In homage to this season of gratitude, when we look back and take stock of blessings, we are returning to our Thanksgiving Word Search.
While reviewing a year’s worth of thoughts, recipes, and exercises, we see words and concepts that might be a good reminder to us all and that could provide an opportunity to start a conversation around the holiday table.
Don’t know what to say to Aunt Martha? Pull this Foodtalk4you word search out to start a discussion about avgolemono, umami, or turmeric. Click the links in this post to reread the source article.
You might even share a chuckle and some personal antidotes about your own ‘nimrod’ experiences.
You can download the puzzle to print, and the answers are below to download as well.
Happy review and word search!
Avgolemono – literally meaning egg-lemon. Check out this Jan 9th post to learn how these two ingredients ramp up the yummy factor in this soup.
Mirepoix – the holy trinity of initial ingredients used in the avgolemono soup.
Umami – this February 13th post speaks the language of mushrooms and how they add the “fifth” taste.
Ineffable – Janet Gallagher’s words describing the deep meaning of the indescribable on April 30th.
Relaxers – what chemicals in unregulated American hair products can do to the unsuspecting users on June 18th.
Gratitude – consistently labeled the one thing we need more of to rise above the fray and to achieve personal calm and meaning on July 9th.
Namaste – click the link in this post from July 30th to share a moment or two with Aunt Martha that could transform each of you!
Chimichurri – an amazing addition to almost everything. I have since learned to chop the parsley more, more, more! It helps to thicken and enhance the flavors. Maybe use less fluid as well. September 3rd has the recipe.
Oxytocin – it’s all about the hugs found in this October 1st post. Are you getting enough?
Turmeric – my favorite anti-inflammatory ingredient for soup found in this October 15th post.
Nimrod – my alter ego at its worst.
Hummus – this crowd-pleasing pumpkin hummus is now a cherished recipe found on November 12th.
Well, Christmas decorations may start popping up soon at our house as our time to enjoy them will be short-lived due to traveling.
I need to get into a festive mood so the Hallmark movies can feel right! LOL
One thing for sure, our readers are a blessing to us, and hearing from you in the comments is such a treat!
We wish each of you a blessed time of being thankful whether with family or friends – or strangers.
In health –
