Thanksgiving is on Monday! That means Rob and I schlepping over to my parents’ (admittedly, now that they live in the same town as us, it’s less of a schlep – 15 minutes as opposed to 35) and having turkey with a dozen other people. 4 in my brother’s family, 5 in my sister’s (plus possibly whatever one of my sister’s kids’ friends who is staying at her house because they’ve been kicked out of their own place – I won’t comment on this), and my parents.
I will be bringing the rolls and the carrots and beets. We have tons of carrots and beets in our garden, so I’m going to pull them out and roast them up (my mom just boils the heck and nutrients out of any and all vegetables which wouldn’t be very delicious at the new house, because they have chlorinated City Water and no water filters) with some olive oil and pepper and hope that works out for people. As for the rolls, I think I’ll use this recipe, probably doubled.
Next week is going to be an interesting week, workwise. Monday, Thanksgiving, so no work. Tuesday and Wednesday, work as usual. Then Thursday and Friday are convention days. I’m really looking to the convention – one of my students is speaking on what it’s like to be in school when you are (high-functioning) autistic, and I look forward to seeing his presentation.
So. To my fellow Canadians, I say Happy Thanksgiving Long Weekend! I am thankful for plenty of things, and my readers are one of them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I wish it was Thanksgiving here, I would LOVE some turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
