Thanksgiving Revisited

I'm been meaning to write this post for about two weeks now, but have had little energy to blog.
On the Saturday following Thanksgiving, I headed to the butchers in order to pick up our T-day bird. I had opted for a turkey breast as the butcher could stuff it, and we'd have less waste. Having never cooked a turkey, I decided to be brave (or was that stupid) and invite 17 people for tea. People here have been so kind to us, and so I wanted to say thanks (we have tons to be thankful for and more so this year!) by making Turkey day for them. I carried home the turkey like a baby (imagine a 14 lb turkey breast!). In addition to the turkey, we had stuffing, cranberry sauce (made by Ocean Spray, just like at home!), mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, new potatoes, corn, stuffed eggs, broccoli bake etc. Pudding was pumpkin pie (thanks Fiona!), aple crumble (thanks Katherine!) and Key lime cheesecake. Joan (thanks joan!) also came with a winter berry cheesecake. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food, and we had a nice night of craic, food and wine. My wonderful neighbours stayed to help clean up (and finish up the wine!). For those wondering, craic has nothing to do with drugs but is an Irish word meaning a good time!
God has given us a lot to be thankful for!
