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.

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. 😵‍💫
