OH CANADA!

So this weekend we had the honor of participating in the infamous Canadian Thanksgiving with some girls in our ward and other couples. Not only did we participate we were asked to make the turkey! So Phil and I were kinda freaking out since we had so much pressure weighing in on us. I didn't want to be the American who ruined Canadian Thanksgiving. We worked as a team and got all the gizzerds out and Phil buttered it right up while I made aka added water to the stuffing. I was checking it like every hour and it was nerve racking because we didn't even have a thermometer to see if it was officially done. But 5 hours later we packed our turkey up and met our friends at their apartment. It was so funny, there was Canadian flags everywhere and everyone was wearing red and white. We all sat and said what we were thankful for. (I said I was thankful for Phil and Phil said he was thankful for college football but me first) It was so good with homemade rolls and pumpkin squares. The turkey turned out fabulous and everyone loved it! It was fun learning and cooking the turkey for the first time and it was great getting 2 Thanksgiving this year!

so are you going to be in charge of the American Thanksgiving turkey? I am sure Ben would have to agree that he is most thankful for College Football too.
