disciplinary action at Charlottesville High School.
The most significant difference at Charlottesville High School this year is the school's surveillance camera system. Only installed in July, its two months of work is already appreciated.
"This is the best opening that we've had in my tenure as an administrator. A lot [of that] can be attributed to the work that has been done by our school culture committee," said Principal Kenneth Leatherwood.
The surveillance cameras installed over the summer contributed to that great opening as well.
"Compared to last year, we had probably a few fire alarm/false alarm pulls early in the year last year, and this year of course, we haven't had any at this point," added Leatherwood.
There are about 100 teachers at Charlottesville High School. There are 1400 students, and 40 cameras in place act as an extra set of eyes.
"It's hard to be everywhere all the time, and this allows us to have eyes at times, and in places where we wouldn't have had an opportunity to do that in the past," added Leatherwood.
Very few student-involved incidents have happened this year requiring CHS to look at camera footage. Any staff member can see the video as it happens, or watch it taped right on their classroom computer. The cameras have motion sensors, and allow the person looking to go to a specific time frame when searching.
"Even though we have six sets of eyes in the administrative area. It allows us to have many more sets with the surveillance cameras, and it's a big plus," added Leatherwood.
Charlottesville is not the first school in the area to have cameras up and running. Several in the city and Albemarle County have them in place. Those school have seen a drop in the need for disciplinary action as well.
All the schools in our area still maintain their School Resource Officers, whether or not they have those surveillance cameras installed. Some of those S.R.O.'s are seeing a lighter workload to disciplining students as well.
Charlottesville High School was not the only city school outfitted with cameras over the summer. Buford Middle School also got theirs in place during the summer break.

A scruptuous Read, Female Nomad and Friends
Here's the nitty-gritty for the book Rita Gelman and I have been working on. Published by Crown/Three Rivers Press, it hit the bookstores June 1. Or you can order online by clicking any one of the links below. FEMALE NOMAD AND FRIENDS: Tales of Breaking Free and Breaking Bread Around the World makes a great summer read, plus all royalties go to fund educational scholarships for kids from the slums of New Delhi.
A Scrumptious Summer Read That Celebrates Traveling, Connecting, and Eating Around the World
Tales of Breaking Free and Breaking Bread Around the World
by Rita Golden Gelman
"Tales from around the world, which . . . affirm a sense of human decency, generosity, and community beyond the borders of language or political affiliation. . . . All feature an appealing sincerity." -Kirkus Reviews
When Tales of a Female Nomad by Rita Golden Gelman was published in 2001, it became an instant worldwide bestseller. The story of Gelman selling all of her possessions and becoming a nomad-traveling through many countries and homes around the world-captivated readers. Gelman insisted on putting her personal e-mail address in the last chapter of her book and was flooded with correspondence from readers worldwide who offered their guest rooms, couches, meals, and-most important-stories from their own nomadic adventures.
In her follow-up, FEMALE NOMAD AND FRIENDS: Tales of Breaking Free and Breaking Bread Around the World (A Three Rivers Press Original, June 1, 2010), Gelman includes many of her own further adventures, as well as essays by writers and readers celebrating the connections they've made around the world. The stories in this moving anthology include people taking risks, seeking adventure, stepping out of the box, and discovering that beneath the beautiful differences that make us unique there is a universal sameness that bonds us.
FEMALE NOMAD AND FRIENDS also pays homage to the wonders of cooking and eating around the world, and includes more than thirty travel-inspired, taste-tested, and author-approved recipes. Among these fabulous international dishes are vegetarian dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), chiles en nogada (stuffed poblano chiles topped with a white cream sauce with walnuts and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds), and ho mok (an extraordinary fish coconut custard from Thailand).
Happy reading-and bon appétit, selamat makan, buen provecho!
All of the royalties from FEMALE NOMAD AND FRIENDS will be used to fund educational scholarships for kids from the slums of New Delhi.
I also want to remind you that the Global Dinner Party is happening June 18th. Rita just added a Participant Kit on www.facebook.com/femalenomad. You have to click on the two little arrows in the menu bar and then on Notes. There are also five recipes there. And please don't forget to RSVP (Go to Global Dinner Party and click on Events.). We're all hoping lots more of you will sign on. Once you've agreed to have a party, add a note to the Wall about where you are from. Welcome.
We'd like to make this huge so that we get noticed in the media. There are some really interesting discussion topics in the Participant Kit (trust, stepping outside of the box, taking risks…in life and in cooking). Rita will be posting videos and comments and photos from all the parties. Please join us and invite your guests
If you're not on Facebook, write Rita an e-mail and tell her you would like to host a party and don't forget to let her know where you are: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nikki Leigh is hosting a month-long blog tour where you can read excepts and reviews of FEMALE NOMAD AND FRIENDS. Check out the schedule at:
Don't forget that all the author royalties are going for scholarships to kids who live in the slums of New Delhi so fill up your shopping cart this summer.
In the coming weeks, I'll be doing interviews with a number of the writers who contributed to FEMALE NOMAD AND FRIENDS: Tales of Breaking Free and Breaking Bread Around the World. Be sure to check in and find out more about these interesting people.

Lovely setup for the blog. The book looks fantastic.
Lots of luck with the sales.
Thanks, Lorrie. Didn't I tell you Victor is a wizz at this sort of thing? The funny part is that it took us forever to realize the blog was in Spanish — he used the Spanish version of WordPress. When I asked Paul to take a look at the banner, he said, "Cool. But why is everything except what you write in Spanish?" Duh! Right. We still have to change a few words, but hey, this is Mexico. All things in good time. Like I just went to click on "Send a comment" and realized it's missing one "m." LOL

Oooh, this book looks fascinating, Maria! I am not a very good cook, but I do love to eat!
Hey, Zella, good to hear from you.
It is a nifty little book. You can always read the stories while getting up the nerve to cook. Or give it to someone and have them cook for you. Lots of advantages to that plan. Of course, there are those pesky dishes.
# Darla Boylethe 21 Sep 2010 to 4:29 pm
Hello Maria,
Or should I say Hola! I think this is a fabulous blog. Loved all the pictures and stories shared. Who wouldn't love a larger than life paper Mache cock…er, rooster? The ladder was absolutely beautiful and the ceramic cat had me LOLing. (Love Jean's sense of humor!) The drawings in the book were charming.
And I think it's wonderful that all the author royalties are going for scholarships to kids who live in the slums of New Delhi.
I was able to get a small peek inside a friend's copy of the book. With the little glimpse I got, I loved the stories, the recipes and even the small comment about the author at the end of each story.
And since I love to cook, bake, grill…you name it, I will be going out to pick up my own copy.
Best of Luck,

Is it worth the money to eat Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant?
For the restaurant we're considering, it will probably cost $250-$275 for three with tax and tip.
I know that if I cook, (even for just us) it'll be at least $100, plus many hours shopping, preparing, cooking, cleaning up, etc. (Sounds as though I just convinced myself--but we have been on a frugal trend lately & I have doubts).
Any thoughts?
It's just Mom, sister and I for Thanksgiving and we always dine out. For such a small group, the effort is not worth it to us and we like the excuse to dress up and dine out. Also, we dine at a place where we are known so it's warm and inviting.
I seem constitutionally incapable of doing holiday meals halfway--they always turn into an extravaganza. The results are worth it, but I just don't have the energy to do it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, we usually go out for one or the other. Pros: it's easy, it's relaxing, and there's no mess to clean up. Cons: no leftovers!
It's worth eating out if you enjoy it.
I've gone out with my family 5-6 times and it was nice every time. Very relaxed given it's a holiday, sort of spooky/eerie/calm driving around a deserved city.
I've also bought a turkey to go from a decent upscale grocery store for $100 bucks for everything. I did see a couple of people get half a turkey, or even meals for 2.
I think so!!! I always pick a place where we know people so that's fun (we have a couple of regular places) and make sure they have turkey and stuffing for DH. I don't like turkey or stuffing so going out to dinner is really a treat. Linda
The one Thanksgiving meal I've had in a restaurant was just awful. They were fully booked so they were running dinner in 2-hour shifts. The turkey turned out to be some kind of turkey roll made with deboned, skinless pressed breast/dark meat. People who chose this all said it was dripping with some kind of juice, perhaps injected? And it was tasteless. My shrimp entree was cooked to death. There wasn't a single decent part of the entire meal. And for 10 people it costed about $600 without alcohol.
You can get an entire Thanksgiving dinner from many places. They provide the turkey, sides and dessert all cooked and ready to eat. I've never done this, but it might be a better solution if you don't want the stress of cooking a huge dinner.
I think the answer depends on two things. The restaurant you've chosen and whether or not you want to cook. You've not settled on the restaurant idea and mention only the cost as a factor. But I wonder if you would feel that it made more sense to cook if you were having additional guests.
Thanksgiving is a great time to reach out to friends and neighbors who might be on their own. We're shared some great holiday meals with neighbors from overseas. It makes the whole thing feel more festive and the work seem more worthwhile.
But I'm not trying to push cooking. If you go out I would do a little investigation about the restaurant. When I was young we dined out for Thanksgiving whenever we traveled to visit my paternal grandmother and the experience was very different when we changed restaurants. You've chosen a place already so I'll bet that you know that it serves food you will enjoy.
Here's one more tidbit to consider: If you cook, in addition to spending quite a bit on groceries, I find that I am always spending on household goods in advance of a big holiday meal. Fresh dishtowels, centerpieces, sometimes even linens can add up very quickly!
I suggest dining at a restaurant you love, and not one that is serving only a Thanksgiving-style meal on that day, unless it's their specialty. As others mentioned, it's likely to be overbooked and underwhelming.
And my local SuperTarget has a fully cooked meal with delicious sounding sides for $50 to feed about 8 people. Check with your local places if staying home's an option for you -- if you just wanna get out, I wouldn't try to recreate the experience in a restaurant. Do Chinese instead. ;-)
It all depends upon what you want from the holiday. We used to ALWAYS do thanksgiving and christmas dinner at my grandmother's house, with everything home-cooked. However, my grandmother is now 94 years old, and while for a few years we continued with the tradition despite her being too frail to help with the cooking, the production of getting the house ready for a big dinner is too much for her now, even with help. The option of having another family member take over the meal is not very realistic at this point, since it is also hard for my grandmother to travel, and the nearest family member that could easily handle the meal involves an overnight stay for grandma.
So, we all still come to her, but now we go out for dinner. We've done it the past few years, and everyone likes the new tradition. For one, there are NO DISHES. For two, despite the predominance of people who preferred turkey and all the trimmings for thanksgiving dinner, there were those rebels in our family who were bored with the same menu year after year. Now everyone can order what they want, be it turkey, duck, ham or prime rib. Finally, we all came to the conclusion that by FAR the most important part of the holiday was being together with family, which is served just as well by a restaurant meal than a gathering at home. The value that you put on the meal itself is really subjective; in our case, we have a reliable and nice place to have dinner, so the quality of the meal is never in question, and nobody really minds the price.
I have to say, I've only had dinner out once in my life and I didn't care for it. We were in New Orleans and the food was great, but I felt robbed by not having any left overs or any of the classic, comfort dishes that I grew up with.
Same thing when I go over to someone's house for Thanksgiving. I've taken to at least roasting a turkey breast and stuffing even if we're not hosting Thanksgiving -- just for the left overs.
For a small group, moderation is the key. You don't necessarily have to have a HUGE feast with 10 different sides, pick your 2-3 faves and go from there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
If you feel like skipping the cooking and cleaning, you should go out and have fun. However, the food served at a typical Thanksgiving dinner is quite inexpensive. I'm sure it costs less than an ordinary dinner party. Paying restaurant prices for that kind of food is silly, in a way. Maybe getting the food to go from an upscale grocery is a good compromise.
We're having Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant for the first time this year, out of state, just 3 of us, in a city that is halfway between us. I enjoyed researching the restaurants. What I chose was a place that is still offering a good looking (and visible online) menu - not a buffet, and not just traditional thanksgiving dinner. I've found that limited menu holiday meals (like last Valentines at a favorite steak place) not necessarily up to par, so the more it looked like their regular menu the better.
You can always cook a turkey and dressing any day of the year if you want leftovers, there is no rule that says it has to be on that day! The point is to do whatever you need to do to enjoy the time with your people.
I'm doing it half/half this year, ordering some things in, making some things, family is making some things..
A little less time in the kitchen, a little more time relaxing, but still get left overs and still enjoy whipping a few things together.
I was surprised to read this in my local paper's dining out column:
"With Thanksgiving only two weeks away, if you're among the one in 10 Americans that now dine out on Turkey Day, you'd best get reservations made, pronto. Thanksgiving is now the busiest day of the year for many restaurants, having overtaken past champs like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Many of those area restaurants with a hearth and home ambiance report they're already close to being sold out for the day, so those wanting to dine out on Nov. 23 who keep procrastinating will soon find their options rather limited."
It maybe a bit off subject, but I was listening to Joan Hamburg on one of NYC's local talk radio stations the other morning,and the topic of dinner out for Thanksgiving came up. She said that she and her family have been going out for a few years...to the same place, and they have dinner there, but the place always let them bring their own "family" stuffing. I am not sure if there are regulations that apply to this sort of thing, but I thought it was pretty neat that you can avoid the hassle of preparing a full meal at home, but still have a piece of home with you. It can't hurt to ask!
When your closest family is 500 miles away, when you work in a position (think retail, health care, etc.) where you don't get more than the holiday off, eating a restaurant meal on a holiday can be a real pleasure.
I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a bad holiday meal (except the St. Louis Del Taco disaster Christmas Day 1989). Look for the places you normally enjoy. We usually spend in the $20-30 range pp.
We always go out on Christmas...totally worth it. We usually have a big homemade family meal on Christmas Eve then spend the morning with everyone around the tree and a light breakfast and then Dad takes everyone out for a really nice dinner so none of us have to work or fuss. (and with both parents getting elderly and their health slipping we really cherish these dinners as we get older...it's such a great tradition and won't be the same when we're not all together)
Thanksgiving we always cook(actually I always cook, it's been "my" holiday for family cooking since college). I enjoy it...it's such a low key holiday with nothign going on BUT the meal and really turkey dinner isn't too hard to prepare...everyone helps us put on the christmas decorations while the turkeys roasting...if everythign is prepped the night before it's only those last 30 minutes or so before eating when it all comes together that take work.
We did get married the day after thanksgiving...that year we had about 30 people for thanksgiving dinner due to the out of town company. With the rehersal the day before and the wedding the day after I wasn't going to tackle thanksgiving dinner for that crowd too so i did order everything from the local high end grocer. It worked out really well and everyone enjoyed it.
No matter where your dinner comes from enjoy the day and whomever you spend it with...that's what really counts!
I think it depends more on whether you like to cook or not than what you're willing to spend. Last Thanksgiving I decided that for the first time in 20 years I was going out rather than doing all of the cooking (I'm the only one in the family who cooks). We went to a top shelf restaurant that we'd been to many times before only to have (for 3 out of 4 of us) a very mediocre meal and spent $250, and it was BYO! No one ordered the turkey option. I was so totally disappointed in the food that I may never go there again. Yes Thanksgiving is all about friends and family, but I'd rather spend a decent amount of money at the supermarket on quality ingredients, including splurging on a heritage bird, and spend two days in the kitchen cooking great food for them than eating food out that I could have prepared better myself. But that's my peeve about most restaurants. If they can't do it better than I can, why bother?
I did this two years ago, with my aunt, mother and sister in a small restaurant in Manhattan. It ran us roughly $55 per person.
On the downside, it was pricey -- $220 for the four of us (and that's before tip and drinks) would be enough cash for me to throw Thanksgiving for dozens (which I've done).
On the upside, however, it was interesting to see a lot of classic Thanksgiving dishes in a new light. Standards like the turkey were not messed with; the mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce and other sides were improved upon or changed in a good way.
Would I do it again? No, probably not, given the cost. I don't believe it's worth the money.
While I sometimes think it would certainly be a lot easier to go out, I wouldn't give it up. Thanksgiving Day is also about the phone calls before to coordinate the meal, the kids helping set the table,Scrabble afterwords on the dining room table while eating the fruit and nuts from the bowl, and the turkey sandwiches that appear later in the evening, when you think you couldn't eat another bite.
re: Leslie
oh, yeah , I forgot, Thanksgiing at home also means that my father can take a snooze between dinner and dessert and we can all argue politics louder at home than in a restaurant.
If you've traveled, or the people in the family don't have room in their home to host everyone
( hey-in NYC this can happen!) then going out can be a really nice option. Then, everyone can be comfortable and included and relaxed. It's so hard to enjoy when you're squished, or feel stressed about your guests feeling that way.
Choose carefully so the restaurant has the environment and vibe that you think best matches your family's needs.
We always went out for a big Christmas dinner ( We're Jewish) b/c it was my grandfather's birthday and there were tons of families at all of the great restaurants we picked over the years. If we got antsy at the table as kids, we'd read a book, sleep on the banquette, or pay a quiet game under the table.
Follow up report. First, thanks, everybody, for all your thoughtful input.
First thing I did was cancel the really expensive restaurant, and we had a choice among three others. The one we chose was the cheapest, $25 each, but with a buffet (which I hate so had low expectations), but has an ocean view, which I always love, and at a restaurant with pretty good food on a regular day.
In the meantime, I started to put together home cooked elements of our traditional Thanksgiving day meal, but with a turkey breast--a compromise because I like the stuffing out of the bird. I even made whole wheat rolls, plus bread for turkey sandwiches, since the leftovers were kind of the whole point of this backup plan. I'm kind of embarrassed to say I ended up going nearly the whole 9 yards, but by spacing it out over time there was no pressure, & on the day itself we got dressed up & went out to eat.
The meal itself? Well, there was an ocean view. In case I ever was in danger of doing a buffet again, that was the last time. The turkey was pretty good, mashed potatoes , too--a taste of the roast beef & ham revealed that the meat & poultry were the highlights. Most of the numerable sides were somewhat above industrial. The desserts were pretty dreadful, though pretty and plentiful. No, there was some very good fresh pineapple.
So, if we had settled for this as our meal, it would have been a bit economical.
I spent more on the home cooked part, but we enjoyed it following day at our leisure, and this will provide meals for several days--I'll have a stash of turkey pot pies, and other items in the freezer.
So in the end we did both. I'm still not sure what the answer is, since the day itself was festive & restful (though the sight of overfed Americans tripping over one another with plates overloaded with food is not a pretty picture). Did I mention I hate buffets? Then why did we choose this? The ocean, plus prior good experiences at this restaurant.
But doing both certainly was not frugal.
So for next year if it's just us, I'll probably cook--or go someplace better--the 2 non-buffets we rejected might have been better choices.
But I'm glad to have the frig full of food, so maybe I'll just cook, and if we're just the 3 of us, invite some strays as we have done many times.
Thanks, again.

When Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn recruited Johan de Nysschen to head the Infiniti brand last year, he wanted his new recruit to accomplish much the same for Nissan's luxury brand as de Nysschen had done in turning around the fortunes of Audi in the US market. Only Ghosn wanted it done on a global basis.
Some of the results of de Nysschen's disruptive new strategy have become evident now, as Infiniti newly targets both China and its home country of Japan as it attempts to achieve Ghosn's target of 10 percent of the world premium market by 2020.
In China, de Nysschen told Bloomberg, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and his old employer, Audi, "have become so successful that they've become almost a little bit ubiquitous. They're everywhere. And this is where we see a big opportunity with this new emerging premium consumer, to offer them an alternative, reinvent the notion of exclusivity."Continue reading...

Megamind, and its brandlessness, is number one for a second weekend in a row, remaining the #1 movie in the U.S. and destroying Skyline and Morning Glory, the latter of which got an interesting review from one viewer.
DreamWorks' Megamind also beat Unstoppable, which means everyone should get ready for a week of "stoppable" jokes in reports about the box office numbers. But then, any film that takes an oxymoron as its title should expect what it gets. From a product placement perspective, which is the only perspective Brandcameo knows, Unstoppable is notable for really only one reason: Fox.Continue reading...

New Lens Can See Tiny Objects in 3-D
A new lens can resolve tiny objects in 3-D, such as the tip of a ballpoint pen in this image.
CREDIT: Ohio State University
Engineers have invented a lens that enables microscopic objects to be seen from nine different angles at once to create a 3-D image.
Other 3-D microscopes use multiple lenses or cameras that move around an object, whereas the new lens is the first single, stationary lens to create microscopic 3-D images by itself, according to its makers.
Researchers called the lens a proof of concept for manufacturers of microelectronics and medical devices , who currently use very complex machinery to view the tiny components that they assemble.
"Ultimately, we hope to help manufacturers reduce the number and sizes of equipment they need to miniaturize products," Allen Yi, associate professor of integrated systems engineering at Ohio State University, said in a statement. Yi is co-author of a paper in a recent issue of the Journal of the Optical Society of America A.
The prototype lens, which is about the size of a fingernail, looks at first glance like a gem cut for a ring, with a flat top surrounded by eight facets. Although gemstones are cut for symmetry, this lens is asymmetric – the sizes and angles of its facets vary in minute ways that are hard to see with the naked eye.
"No matter which direction you look at this lens, you see a different shape," Yi explained.
Such a lens is called a "freeform lens," a type of freeform optics that has been in use for more than a decade.
Making the lens
Paper co-author Lei Li, also of Ohio State, wrote a new computer program to design a freeform lens capable of imaging microscopic objects.
Then the researchers used a commercially available milling tool with a diamond blade to cut the desired lens shape from a piece of the common thermoplastic material polymethyl methacrylate, a transparent plastic that is sometimes called acrylic glass.
The final lens resembled a rhinestone, with a faceted top and a wide, flat bottom. They installed the lens on a microscope with a camera looking down through the faceted side and centered tiny objects beneath the flat side.
Seeing in three dimensions
Each facet captured an image of the objects from a different angle, which can be combined on a computer into a 3-D image .
The engineers successfully recorded 3-D images of the tip of a ballpoint pen – which has a diameter of about one millimeter – and a miniature drill bit with a diameter of 0.2 millimeters.
"Using our lens is basically like putting several microscopes into one microscope," Li said. "For us, the most attractive part of this project is we will be able to see the real shape of micro-samples instead of just a two-dimensional projection."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Teachers in Broward have reached a contract with the school district, granting instructors a $500 cash bonus and no unpaid furlough days.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports the one-time bonuses will cost the district about $7 million but the contract will help secure $30 million in federal funding from the Race to the Top grant.
Palm Beach schools reached a similar agreement in June.
New legislation requires states to create merit-pay plans. Florida is receiving $400 million in Race to the Top funds, which could help districts pay for it. But without a contract, Broward could have lost its $30 million share.
