Others find as much comfort in the distraction offered by the act of preparing food—the smells, sensations, and physical work in the kitchen.

The following spring the Indians taught them how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists, and other crops in the unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish. In the autumn of 1621, crops of corn, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists had much to be thankful for, so the feast was planned to thank the Indians.
