I’m so jealous.  This week all my American fellow bloggers have been posting about their impending turkey dinners and Black Friday shopping trips.  Gravy and mashed.  Pies and good buys.  And the cranberries . . . oh the cranberries!  How I’ve suffered through the endless delicious descriptions and recipes.

Don’t they realize that Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday?!  Don’t they know that I could and would eat a turkey dinner EVERY week if I was given the opportunity?!  Don’t they realize that up here in the Great White North we did it all over a month ago?!  A MONTH ago!  Where has the time gone?

So in their honour, I will recycle my Thanksgiving Day post because honestly, I don’t think anyone read it anyway.  It’ll be a “new-to-you” post.  Re-purposed if you will.  And perhaps I’ll even head over to the mall on my lunch hour in search of a good buy or two.

I only hope they will be as sympathetic to their dear old Canadian fellow blogger when our “Eat Some Beaver” Day rolls around on January 13th.

I’m kidding.  We don’t eat beaver.  We’re just like you.  We prefer moose . . .

Happy Thanksgiving to all you girls celebrating today – enjoy your friends and family and have a bite of turkey for me will ya?!

Turkey Day (originally posted October 12/09)

This weekend was Thanksgiving – in my neck of the woods.  And I LOVE Thanksgiving.  It’s definitely one of my favourite holidays.  Partially because there’s a big old turkey dinner involved.  My Mom’s traditional turkey dinner.  YUM-MA!  There’s really nothing better.  I could eat it every weekend.  But since I don’t, I save up my appetite for when I do.  And then I go over-board.  Really over-board.  In a big way.  Which is why I’m not posting anything today.  Because I can barely stick my arms out in front of my gluttonous belly to reach the keyboard.  So this is all you’re getting from me.  A sad post about what a turkey connoisseur I am.  I’m sorry.  I promise to do better once the tryptophan has worn off.
