Thanksgiving

The cook in action

Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated the second Monday in October (American Thanksgiving is in November). This year we had two Thanksgiving dinners, at home on Sunday and then at Pat and Terry's on Monday. Nick cooked the whole dinner and I made pumpkin pie. The whole dinner is very traditional and is more or less identical to  Christmas dinner. 

Famous cornbread stuffing
 This year Nick roasted the turkey, made corn bread and then used it to make a wonderful corn bread stuffing. He roasted squash, made cranberry sauce and only lost his temper right at the end of the marathon cooking session, when the gravy refused to thicken. Nevertheless it was a delicious meal. Thanks Nicolas....now please do it again for Christmas! 
Tah dah!
