My daughter-in-law, who is still learning Canadian customs, prepared a wonderful feast for us on Monday. There was roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, corn on the cob, red cabbage, and homemade bread rolls. We brought the dessert (from a supermarket), a choice of pecan pie or pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
We would prefer to celebrate on Sunday, but we were travelling that day. My son was glad that he'd invited us for Monday instead of Sunday because the electrical power went off Sunday from 11:30 am until about 5:30 pm. Those who planned to cook a turkey on Sunday did so with great difficulty. Barbecued turkey anyone?
