Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Canada originally started as a celebration of the successful harvest season, to be held on the second Monday of October.  My family, like most families, celebrates Thanksgiving by having an enormous family dinner of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and so on.  I personally see Thanksgiving as an excuse to get together with the family, and spend some quality time together over a fantastic dinner. 

The recipe for stuffing that my Grandmother uses has been passed down in the family, and now you can have it too! ;

You need to have 5 cups of mashed potatoes at the ready, cooked, then fry 8 strips of bacon.

Next, fry ¾ cups of Chopped Onion and ¾ cups of Chopped Celery together in the bacon grease.

Drain the Onions and Celery,  then chop the bacon.

Add this mixture into the mashed potatoes, add three eggs, and whip it all together.

Add three to four teaspoons of Poultry Spice, one cup of diced onions (raw), a teaspoon of pepper, and mix all together.

Next, simply stuff the stuffing into the turkey and cook.

Here is a picture of Pumpkin Pie and Coconut Cream pie before whipped cream, then a picture of them both with whipped cream, and Lemon Merangue pie.
