FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Some of the coverage in the November 27, 2003 issue of The Daniel Island News included holiday themed articles. “Cultivate a Gratitude Attitude” by Amy Hovatter Hardee encouraged readers to consider practicing “thanksgiving” all year instead of just during November. One tip by the author was to record your gifts -- people, things, activities, events, animals, nature, etc., in a journal each day throughout the year.
Another article entitled “Safety for a Tasty Turkey” by Daniel Island resident Terrence E. Steyer, MD focused on food safety for the big day. For example, when thawing the turkey, Dr. Steyer suggested there are two safe ways to do it. In the refrigerator and in cold water. He stressed though, “DO NOT thaw your turkey on the kitchen counter as this increases the risk of bacterial growth.”
