Thanksgiving long weekend

Last weekend was a long one in Canada thanks to Canadian Thanksgiving [no pun intended] heehee

I'd like to say it was relaxing but mostly it was busy, busy though definitely fulfilling :)

I spent Friday night making the pie shells for my pumpkin & apple pies - 2 of each for 2 Thanksgiving dinners. Then I made myself a poutine as a reward. Fries, cheese, bacon & gravy - I can't possibly think of anything more delicious than that.


Saturday morning I spent making my pie fillings for easy pie-baking on Sunday and Monday. Talk about efficient over here!

Lunch on Saturday was served by Five Guys - I think we all know how amazing that is...
That was followed up with shopping where picked up these puppies for a total of $70! If you live in Canada, and especially Toronto, you know that's a steal!


That night we saw Looper - so amazing, I definitely recommend you all see it! Seriously, it's probably the best movie I have seen all year and here is a preview to convince you.

Sunday was the first Thanksgiving dinner resulting in this pie aftermath:

Monday I baked my last two pies which looked like this pre-baking:


And then the apple pie dish cracked so you won't be getting the sorry-ass post-baking picture because it does it no justice lol Still delicious though and enjoyed by everyone at the second Thanksgiving!

But I definitely needed another day to recuperate from all the baking, running around and eating...Oh well, maybe next weekend!

Whether Canadian or American, what is your favourite part of Thanksgiving?

Happy Thanksgiving, Canucks!

Rach @ How Fickle Is Woman had a great apple pie recipe last month, & what better time to try it out than for Thanksgiving?! :)

Well it turned out GREAT, so thanks Rach :)
Awesome apple decor courtesy of my talented sister!
The thing i like about Thanksgiving is that it's still largely about the food and the getting together. Unlike Christmas. Don't get me wrong - i love Christmas. But it's all about the gifts and the shopping and money-spending and all that crap.

At least on Thanksgiving we focus more on the fam. And the turkey. And the stuffing. And the PIE! :)
