Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend!

[Iron Woode]

Our Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October. While the weather is crappy here, I am going to have a nice Thanksgiving meal and do as little as possible.

Today I will be making another batch of cabbage roll casserole with some garlic bread.

Sunday or Monday I will cook a 4 lb pork cottage roll and some side veggies and garlic bread.

Take care everyone on this long weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving! We're having our dinner tomorrow, looking forward to it.

Crazy that it's already this time of year. Soon we'll have snow on the ground.

It's 4 pm now on Thanksgiving day and the 20-lb turkey is half done, I think. I'm about to check and start basting. Then it's time to prep potatoes for cooking and mashing. Stuffing's in the bird, jellied cranberry sauce in the fridge, buns on the counter. My wife has a sweet potato casserole ready to bake when the oven is freed up. That'll be when I take out the turkey, siphon out the roasting pan juices to make a big pot of gravy, then dig out the stuffing and prep the bird for carving. My son is allergic to poultry, so I'm prepping some thin sirloin steaks for him. To finish, my wife has a great apple pie she made yesterday, plus some individual-sized pumpkin cheesecakes. Very trad menu we all enjoy!

Broiled the top a bit much but it's a fat layer anyway

 

[Iron Woode]

my cottage roll turned out great.

I am so stuffed right now.

One ingrate is eating frozen fettuccine Alfredo and the other is waiting for me to cook frozen pizza

Happy Thanksgiving. Might order a burrito and beer.

As a Minnesotan, having a harvest festival in early to mid October makes a hell of a lot more sense than late November.

Yeah, it makes sense as this is the end of our growing season. Farmers are taking off their crops now until early November.

the best part of any holiday feast is left-overs!

Right on, Iron Woode! In our house the sequence is: turkey dinner, leftovers for several days, strip a bunch of meat off the carcass to make turkey pie, then boil the bones with small meat shreds to make turkey soup with egg noodles.

since I made a cottage roll, I will be using that broth to make a bean soup with chunks of leftover meat, carrots, celery and onions with a few spices.
