Any other Canadians here celebrating Thanksgiving today?
Post your location, menu and how you plan to spend your day!

Vancouver, rainy 9c
Just finished breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes, maple syrup, strawberries, orange juice, coffee

Dinner: roasted duck, baked salmon, prawns, roasted acorn squash, roasted carrots, scalloped potatoes, cranberry apple dressing, gravy

Dessert: brownies with ice cream and an apple pie if I can manage to get one made 🤞

Friend popping by to join us for dinner.
Will be tidying up and getting laundry done in between prepping/cooking. Have got kids parked in front of tv watching a movie.

@Mumtobabyhavoc

Yes, I'm in the UK but my heart is in Canada.

Victoria BC here, we had turkey, stuffing, carrots, peas, roasted parsnips, mashed Swede, mashed potatoes and gravy. Followed by pumpkin 🥧 pie. Lots of BC wine was drunk with our friends

@Mumtobabyhavoc yep! Bread, rolls, starting to brew sourdough… cheaper and healthier than store bought.

I have kids to do the kneading these days, or a mixer with a dough hook, but if you can do the kneading, it’s a fantastic stress relief, pummeling dough 🤣

@ChubbyMorticia I really missed the boat during lockdown when everyone was learning to make sourdough. Instead, I was making jelly donuts. 😁🙄
But, sourdough making is still on my list of things to learn. The instructions are just SO confusing. 😵‍💫
