Ayer/hoy es la fiesta de el principio del otoño en el sentido de la última cosecha, del cambio de clima en Canadá.
Cociné para 9, me doy cuenta que todo lo que tengo en la cocina es para cocinar para menos personas.
La cena: puré de papas/patatas, relleno para el pavo (que nunca en realidad se cocina ni se sirve adentro del pavo, del guajolote, ayer alguien mencionó "se me olvida que el pavo es un animal originario de norteamérica)...

Is Canadian Thanksgiving different from American Thanksgiving? Both holidays include turkey — but not much else is the same
For the most part, Canada and the United States share many cultural similarities. Much of our media (TV,…

As #CanadianThanksgiving approaches, I am deeply grateful for the trust you place here on mastodon and for the community we share here.
May gratitude take root in your homes and communities. More importantly, may we carry it into the world through acts of kindness, generosity, and care for those who need them most.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

I don't use my #VerticalSmoker often. A couple of highlights were #BBQ #SmokedPork for #LabourDay and this #CanadianThanksgiving Monday, BBQ #SmokedBeef Eye of Round.
For #Halloween, I was considering getting a bonfire going and throw some Fascists on the fire. But that is against the law, no burning rubbish. #ElbowUp

Turkey roasting in the oven with harvest stuffing (moist stuffing with carrots, mushroom, leek, celery, apple, craisins), roasted candied yams, baby carrots fresh harvested from the garden with a hint of curry and fresh parsley, mashed potato, gravy, green beans, and (of course) homemade apple *and* pumpkin pie for dessert.
The house smells wonderful, and I’m hungry! Happy Thanksgiving!
(Happy leftovers day to everyone who feasted yesterday!)
The Ottawa Otters are not ahead.
Today is #CanadianThanksgiving ... if it was me I'd rename it to "harvest festival"... I can clearly understand the want, the need to celebrate the last harvest of the year before the winter... Because Mexico "doesn't have seasons" there's no equivalent in my original culture.. As a consumer of "Hollywood media" i knew more about the UnitedStatian Thanksgiving where the tale of the indigenous and the invaders shared a meal... anyhow.. I cooked for 10 yesterday.. here are some shots, at the end I don't have photos of the served plates because I was finishing cooking and serving.. but here some of the preparation...
Mashed potatoes, green beans with almonds and capers... roasted carrots with a hint of honey.. and turkey stuffing, croutons with veggies and cranberries.. (1/2)
Nell says "happy hoser Thanksgiving" by head-slamming the camera and leaving.
🍁 On this Canadian Thanksgiving, as we celebrate the harvest and reflect on what we’re grateful for, I want to say how thankful I am for you.
To everyone who’s read my books, watched Echoes of a Hermit, or shared a post along the way—your quiet support means more than you know.
Thank you for helping these stories find their way into the world. 🙏

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
I am thankful for family and that most of us can gather today.
I am thankful that we all have a roof over our heads and good food to eat.
I am thankful for Canada.
Happy Thanksgiving from Jasper National Park.
Got a ham cooked, and just need to do a little glazing while the Brussels sprouts come together.
The scalloped potatoes are just out, and will be dangerously hot for about six weeks.
A pumpkin-spice disk has been baked for dessert – old folks will better know that as a "pumpkin pie."
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone – or as we call it in Canada "Thanksgiving."
It’s #CanadianThanksgiving this weekend! We are having a smol celebration today. Everyone gets pies! We are very grateful for many things, including all our Mastodon friends.

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!!!!! #CanadianThanksgiving #thanksgiving
Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving earlier because winter won't wait.
Early settlers faced a hard truth:
Harvest had to finish before the 1st snow. Not optional. Survival.
By October, the work was done. Time to gather & give thanks before the deep freeze.
Why we celebrate differently:
- Geography decides everything
- Harvest completed before winter comes
- Gratitude rooted in necessity, not tradition
- Early settlers understood timing is survival
Americans celebrate in November:
- Founded on Pilgrims' 1621 gathering
- Tradition stuck even though the timing doesn't match reality
- Different land, different seasons, different stories
But here's what stays the same:
- Pausing to acknowledge what kept you alive through the year
- People who showed up
- Work that paid off
- Grief that taught you
- Loss that made space for what's next
- Connection that kept you alive
This weekend I'm sitting with all of it: The survival. The community. The time that helped me heal.
Today I have cooked:
1. Turkey breast
2. Matbucha
3. Cranberry Sauce
4. Bread Cubes
5. Turkey Broth
Tomorrow I'll make:
- Stuffing
- Mac and Cheese
Then Monday
- Brussels Sprouts
- Asparagus
- A Whole Turkey
(I already have the mashed potato in the fridge)
An American friend recommended that this would be a good approach- make Thanksgiving Dinner on Canadian Thanksgiving (Monday) and then defrost for American Thanksgiving.
We're cooking up a storm this afternoon.
Baked bread and buns, and K made scalloped potatoes while I put a cottage-roll ham on to cook.
I then made pastry while she made the pumpkin pie filling, from previously roasted pumpkin we'd froze. In there somewhere I tossed cauliflower with spices, lemon and oil to roast soon.
I overshot with the pastry a bit and so am making a couple of pie shells for the freezer too. Future quiche opportunities!
Happy #Thanksgiving to all!

It's #CanadianThanksgiving & a good time to consider the colonialism & globalization lying behind the holiday & its traditional food, the turkey. Our video "Why do we eat Turkey at Thanksgiving?" is an etymological exploration of these issues https://youtube.com/watch?v=He-wNRtBuRM

Canadians will be celebrating their Thanksgiving this weekend. Here, @thecollector explains the holiday's origin, traditions and more. Click the second link to discover what satirical site The Beaverton says is the most popular side in your province (we're "Some bullsh** from their home garden").

Oktoberfest began as a party to celebrate the marriage of Bavarian royalty in Munich in 1810. The marriage occurred on October 12 but the partying continued for the next few days. The participants had so much fun that they decided to do it again the next year, then the next year, etc.
Eventually the participants and organizers lost enough brain cells that they thought, “ You know what would make Oktoberfest even better? If it was in September so we had even better weather!” So it was moved to mid September to the first Sunday in October.
That’s how Munich’s Oktoberfest went, anyhow.
Kitchener- Waterloo’s Oktoberfest in Canada was made to wrap around Canadian thanksgiving. The second Monday in October (Canadian Thanksgiving) was the center of the two weekends and one week of partying. This K-W Oktoberfest went as 9 days of partying for many years.
But too much beer drinking eventually led to two factions developing. One faction said let’s keep up the original Canadian Oktoberfest. While another said, let’s imitate the Munich Oktoberfest better and have a Septemberfest, too!
The Septemberfest makes more sense, some say. The weather is nicer. Did I mention dead brain cells from drinking too much beer? So that faction still calls it Oktoberfest.
The main takeaway from this is that K-W Oktoberfest now runs longer than the Munich one. With four weekends, because both factions are still present in K-W, it’s a longer festival than the busier Munich one.
I think there should be truth in advertising and both large Oktoberfests should be called Septemberfest-Oktoberfest.
*
Speaking of names, in Southern Ontario, this year, we had a proper Summer Echo. Early fall contained a week or more of summer like temperatures. I’m a stickler for Summer Echoes. I believe we must be officially out of summer for the term to be applied properly.
Summer Echo used to be called Indian Summer. To not offend the sub continent of India, which has nothing to do with our weather in the great lakes region, we could call it Indigenous Summer. But then we might be offending the indigenous of this same great lake region. So with me, anyhow, Summer Echo has stuck.
