For all you Canadians who are reading this blog, this last weekend was American thanksgiving. Ruth and I went to sample the miller teams ( http://www.themillerhood.blogspot.com/) turkey feast. It was delightful. Cooking kudos to Brenda for an amazing turkey in the event of a broken oven (scroll down their blog for the whole story) Ruth brought her amazing sunshine yams, that made me yam happy. So I'm going to answer some frequently asked questions by Canadians concerning USA thanksgiving as I did with the Canadian thanksgiving, just to be fair. ;)
Q- Why do they have thanksgiving so late?
A- It's kind of the kick off holiday to the money=love Christmas season! However the Christmas decorations were out way too early this year, someone did a kick-off behind our backs.
Q- Do they eat turkey?
A- Yes they do. However, since a farmer in chilliwack recently found a duck with a runny nose hanging around his chicken coupe, and the americans decided to pull a 'mad cow/sick bird' law into effect, it's likely that none of our turkey's were canadian birds this year.
Q- Can you really buy beer at the grocerey store?
A- Yup. Even on holidays.
We ate out on the deck because it was the only place with enough room for all ten of us. So Josh rented one of these outdoor industrial heaters. You could light a cigarette from the mouth it. It totally rocked!
