The Best Gift You Can Give Today? Better Food.

Coming out of Thanksgiving weekend, we’re bursting with gratitude — for our Bittman Project community, the ability to purchase and cook wonderful nutritious food, and the joy of eating with friends and family. The best way we know to demonstrate our appreciation is to offer something back.

JFK Season

If you’re my age – 73 – Thanksgiving is “JFK season,” a phrase originated by the subject of a recent Scott Sayere piece. Kennedy was shot on November 22, a Friday; Thanksgiving was the following Thursday. In my family, that was a busy time, anyway, because my parents’ wedding anniversary was November 23 and, for good measure, my mother’s birthday a week later. Throw in the occasional early Hanukkah and in some years, it was a full week of ritual, remembrances, and celebrations.
