Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all in Canada! A little late perhaps, but our internet connection at our apartment has been down for a few days.

We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving on Saturday since we did not get Monday off of work of course. I made a big dinner.... cooked a chicken (they do not have turkey over here), I stuffed the chicken with Mom's stuffing recipe... and it was really good, although the stuffing was purple because of the type of bread that we had, it still tasted the same though. We also had sweet bread rolls and various vegetable dishes. I was also able to make some pies. They do not have canned pie filling here, since no one makes pies, so I made pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin for the first time and it worked out well... it tasted like pumpkin pie, so I guess that's a good sign. We also had apple pie... and all of this was made possible by the little oven we recently purchased.

It was fun to have our own little Thanksgiving dinner, but we really missed all of our family being around to eat with and to talk and celebrate with. We hope you all had pleasant Thanksgivings.

Well, as I am at school, and have to teach a class soon, I will make this the last bit of talking I guess.

We miss you all, but are doing well otherwise.
