Ava Week 9 - The Best Thanksgiving Foods

     I love Thanksgiving for one reason: the amazing food. Yes, there's also giving thanks and all that, but let's admit, the food is the best part. Every Thanksgiving I eat until I'm full, and then I eat some more. I'm very much looking forward to eating all the foods only accessible on this day that comes only once a year. This is my rating of Thanksgiving foods from least great to greatest.

1. Cranberry Sauce


I don't know why people like cranberry sauce so much??? I try it every year to give it another chance and every time I come to the same conclusion: cranberry sauce is just bad.

2. Turkey


I know, know, how could the most popular item on the Thanksgiving table be my least favorite? Well, I think turkey is totally overhyped. First of all, it's much dryer compared to other meats such as chicken or brisket. Second of all, turkey just tastes pretty bland in my opinion. Overall, turkey is mid. However, I still love a good turkey, gravy, and stuffing combo. 

3.  Mashed Potatoes 


You cannot go wrong with some creamy mashed potatoes. They go with everything and tie your meal together. Mashed potatoes, however, wish they could be as good as sweet potatoes.

4. Sweet Potato Casserole 


I have a sweet tooth, so it is no surprise I love the mashed sweet potatoes with the gooey marshmallows on top. It tastes so delicious together, and it's a unique recipe only to be had on Thanksgiving. 

5. Rolls


I don't know why, but the best rolls I have are always on Thanksgiving. On this day, the bread is especially soft, buttery, and smells like heaven. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

6. Pumpkin Pie


I absolutely love this dessert and find it way better than apple pie. Especially when there is some whipped cream on top. It's delicious and gives such a festive aesthetic. 

7. Stuffing


Last, but not least, comes my favorite Thanksgiving food: stuffing. It's plain and simple: stuffing is so yummy. I always get the most excited for this food. 

I'm curious to hear your take on the best Thanksgiving foods. Do you agree with my rating, or would you make a lot of changes? Have an amazing Thanksgiving!

    This ranking is the best ever. It's just objectively correct, although I would put bread rolls at the highest ranking.

    Stuffing is also my favorite Thanksgiving food too! I wonder why it is not a dish made year-round.

    I too enjoy stuffing during my Thanksgiving meal. It is just the best! Sometimes I cant control myself and eat way too much of it.

    I like your rankings a lot! I was concerned by the order of the pictures until I read that it was from least to best. I don't really like or eat stuffing but I can understand why it is rated so high. I personally think that mashed potatoes should be ranked higher and are not just "wish[ing] they could be as good as sweet potatoes."

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
