Buy a Turkey

Going to someone else's house for Thanksgiving? Why not buy a turkey anyway...for someone who needs one? Spice up your excessive eating day with a little gratitude and giving?

Lyra was a lab rat at Harvard the other day for an experiment that entailed her looking at someone picking up an apple for about 7 minutes and she already has earned $5. So I matched it and we together we bought a turkey for a family through the Greater Boston Food Bank.

And if you live in the Boston area, it's not too late to pick up a pie from the Pie in the Sky benefit. The online ordering is closed, but downtown locations like S. Station, Borders, and more are all selling the pies today during the day. This is the benefit where Boston chefs donate a LOT of pie and the proceeds from the sales buy food for folk who really need it.
