Thanksgiving Turkey Made in Canada

Here he is folks....Thomas R. Turkey....the guest of honour at today's feast. poor think was missing half a wing so had to foil that.  Lest I offend anyone with the name I have always called my turkey Thomas and R. for my initial!  So dressed, trussed, seasoned and in the oven.  Half hour later than hoped as I neglected to put a catch try under the apple pie and had to clean oven first.

We'll start with homemade butternut squash soup served with a dollop of yogurt and maple syrup....the real stuff!  And on to turkey, dressing, potatoes, baked squash, green beans and carrots mixed with butter, lemon and a dash of brandy; and not to forget broccoli au gratin!  Plus rolls, beets, reslishes, pickles.  Oh, yes, cranberry sauce and cabbage rolls.  Think that should weight them down for a day or two!

I do my thanksgiving dinner on Saturday as my children have in-laws and their father's to attend as well....so they will be doing the 'turkey trot' for two more days.

We will be taking dessert away to my son-in-laws sisters as she is having a dinner today also .... so time for the turkey to settle before the pies, cakes and creams.

Tomorrow I am going to sleep all day and eat nothing!

Yesterday Jerry was wondering if 'anything' was made in USA or Canada anymore.  I do know Thomas is Canadian - he came from a farm near by, but I cannot attest to his feed, I hope it was Canadian.  I have some thoughts on imported goods to our country; perhaps tomorrow.
