Big Bird!
We ate and ate and ate this Thanksgiving long weekend, making this officially stretch pants week for many of us. I enjoyed two great family gatherings, meaning two times the turkey and two times the fun.
My first Thanksgiving feast was at my sister & brother-in-law's place.
Kim &
Don Papple once again outdid themselves serving an array of delicious food including a record sized turkey which they started preparing at 7am that morning.
In addition, thanks to the guests attending, we had four (count 'em FOUR) pies, ice cream, and a creative tray of cupcakes (shaped like a turkey). No room for a waffer thin mint after this bounty.
The following day (Thanksgiving Monday) it was off to Welland where
Rob's brother
Rodney Dennis and his wife
Heather had yet another mountain of dishes. Turkey, ham, veggies in cheese sauce and some kick-ass sweet potatoes, topped the bill. We had pie for dessert and I brought an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (shaped like a jack-o-lattern) which was a big hit amongst the young and young-at-heart.
Talk about a Gobble Gobble weekend....(burp).
