View Full Version : Happy Thanksgiving Day Colleen 10-10-2005, 07:05 PM Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving and don't eat too much turkeyIt would be interesting to see you out there celebrates Thanksgiving. Courtney 10-10-2005, 07:09 PM Happy Thanksgiving! In the US, Thanksgiving is on November 24th. I will be in Minneapolis (in the freezing cold -- running a 5k on Thanksgiving morning actually) :D Olly 10-10-2005, 08:01 PM Happy Thanksgiving! I don't think it exists anywhere else than in North America :) Checkers 10-10-2005, 08:41 PM Happy thanksgiving :D What do you guys usually do for it? Besides eat turkey. Good luck on the run Courtney. Hope you dont end up an iceblock :) Ill give Lily some turkey for dinner to celebrate :p FlashyFan 10-10-2005, 09:11 PM Colleen, what is a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving day like? Similar to the US? The last Thursday in November (US Thanksgiving) in our family includes: turkey, stuffing, bread rolls with butter, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes and for desert pumpkin pie. (We have some other family favorites like cranberry salad, green beans with almonds, some kind of salad with dried fruits & nuts) Preparation of the food lasts all day (with some things done the day before). The young kids play games and run around in yard while the overly full adults talk and sometimes watch a football game. Can't wait :) It's all about the bountiful FOOD and being thankful for the opportunity to be together as a family. P.S. Courtney, you deserve to eat whatever you desire that day since you're running the 5K. No guilt for you :) Checkers 10-10-2005, 09:22 PM Yum sounds just like christmas day here, but with either chicken, lamb or ham instead :) Ive always thought pumpkin pie is a little wierd tho. Is it sweet or savoury? Like does it taste like normal pumpkin, or is it loaded with sugar? :) JanR 10-10-2005, 09:32 PM Thanksgiving here is much like it is in the U.S. Turkey with all the fixings and Pumpkin Pie for desert. Pumpkin pie is definitely sweet, with spices like ginger, cinnimon, nutmeg, eggs, milk and brown sugar. It's really good. Checkers 10-10-2005, 09:52 PM Lol does it still end up tasting like pumpkin after all of those spices? :) JanR 10-11-2005, 12:57 AM Lol does it still end up tasting like pumpkin after all of those spices? :) Maybe a little bit. You can make very similar pies with squashes and sweet potatoes. It really is good. You should try it. :) Courtney 10-11-2005, 02:27 AM Pumpkin pie is great :) I hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Any leftovers?? :) JanR 10-11-2005, 02:48 AM Lots of turkey. :) No more pumpkin pie :( Douma 10-11-2005, 03:40 AM I wish a happy Thanksgiving day to everyone!:) Douma 10-11-2005, 03:43 AM Pumpkin pie is definitely sweet, with spices like ginger, cinnimon, nutmeg, eggs, milk and brown sugar. It's really good. I like pumpkin pie,we cook the same recipe,adding walnuts :) Colleen 10-12-2005, 01:53 AM Lisa the only difference between our Thanksgiving and yours is the Months!! FlashyFan 10-12-2005, 05:50 AM I see that, Colleen. Same yummy foods... you just get to enjoy them earlier in the year than we do. Actually, I think I might prefer Thanksgiving in October (not so close to Christmas). Hope you had a really good one :) Courtney 10-12-2005, 06:17 PM Elyse, where have you been?!
