:halloween: Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all Canadian VJers! Enjoy and be thankful for this holiday filled with family, friends, and food! :halloween:

Ant

Thanks!! You too..

This is my first Thanksgiving away from my (former) home... :( I'm missing my family. But I have Tim and he's keeping me company :) I wanted to go out today to buy something nice for dinner, but it' POURING with rain. First time I've seen that here! Guess I kinda feel like I'm home in BC after all! :lol: and to think, two days ago it was 90 F/32C. Maybe we'll risk the rain, go get soaked, and I'll buy either a ham, or a big chicken to do in the oven.

I look forward to American Thanksgiving next month. Not sure what it will entail yet, I've been to one a couple years ago at Tim's sister's place. It was a small gathering of family and I loved it. I'm not sure I'm ready to entertain here yet..I've so much to organize in this house! * What is she doing on VJ then? )

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Update: I survived Canadian Thanksgiving here in the USA with my Canadian relatives, and with newborn baby and all! There were no family feuds, we all had a great time and thankful meal....

The 3lb turkey breast turned out delicious, everyone loved it, and it only took 2-3 hours (I defrosted it beforehand), and it was enough for everyone (as you can see, we don't eat much turkey overall). In fact, we even had some leftovers, which we made turkey sandwiches with the next day. We also had chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, gravy, salad, rolls, fresh apple cider, and for dessert we had homemade pumpkin pie and ice cream.

Yummy!......

Might think about doing the same thing for American Thanksgiving coming up...(though with more food and more turkey for this one....).

And as for hosting Canadian Thanksgiving in the USA next year....we'll see...

Oh how fun it is to have 2 Thanksgivings a year! One can never have enough turkey and food, indeed!....

Hope all you Canadians had a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving this week too and Happy American Thanksgiving up... Gobble Gobble!

Ant

P.S. We also had our first snowfall for Thanksgiving this week in October too. Winter is coming! Oh my!
