I could eat cherry jubilee all day long.
Its national hunting and fishing day.. national cherries jubilee day and national schwenkenfelder thanksgiving day . Is this your day??
Dear Otis,
I will go with the Schwenkenfelders today, because I had never heard of them and so learned something!
They began around 1540 in what is now Germany, and their emphasis is on inner spirituality over outward form...which makes all kinds of sense to me.
Their Thanksgiving dates from 1734, the oldest in the nation. On this date September 24 they arrived in the USA; giving thanks that they had escaped the religious persecution they'd faced in Europe: driven from their homes, imprisoned in dungeons, even sold into slavery.
I am tearing up a bit as I write this, makes me proud of my country.
I have never had a cherry jubilee but anything with cherry in it sounds tasty.... I will take the cherry!
Cherry Jubilee sounds great but that;s it today Otis.
I had never heard of the Schwenkfelders before. So I read up, and learned something new.
