10. CULINARY CORNER: Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Toss 1 cup of cranberries with 2 TBS sugar in a separate bowl. Spread the cheese mixture in a baking dish and top with sugared cranberries. Bake for 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly and cranberries begin to burst. Sprinkle with 2 TBS chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with crackers or bread.

ANSWER TO #7: Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird. Sara Josepha Hale is named the Mother of Thanksgiving. In 1963, she wrote a letter to President Lincoln and Secretary of State William Seward asking for Thanksgiving to be a national holiday. She hoped this would help our nation heal from the Civil War. Now you know.
