Canadian Thanksgiving

Well, we hit it good for Thanksgiving. Knowing our passion for food as you all do, think of three turkey dinners in a row!!! We loved it!

Thanksgiving Dinner #1. Starting on the Friday Oct 6th, we cruised up to Keswick,Ontario, to Colin and Shona's place. It was time to get together with the best friends from High School. We each brought our significant others and some kids, and a dish to add to the feast. It was great to spend the day and evening together because it is very seldom that we all get together in a group like this. The turkey was great too, succulent and juicy.

Thanksgiving Dinner #2. We borrowed a car from Mark and made our way up to Midhurst (near Barrie) also in Ontario, to visit Michelle's cousin Anna, her husband Andrew and kids Seb and Dom. Michelle's Auntie Alda and Uncle Umberto were visiting from Portugal too which made the visit even better. She hadn't seen them in about 10 years. We were also joined by their friends from when they lived up in Yellowknife. Once again, the turkey dinner was fabulous and the hospitality was great.

Thanksgiving Dinner #3. Back at my sister's place, we enjoyed some of my Mum's cooking. As usual, it was fantastic, although we all chipped in a bit. A beautiful Fall day was spent outside in the garden with the kids, a good meal and some fun games in the evening.
We were available for a turkey on the actual Thanksgiving Monday, but no offers came in. We did manage to have turkey soup for lunch though. I think the turkey hangover lasted the rest of the week, but it was great while it lasted. Roll on Christmas - we're ready for the next turkey! *Stub
