Cornell Bhangra was featured in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in New York City, marking the first time a bhangra team has performed at the annual parade.
Ithaca Tompkins International Airport announced that it is partnering with Swarthout Coaches for a special Thanksgiving shuttle service connecting Cornell campus to the airport.
Cornellians voiced their concerns as students struggle to head home given the comparatively short Thanksgiving break.
The bubble will soon pop as my flight leaves the airport, and the magic from Ithaca will fade as I enter back into the real world. Going back home means reconnecting with your childhood and viewing things you once took for granted from a new perspective. Home may not be as familiar anymore, but there’s now just a new aspect of it that you have the privilege to explore.
With Thanksgiving break beginning next week, students shared their plans to return to their hometown routines, visit friends and have a Thanksgiving meal at the Morrison Dining Hall.
Since its launch in 2013, crowdfunding program at Cornell raised over $2.5 million, supporting more than 200 project teams from over 14,000 donors. As Thanksgiving approaches, Cornell yet again hosts crowdfunding in hopes to raise money for student organizations and project teams.
Last year, I wrote a column titled “20 Things to be Thankful for in 2020: Cornell Edition” to encourage Cornellians to be thankful in spite of the struggles of the pandemic. Rereading that article is just a glimpse into how drastically our lives were changed by the start of the 2020 pandemic.
The smells, sights, tastes and drunk uncles of Thanksgiving make it the national holiday that we know and love. Turkey drowned in gravy and cranberry sauce, cornbread that crumbles in your mouth and heaping plates of mashed potatoes all come to mind as Thanksgiving classics. Sadly, much of this delicious nourishment contains gluten.
Celiac disease, a disease in which the small intestine is unable to process wheat, rye and barley, affects about 1% of the population, including myself. As the holiday season nears, I often get asked, “What do you even eat?” and “Wait, you can’t have bread?” followed by a look of astonishment. To give non-celiac individuals a look into my holiday rituals, I’ve composed a brief guide to a gluten free Thanksgiving.
Go crazy on the cranberry sauce
This step is relatively easy, as everyone loves cranberry sauce.
Most of these cases came from spread within households and small gatherings, usually Thanksgiving celebrations and holiday parties.
I want to love Thanksgiving ー family, friends and an abundance of food ー but I have never really been a Thanksgiving person. Thanksgiving has the classic foods that everyone looks forward to, but I just don’t get what’s so special. Turkeys kind of freak me out because they’re so big, sure cranberry sauce is good but it’s over-hyped and I don’t understand why mashed potatoes are typified as a Thanksgiving food. For all the whining I do about Thanksgiving, it’s hard to not get caught up in the spirit of it. Fall is my favorite season ー the leaves change colors, everything is so crisp and it finally starts to get cold.
