I hope everyone has had a wonderful day.
Today our family celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is the holiday off work, but we generally have our big celebration on the Sunday evening.
I hosted Main Man's mom, his brother and sister-in-law, their two sons, and our sister-in-law's mom. It wasn't really a houseful, but it was as big a houseful as we're accustomed to.
I served turkey (of course!), stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams with orange juice, tarragon carrots, a corn dish I make with sweet peppers, maple squash, home-baked bread and corn muffins, and spring salad mix with red and green onions and peppers and a raspberry vinaigrette. My sister-in-law and her mom brought dessert - pumpkin pie and cherry tarts. The whole meal was a roaring success. We have leftovers galore, so it looks like my diet is not going to start again for at least a few more days.
Much of the clean-up is now finished, although I must admit that I'm hitting the hay with still a few dirty wine glasses on the counter beside the sink and a couple of stubborn pots and pans soaking in the sink.
Main Man and I worked as quite the team today. We really do have massive amounts of abundance to be thankful for.

oh man now I am hungry. That sounds goood. Hope you are enjoying your day off. Thanksgiving here is just 6 weeks away. Stuffing and bean casserole here I come
Katy - I really wanted to make green bean casserole, but it was vetoed by my boys because they don't care for mushrooms.
I will enjoy my day off, but much of it will have to be spent doing school work. I feel so behind!
As much as I love our Thanksgiving, I've always secretly wished to celebrate American Thanksgiving. It all just seems so much more festive, being the kick-off to the Christmas season and all. And your four-day weekend seems to fall right when I could really use it!
Just wanna say "Happy belated Birthday". It is a bit late, but better than never.
Ahhhh, thanks X.
Hope all is well with you these days.
Any chance of you heading out this way anytime soon?
