Thanksgiving is a time to give back and share with those around you and to be truly thankful for what you are blessed with. A favorite Thanksgiving memory of mine is a volunteer neighborhood dinner, clothes and food drive I use to help with.
When gray autumn skies and wet leaves have me shivering as I step outside, and the weeks hurry on towards Thanksgiving, I crave the thick, heavy warmth of hot chocolate.
There are few things in this world that make me cringe. The phrase “Black Friday shopping” is one of them. I guess I can’t be too hard on the shopping aspect of the day because I’ve never been able to do it. I was always the miserable person working.
On Monday, Nov. 18, Black Leaders Aspiring for Critical Knowledge held an event called “Family Feud: EMU Edition” in the Student Center Auditorium. Inspired by the original TV game show hosted by comedian Steve Harvey, B.L.A.C.K. invited a variety of different clubs and organizations to get involved in the festivities as part of B.L.A.C.K. Week.
On Friday, the Quirk-Sponberg Theater grew still as 7 p.m. drew near. The soft sound of children shushing was heard around the theater, bouncing off exposed brick walls as the lights dimmed. Children and parents sat in anticipation to see the world of author C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia” come to life as the Eastern Michigan University Theatre for the Young presented its production of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”
Lights, music, dancing, smiles and fun accurately describe the atmosphere in the McKenny Ballroom during the Bollywood Dance Night on Friday. The event was LBC approved and a conclusion to the International Week events.

There’s something about the lowly carrot. The combination of juicy sweetness and crunchy spiciness in a raw carrot made it a perfect snack when I was a kid. I was in college before I discovered a version of cooked carrots that I liked: caramelized carrots.
It’s that time of year again. Snow is coming down, Thanksgiving decorations are up and final exams are looming around the corner.
Quilting, sewing pieces of colorful patchwork squares together to make a thick blanket, has gotten a, let’s say, “old-fashioned” reputation in recent times. A quick trip to upscale stores such as Pottery Barn and Anthropologie show that quilts themselves are more popular than ever.
The problem I have with most pubs or bars is that I can either get great food or great beer, but never both. The Wurst Bar, 705 W Cross St., has solved that problem for me with a variety of menu options and a fantastic beer list. It ranks high on my list of local bars.
The coming of winter brings cozy sweaters, fun in the snow and the risk of dry, chapped, flaking skin that’s so damaged it seems as if it will never return to normal again. As a person who struggles with both eczema and sensitivity, I’ve learned it doesn’t take dermatologist treatments to cure winter skin problems – just a bit of prevention, the right products and even some do-it-yourself remedies.
Besides our neighbors south of the border, Italians may have the best food anywhere in the world. Whenever I eat Italian food, I become akin to a hungry child who can’t wait to sit down and chow down. Italians seem to have innate cooking skills, and a good cook is flexible with ingredients. Recently, my travels led me to Argiero’s Italian Restaurant in Ann Arbor.
The season brings the spirit of being thankful but giving back to those in need. This month, volunteer around your city during these events and local centers to make someone’s holiday special.

As Americans remembered the fallen and the ones who have fought to keep our own fall at bay, the Ypsilanti Community Choir did their part to remember by teaming up with the Saline New Horns Band for a veterans’ tribute concert on November 10.
Dreading the switch from creepy Halloween television to cheesy Christmas episodes? Don’t be. The solution? Every Wednesday on Fox at 10 p.m, “American Horror Story: Coven” airs to fulfill every sick and twisted desire in a series.
In a room of women, the one thing they all have in common is what also makes them different – a set of experiences that make each and every one of those women who they are.
Some weekend mornings when I’m still up earlier than anyone else in the house, I like to make muffins. They’re simple, delicious and perfect for an easy weekend morning.
