This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada. As usual we are planning a FEAST!
One of the nice things about living in a new part of the world is finding new foods to try. One of the challenges of living in a new part of the world is trying to find replacements for things that would traditionally find a home on your holiday table. I guess it is a blessing and a curse.
We’re making the best of it and choosing to try new things versus recreating the old.
Here is the menu at this point:
| Cheese appetizer Mushroom soup with sherry and thyme Roast turkey breast Cornbread dressing with leeks, cranberries, and sausage Gravy Cranberry sauce with orange and rosemary Butternut squash casserole Mashed potatoes with sage and white cheddar Green beans with Madeira mushrooms Rolls and butter Pumpkin tart |
We’ve invited a friend of ours over for dinner. Clearly we’ll have WAY too much food for the three of us . . . good thing we like leftovers.
