Synopsis
- It's Thanksgiving, and President Bartlet has to decide how to handle a group of Chinese stowaways asking for religious asylum. Toby wants to stir up a fight on school prayer by nominating Leo's sister, a fiery school superintendent, to a post in the Department of Education. Jed hands down a family heirloom to Charlie, and CJ deals with a pair of turkeys as she decides which one gets a Presidential pardon.
"Faith is the true shibboleth."
You may recall back in my discussion of In Excelsis Deohow much I appreciate holiday-themed episodes of television series, and how they often generate some of the strongest and fondest memories of those shows. Well, here's the first Thanksgiving episode of The West Wing (first aired the day before Thanksgiving, 2000), and sure enough, it's a classic. Just the scene of Jed handing down his family heirloom carving knife to Charlie, the strongest image yet of how Charlie has become the son Jed never had, is an all-time great. I mean, look at his face after the President says, "These were made for my family by a Boston silversmith named Paul Revere":
In keeping with the overall message of Thanksgiving, the overarching theme here is indeed faith: Faith of the Christian refugees from China, who endured weeks at sea to flee to America; faith of the President in trusting their motives; faith of a father in the son he never had; Toby's (somewhat misguided) faith in forcing a battle to right the wrongs of his past; and, if you want to stretch it a bit, CJ's faith in the power of the Presidency to save turkeys.
Our story begins somewhat differently from the typical scene-setting of The West Wing. We start in San Diego, with Coast Guard officers and immigration officials discussing the discovery of stowaways on a container ship from C
GIVEWAY NOW CLOSED
Here’s a little something to brighten up a Monday morning – I’m very pleased to announce my first Fabulicious Food! giveaway from my new home.
If you were to ask any chef what the most important piece of equipment in their kitchen is, I’m sure their answer would be – a good quality, sharp knife. Sharp, is indeed, the first word that springs to mind when I think of my Global knife, although I suppose any old knife can be sharpened. But finding a knife that carries a mark of quality is an altogether different matter.
Throughout many of my recent foodie adventures I have spotted and encountered many Global knives. Many of my cooking and tasting notes (both from cookery school classes I’ve taken and more recent blogging events) feature the word ‘Global’ – scribbled down, capitalised and underlined. Japanese knives and in particular, Global knives, are used in many professional kitchens. Global knives are now also officially endorsed by the mighty Roux Family who have enjoyed a strong relationship with Global for many years with Global also being the sponsors of The Roux Scholarship.
Michel Roux Jnr, Chef Patron of the iconic restaurant ‘Le Gavroche’ now personally endorses a range within the brand, called the Michel Roux Jnr Range. His knife sets are available as a 3 piece starter set, 6 piece intermediate set and a 9 piece professional set. There are also some pretty nifty block sets in the range, so, if you’re looking for something very special to add to your Christmas wish-lists, I’d definitely recommend sticking on one of those. All of the knives and blocks in the range carry Michel Roux Jnr’s signature.
It’s fair to say, with this much prestige (and being a tiny bit of a fan of Michel Roux Jnr) I was eager to own one of these coveted specimens myself and so when I spotted Helen’s giveaway at Fuss Free Flavours, I immediately set about tweeting like a mad woman to win. Luckily for me, the stars were shi In Martin Nordin’s second book, he brings us a host of mouthwatering, modern vegetarian recipes, using the most elemental and ancient method of cooking: fire. Not just a barbecue cookbook, Fire, Smoke, Green is broken up into seven chapters that cover everything you need to know about making great food over the flame: from grilling directly onto fire, to cooking with indirect fire, smoked recipes and even wood-fired pizza. Atmospheric photography and charming illustrations throughout bring you something other than your average vegetarian cookbook – as lovers of Martin’s first book Green Burgers will attest, his approach to meat-free cooking is anything but boring. Try the Roasted and smoked potatoes with beer-caramelised onions; the Fennel roots with shiitake, green onion, buckwheat and herb oil; or Harissa-marinated sweet potato with grilled cabbage leaves and black dukkah. Or if you still can’t get enough of the burger recipes, why not try the Courgette and mungbean burgers with sriracha mayonnaise and furikake, washed down with a smoky mezcal with grilled grapefruit.
