THANKSGIVING in CANADA comes EARLIER THAN IN THE USA

By
Industry Observer

Canada celebrates Thanksgiving the 2nd Monday of each October.  This year was particularly special for us and we had such a lot to give thanks for!

Emo's Eating Emporium was once again the gathering place and, even though we had 4 who couldn't make it, we had a very enjoyable meal and as per our norm, we were able to present a celebratory atmosphere:

 

Even the napkins were folded in "Turkey" style, lol

We served two different turkey dishes:  Red Wine Braised Turkey legs (drumstick & thighs) plus a

Bacon Weave Turkey Porchetta (dry brined and wrapped around Fennel & fresh Sage).

They both cooked to an incredible and flavourful moistness and were well received!

My favourite dish of the night was the Southwestern Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Cilantro - YUM YUM

There were also Squashed Red Potatoes with Garlic butter, Broccoli Salad, Barley Salad with Bacon, Maple Pecans & Apricot Vinaigrette and fresh hot rolls.  I wished I'd baked inside them, what my guests were thankful for - next year for sure!!

For dessert we enjoyed individual Lemon Cheesecake Pies with fresh blueberries -  light & refreshing after a heavy meal!
