"The second Monday of October, celebrated in Canada by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health."

Also celebrated by many by eating a lot of turkey, turnips (rutabagas or Swedish turnip), parsnips, apple pie and cheese, etc.  No grits.  :D

To all the Canadian forum members, "Happy Thanksgiving."

There is no need to say 'unleaded regular gas'. It's all unleaded. Just say 'regular gas'. It's not the 70s anymore. (At least that's what my wife tells me.)

Thanks Doug
Did a number on a turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie yesterday (groan) ;D  We really do have a lot to be thankful for. The farmers are going hard combining and the weather is co-operating. Should be a very good harvest his year.

Just cooking a wild turkey for dinner, having a pumpkin pie or six (love pumkin pie) and CUTTING a whole WHACK of firewood.  Great way to spend Thanksgiving weekend.  It's my busiest season of the year---FIREWOOD.  I have had enough with firewood already and the season is just beginning.  Already dreaming about firewood at night-- Just can't get away from it. :( >:(

Thanks Doug!
The day is also celebrated by cleaning saws and sharpening chains.  ;D

Thank's Doug.

Turkey's too big for just the two of us, so it was a range-fed chicken that we buy from your friend, Nancy. Stuffing from Barb's home-made bread. Potatoes, parsnips, and carrots harvested from our garden this afternoon. Fresh apple crisp for dessert (for those of us that weren't already stuffed ;D).

Had to sharpen the chainsaw twice today, but that's another story.

Twas an awesome day.  I spent the morning working on some trails in the bush.  My brother showed up around two and we went tromping through the bush.  It was the first time he came out to see my little 100 acres (feeling real small since our discussion of that little spread in Auz).  We saw all kinds of very fresh deer tracks but because of our yappin and crunchin they stayed ahead of us.  Which is why we were really surprised to see a nice little flock of turkeys.  I've known there are lots of them in there but they are a pretty skittish bunch so I figrured I wouldn't see them till I did some nice quiet sittin (read rye&ginger   smiley_alcoholic_01 the Canadians will know of what I speak)

So after a glorious day out in the bush (any day in the bush is great) we went home to a grand meal the centre of which was a Dutch specialty we call rolada.  Which is beef and pork tenderloan layered up with pepper based spices liberally rubbed into each layer.  The mass is tightly tied.  Slow cooked or rotisier roasted.  It then gets cooled and sliced very thinly and reheated when served. smiley_chef_hat ummmm!!

Oh, man.  Rye whyskey and good food. 

Note to self: go visit the Canadian relatives more often.  eh?

Just when I thought I had seen every variation of left-over turkey known to man my good wife surprised me, again.  :D

Between visiting and such we had 3 full on spreads of turkey, including an 22 pounder at our house. Even with a house full of hungry relatives eating free food there's plenty enough leftovers for us two.

When I got home last night the unmistakable aroma of sweet curry met me at the door. My wife is South African and makes a mean curry at the best of times.

Last night she made turkey curry, man was it good.  smiley_clapping

Of course a couple of Crown Royal & ginger ales before, during & after didn't hurt any either.  8)

God I love that woman!

I've only found a few occasions over the years where a Crown & Ginger wasn't a good idea.  ::)

But I promised the Pastor I wouldn't bring one with me to the service anymore, so the list got cut in half.   :D
