Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroka Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Jimac with five good
news stories. If you don't want to cook on Thanksgiving.
A bunch of national chains or offering heat and serve,
We're ready to eat holiday meal. Some aer under twenty
bucks a person. Many include turkey, classic sides, dessert options
for both in restaurant dining and takeout. All right, let's
(00:24):
go down the list here. Cracker Barrel. I like Cracker Barrel.
It's pretty tasty. Except the last time I went, I
got almost all the way home. My wife's like I
left my phone, so I had to do a basically
a ninety minute round trip to get her phone. So
other than that, the food's great. Cracker Barrel offering family
style meals for four to six or eight to ten people.
Each meal includes two oven roasted turkey breasts, cornbread dressing,
(00:45):
turkey gravy, cranberry relish, sweet potato casseroll with peacans, green beans,
and massed potatoes, sweet yeast rolls. A long enough list
that I ran out of breath and I had to
take one there, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Cracker Barrel
says the meal can go from oven to table. In
about two two hours. A twenty four hour pre order
is recorded and you got to pick it up between
November twenty second and the thirtieth, So get moving. Boston
(01:08):
Market they have holiday meals starting at twenty bucks a
person ten person minimum though no substitutions all right. This
thing comes with a retisserie chicken meal. You can also
get turkey or hand meals. Those are twenty one bucks.
Meals include a selection of sides such as mac and cheese, potatoes,
corn creamed spinach, streamed broccoli, and stuffing waters. Can be
(01:28):
placed on the Boston Market website. Pop Eyes has brought
back Cajun style whole turkey ninety nine bucks. It comes
pre season then to requires thawing, eating and serving at home.
Got to hit their website for that. Bob Evans they
have a package fifteen to fifty per person. It includes
the Holiday Hot Family Meal for six at one hundred
and ten bucks, the pot Roast Farmhouse Feasts for eight
(01:49):
to ten people at one seventy five, and some others.
Each package includes an entree, sides, fresh bread, and dessert.
Go to the bob Evans website. Golden Corral they're doing
this as well. And choose roasted turkey, glais dam or
bone in pork roast. You gotta order seventy two hours
in advance. He want something a little different about Romano's
Macaroni grill thirty six dollars. Menu in house and to go.
(02:12):
Thanksgiving meals includes a choice of salad, soup, roasted turkey,
breast with mashed, roasted garlic, sausage and apple stuff in,
cranberry relish, Brussels sprouts, broccolini. Or maybe he'd grab to
go to Denny's Thanksgiving bundles for four is starting to
get fifty five bucks. Turkey breast stuffing, skin mashed. Gotta
order twenty four hours in advance. All right, All that
(02:33):
was just story number one. In Maine. For story number two,
a gym teacher sank fifteen hundred and sixteen three pointers
in one hour. Nice job by mister Martin. He teaches
vized at Saco Middle School. He went to the court,
he shot fifteen sixteen for sixteen eighty three. He was
trying to break the record, which was thirteen seventy two.
(02:54):
He exceeded it by one hundred and forty five. He said,
about twenty eight minutes in I had a real bad
cramp in my side. Then mister Wilson had the crowd
going crazy. It was like a message from God. Perfect timing,
and they were just loud in the perfect time, and
I fought through it. Mister Martin is a former college
star once named Mister Maine Basketball. I think that's the
(03:16):
first time I ever took the break after the second story.
But I went a little long there on the food. Okay,
let's head on over to Spain, where in a zoo.
Congratulations to the zoo and the white rhinoceros which was born.
The unnamed calf is a male, healthy and bonding well
with mom Kwanza. The zoo said. The mother's recovering perfectly,
and the lively calf scampers about with the typical clumsy
(03:37):
movement of a baby, offering heartwarming glimpses. The calf has
also met his dad, Martin, along with two other female rhinos.
The birth is extra important for the European conservation program.
Southern white rhinos are listed as a vulnerable species on
the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. Princess
Catherine aka Kate Middleton's see this is a whole thing,
(03:59):
I write the pod cast palace intrigue where we talk
about the royals, and we do it for American audiences,
so we always refer to this nice woman as Kate Middleton,
and then the Brits will get mad at us to
be like, she's Princess Catherine and I'm like, I'm from
New York anyway. Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, will
once again host her annual together at Christmas Carol Service
at Westminster. December fifth had a wedding m you know
(04:21):
her from Ted Lasso and Kate Winslet are both scheduled
to take part. Sixteen hundred people expected to attend. This
is a big deal in royal circles if you'd like
to keep up to breast on everything royal. And it's
a lot of fun the whole like Megan Markle, Prince
Harry versus Prince William, Kate Middleton thing. It's a soap opera.
It's a really fun show. Palace intrigue wherever you get
your shows. And I've got a Grinch story for you.
(04:43):
Out of the Tyndale Air Force Base in Florida, residents
were told, hey, remove those Christmas decorations. It's not Thanksgiving yet. Yeah,
there was a message posted. It said, well, driving through
the neighborhoods yesterday, it was noticed that Christmas decorations have
already begun to appear within the community. All holiday decorations
should be reflective in their respective months and not any
(05:03):
sooner than thirty days before the given holiday. If you
currently have uleside to Core President on the outside of
your home, please remove it and reinstall it in accordance
with your community guidelines listed below. I'm sure that went overwell.
The Public Affairs Chief Captain Justin at the base told
Task and Purpose that the reels are people with just
enforcing the community standards outlined in the legally binding lease
(05:26):
agreement all residents voluntarily sign. He said the term specify
Christmas decorations may be put up starting the week after Thanksgiving,
but he did note that the rules are set by
individual privatized housing communities and that rules vary from base
to base. I don't think you guys want to have
this fight. Just let people hang their stuff and those
your five good news stories for today, have a good one.
