Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Who were you talking to the last time you said, "thank you?" the grocery clerk and bagger
2) Paul McCartney recalls that "Thank You Girl" was inspired by all the female fans who had written them fan letters, pledging undying love. Have you ever written a fan letter? If yes, did you receive a response? a fan email--to the developers of an app, and they wrote a very kind note back
3) Recording engineer Geoff Emerick remembered that John Lennon was easily winded while recording this song. John had a bad cold and went back to bed when they were done for the day. We're in cold/flu season right now. How are you feeling? currently feeling fine--I need to set up my humidifier, though, because I notice how dry it is
4) "Thank You Girl" is this week's song because November 27 was Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for this year? that I'm well
5) While the big meal is referred to as Thanksgiving dinner, most Americans enjoy it earlier than they usually serve dinner. 3:00 PM is the most popular time for the holiday feast. When did you have dinner on Thursday? we aimed for 2, but it was closer to 2:30
6) Cranberry sauce has been a Thanksgiving staple since the late 1800s. Was it on your menu this year? no, although there were cranberries in the dressing
7) The Thanksgiving Turducken is said to have originated in New Orleans. Chef Paul Prudhomme is often cited as the first to stuff a deboned chicken into a deboned duck into a deboned turkey. Prudhomme's recipe has more than 85 individual steps and takes a full day to prepare. Did you face any challenges while cooking your Thursday dinner? not at all--it was a very simple meal
8) Leftovers are popular after Thanksgiving, especially turkey sandwiches. Some cooks recommend serving cold, sliced turkey on wheat bread, but white bread, pitas and flatbread are also popular. When you head into the kitchen to make a sandwich, what's your go-to bread? Arnold brand Oatnut whole grains bread or their Healthy Multigrains bread
9) The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season and sales. Black Friday got its name in Philadelphia back in the 1950s to describe the traffic clogging both highways and side streets as consumers raced out in search of bargains. When is the last time you were stuck in traffic? I cannot remember--we don't really have traffic around here

I noticed the lack of Maine traffic when we were on our cruise back in 2019. Even in the cities, with the ship there traffic was light.
You are lucky not to have traffic. I always thank the checker. Sometimes that is me at the self-service. But I did need some assistance with that. Your bread sounds good and healthy.
I have my humidifier going also. Your Thanksgiving sounds like it was nice. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
