Talking Turkey
If you're talking turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, then here's your
chance to help out in the kitchen. Dude, you can be like an electronic
grandmother. Download some good, practical advice or print some
delicious recipes. There's gravy for the potatoes, vegetable side
dishes and, who could forget, dessert. Butterball Online is stuffed with entertainment ideas, too.
There's a coloring page you can download, turkey trivia, and an audio
clip of some real turkey gobbling. So, who's going to get the wishbone
at your house?
Plimoth Plantation
Plimoth (Plymouth) Plantation was the first permanent European
settlement in southern New England. We know it as the site of the first
Thanksgiving dinner and where the Pilgrims publically acknowledged their
thanks for their well-being in this new land called America. Today, this
area is the site of a living museum, dedicated to re-creating
17th-century lifeways in the New World. You can visit Plimoth Plantation
at and see how the Pilgrims
and their Native American neighbors constructed their homes, grew crops
and cooked their meals.
Cyberkids

you've always loved a spot that's for kids and kids only! It's no
different on the Web, only now CyberKids is the place where kids
exchange stories, create art, and listen to each other's music in their

Dear Amy: For Thanksgiving we are going to visit my grandmother in
Denver. My dad wants to drive and see the mountains. How far is it? -- Eric, Phoenix, AZ
Dear Eric:To find out how far it is to Grandmother's house, you can go
to a Web site called "How far is it?" at
It has over 500 cities in its database all around the world. It not only
tells you how far (as the crow flies) but gives you latitude and
longitude, population and more! After that you can choose more links to
look at a map or to get driving details.
Dear Amy:I have looked at a lot of pages on the Internet about geology
and rocks, but all of them are about stuff I am not interested in. Is
this all there is? -- Nathan,
Portsmouth, NH
Dear Kris:If you need to find out something specific, there are experts
from the Amish to Zookeeping waiting to answer your questions. At "Ask
an Expert" there are over
200 Web sites and e-mail addresses where you can find experts to answer
your questions. Before asking a question, be sure to read "How do I use
Ask-an-Expert?" Also, you should still visit the expert's site to look
at what they have. Many of the experts have already posted previous
quetions and responses. They are all volunteers and have many other
responsibilities to attend to. You should ask questions only after you
have tried your library, too.
