Mealtime...
Talking turkey: It's platter season
(BPT) - What's your idea of the perfect Thanksgiving meal? A big family buffet, or perhaps an intimate evening with a few close friends? Thanksgiving brings us together from near and far for all sorts of fun-filled traditions that are uniquely our own. And while those traditions may vary somewhat as families grow and our lives change over time, there's one constant at the heart of Thanksgiving entertaining - the beloved turkey platter.
"Turkey platters really are the Christmas tree of Thanksgiving," says Keith Winkler, product marketing manager at dinnerware giant Replacements, Ltd. "When you talk about Thanksgiving, I think most Americans picture that iconic Norman Rockwell painting with the mother serving the perfect turkey on a huge platter. Even though that image has been reinterpreted in so many ways as times have changed, the platter has always remained the centerpiece of the gathering, even for those who by-pass the bird to serve another main course for their Thanksgiving meal."
Winkler notes there's also a strong sentimental attachment to this seasonal favorite. Turkey platters often become heirloom pieces, handed down in many families, making the platter even more special.
Turkey dinnerware history 101
The history behind Turkey patterns and ultimately the iconic platter is literally as old as the holiday itself.
When Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving official back in 1863, English potters seized the opportunity to target the growing American market by producing turkey-themed dinner plates and platters. These ingenious designers generally took an existing design and replaced the center with a turkey motif to create those first Thanksgiving patterns. Manufacturers such as Spode, Mason's and Wood & Sons used their colorful transferware patterns to start a new holiday tradition, which became an instant hit.
In fact, Replacements' most popular Thanksgiving pattern, His Majesty by Johnson Brothers, started as an accent plate in the company's Friendly Village pattern. The English manufacturer received so much demand for this particular motif that the company turned the proud Tom Turkey-adorned plate into its own pattern.
The great platter hunt
Designers say you don't have to buy entire set of turkey-themed dinnerware to find the perfect platter. Replacements' Julie Robbins notes you can find platters that blend well with any pattern, from the very old to the very new.
"Turkey platters aren't necessarily bird-themed; you'll find them in designs ranging from florals to even scenic vistas," Robbins says. "Think who is going to be at your table, what you're serving and find a platter that speaks to you. If you're serving turkey, it doesn't matter whether you're carving your bird in the kitchen or on the table, just make sure it's large enough to accommodate your guests. So many people make the mistake of trying to put a large turkey on a 12-inch platter and quite frankly, that is just too small and it's not going to work. This is a special piece, not an everyday platter."
Robbins adds she's seen people do wonderful things with a small turkey, such as placing vegetables around the bird to fill out the larger platter and complete the look. Turkey platters aren't only fun, many are also functional. Lenox and several other manufacturers produce turkey-shaped platters and other autumn themed serving pieces in alternative metal serveware. This is a special alloy that when heated or chilled maintains temperature to keep foods warm or cold.
Gobble up this season's table top trends
Many dinnerware companies are producing Thanksgiving or turkey-themed accent plates and platters to mix and match with everyday dinnerware in colors and motifs to fit all tastes and lifestyles, from the very traditional to a more modern aesthetic. And if Tom Turkey isn't the right design element for your table, Robbins says you can still create a seasonal feel, minus the bird.
"You can use fall leaf or even woodland patterns to create a classic Thanksgiving table without going with a turkey motif. Even beautiful classic fruit patterns give your table that cornucopia or horn of plenty flair."

Housekeeping...
From stains to storage: Easy home cleaning solutions that open up time for fun
(BPT) - Juggling parenting duties and work obligations, not to mention household chores, is a lot for one person to take on and yet, moms like you do this every single day. So often you get caught up in all the busyness, you forget to set aside time to relax or just have some fun. Fortunately, there are ways to streamline cleaning duties, so you don't have to spend every spare moment scrubbing the floor and tackling clutter. Follow these five easy cleaning solutions to efficiently maintain your beautiful home and open up more time to do the things you love.
Purge, purge, purge: While getting rid of broken appliances and barely worn clothes initially takes some time, the results are well worth it. After removing barely-used belongings, you'll have less stuff to store, which prevents clutter from piling up and causing stress in the future.
When getting rid of junk, start in the area that contains the bulk of your possessions, such as the bedroom or hallway closets. Tackling the problem head-on and getting the worst part over with first will motivate you to complete the project.
Stress less about stains with a convenient carpet cleaner: When you have kids and/or pets, stains are just a part of life. That doesn't mean, however, you have to let stains interfere with your schedule. A quality carpet cleaning solution, such as the STAINMASTER Carpet Care line, will lift away tough stains and ground-in dirt so they don't take away from your home's style. STAINMASTER Carpet Care products begin cleaning on contact to remove even the most stubborn stains, and each cleaning solution provides an invisible shield to repel dirt to protect against re-soiling. Problems with carpet odor? STAINMASTER Pet Stain Remover also removes odor and leaves behind a light, fresh scent.
Add a mud tray in the entryway: Every time you mop the entryway floor, it seems to be dirty again in just a couple days. Winter and spring are especially hard on your floors, as kids and pets often track in mud, water and snow. To keep your floors clean, and reduce the need for mopping, set up a mud tray to store dirty boots and shoes. Mud trays are often made of tough plastic, which means they are easy to hose off and keep clean. Plus, you can find stylish designs that fit in well with your welcoming home.
Always put belongings back in their designated spot: It's easy to finish eating and say to yourself "I'll put these dishes in the dishwasher later," or, maybe you put off putting laundry away when you're in a rush. But in a few days, small clutter can turn into a big mess. Pretty soon, you'll be overwhelmed by the clothes scattered on the floor and the dishes covering the kitchen counter, and you'll be forced to spend a good hour or two putting belongings away.
To avoid belongings from piling up, get in the habit of putting items away when you're done with them. It might seem like a hassle at first, but this small change in your daily to-do list will have a big impact on your weekly cleaning routine.
Use extra wall space for storage: If lack of storage space is constantly causing clutter, take advantage of bare wall space to install shelves or hang belongings, like coffee cups or hats. This simple trick can enhance your home's style and maximize storage without taking up floor space.
Don't spend more time cleaning than you have to - new habits and a few superior products are all you need to streamline your routine and open up more time for fun.

Brunch With The Author
The Friends of the Bangor Public Library will host their Fall “Brunch with the Author” on Saturday, November 12th @ 10:00 AM. Local author, Anna Maria Caldera will be the featured author. She will be presenting. Sherwood Anderson on Life and Writing. This is Anna’s tenth book and one that pays homage to her favorite author, Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941). Anderson was a chronicler of the common person during the post- Civil War industrialization of America. A recurring theme was the effect of factories on farmers whose connection to the land had been severed. While popular magazines, novels, and screen plays of the day upheld the wealthy as the subjects of greatest interest, Anderson’s literary output focused on the lowly. Ms. Caldara will familiarize the audience with Anderson’s work and his advice to writers.
The event is free, but donations will be accepted. Registration for attendance is required by calling the library at 610-588-4136. The library is located at 39 South Main Street, Bangor, PA. For additional information contact: Karen Brewer @ 610-588-8615.
