　　People usually celebrate special occasions by preparing special food．Families may prepare traditional dinners for holidays such as New Year’s Day and Thanksgiving．Birthdays and other special days are often times for baking special cakes．Even celebrations famous only in small areas, such as memorial days for a place or event, can be a time for proud cooks to show off the food that they make the best．Sometimes this food may seem a little strange to the rest of us．

　　Weddings are celebrations where food is often an important part of the ceremony or party．Of course, the kinds of food prepared for weddings are different all around the world．One kind of food enjoyed at weddings in the Middle East and some parts of North Africa by members of the Bedouin tribe is roasted camel．This food is not easy to prepare, but when people want to go all out for the wedding, they ask the whole tribe to help with the effort．Tribe members first cook an egg mixture which they then put inside cooked fish．These fish are then put inside several cooked chickens．The chickens then get put into roasted sheep．Usually one or two sheep will be enough to fill one roasted camel．One roasted camel serves 20 to 30 people, so this dish may be enjoyed by the entire tribe at the wedding．

　　Chocolate chip cookies may not seem like a very special food, but organizers of the yearly festival which celebrates the city’s birth in Ripon, Wisconsin made one cookie that was very special．On July 11, 1992, festival organizers attempted to bake the largest chocolate chip cookie in the world．It took the organizers months of planning and experimentation before they thought up a way to bake the cookie on a large, slowly turning tray．The recipe which the bakers used called for one and a half tons of raw cookie dough, made up of a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and milk．They also mixed four million chocolate chips into the dough．The tray itself was 10 meters(34 feet)across the middle, and it rotated so that one art of the cookie passed over a low flame that did not move．The cookie took two and a half hours to bake．Organizers of the festival then cut up the cookie and served it to 8,163 people at the festival．

Three years ago, when Steve Baker's stepson was stationed （驻军）in Iraq, the soldier received a birthday present from home．It was a guitar, and it was a hit．Word spread, and his friends began asking for instruments．

Steve and his wife, Barb, are longtime musicians who believe in music's power to comfort and inspire．"With music, for just a minute, you're back home," Steve says．

The Bakers organized a silent auction （拍卖）at the local American Legion and raised $900． The Bakers sent off 22 guitars three days later．

They named their effort Operation Happy Note, and in the following months, Steve and Barb boxed and mailed banjos, mandolins, trumpets, clarinets, harmonicas and other instruments．A man in Iowa donated four boxes of violins．A left-handed guitarist sent four guitars for lefties．A retired couple in Florida mailed a check for $2,000．

Eventually Barb left her part-time job to devote herself to Operation Happy Note．"We feel that this is our task in life," she says．"The money isn't that important．We're not starving, and our light bill's paid．"

Last Christmas, the Bakers shipped 48 guitars, drumsticks, harmonicas, and extra strings and picks． The instruments arrived in Iraq three days before Christmas．"Before, you'd see guys with their iPods on, listening to music, staying away from everybody else," says Sgt．Kashia．"But when the guitars came, people got together．We'd have four or five guys playing the guitar, and 25 or 30 others laughing and singing．"

In the past three years, Operation Happy Note has sent nearly 630 free instruments to American troops around the world．Scores of thank-you e-mails from soldiers make it all worthwhile．This Christmas, the Bakers plan to ship Santa hats, decorations, holiday CDs and sheet music along with the instruments．

Sgt．Timothy Hall, a mapmaker in the 3rd Infantry Division, put it this way: "The music takes me away to another world—one that is peaceful and calm, where there is no hate, death or dirt．That sort of military transport is a miracle （奇迹）． The Bakers are our heroes．"
