I am forwarding a note from John Birge, Classical MPR’s morning drive host:

“With classical music and stories for Thanksgiving, tune in for a new edition of Giving Thanks: A Celebration of Fall, Food, & Gratitude. This year’s special guest is chef Jacques Pépin, who’s been cooking on public television for 20 years, including his series with Julia Child. Jacques Pépin’s message is as timely as today’s headlines:
“Thanksgiving is the greatest example of what a great dinner should be: a meal that welcomes people of all religious, political or ethnic persuasions. The table is the great equalizer, and everyone around that table gets along with one another and enjoys life with family and strangers alike.”
Pépin joins me to talk turkey, to remember his most memorable Thanksgiving, and to share his secret recipe for gratitude. This year Giving Thanks also delves into the deeper meaning of bread with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and finds gratitude in Our Town from Thornton Wilder. And of course, Charles Laughton’s Chartres Cathedral story, a Thanksgiving tradition for the past 18 years. Giving Thanks airs Wednesday at 7 p.m., and again on Thanksgiving morning at 10 — or any time, on-demand, on our website.

I don’t have any news about the APHC show yet, so you will have to check the website www.prairiehome.org on Friday. Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels. We are heading to Chandler Arizona for Charlie’s 7th birthday party.
