my turkey is bigger than your turkey

so apparently it's autumn ('fall') in some foreign lands, lands where they celebrate 'thanksgiving', a holiday apparently to do with being jealous of another nation's holiday and staging their own identical one a month early

being an alien from this bizarre world, 'canada', my loved one has bestowed us with wondrous foods of strange proportions in thanksgiving's honour. it's not fall here, oh no, it's a sweaty spring day in Australia, and yet the ovens have been roasting all sorts of mashes, the stove tops have been simmering gravy and the pumpkin pie has been staying warm under the clothes dryer. most importantly, this baby has been basting in its own delicious juices:

well, at least it was, until we ate it. a day early even for this future-world, but when else but a sunday afternoon are you going to rustle up enough people to get drunk and fill their gullets with out-of-season poultry?

so who's having a big one for canadian thanksgiving? i miss canada a lot and to end this post on as naff a note as possible, i'm thankful that i've actually had a chance to appreciate its culture, from the hockey to the poutine to the sunsets on kits beach

eat up everyone

    canadian thanksgiving is monday

    we ate lots of good food in celebration. so much stuff that when i got the the end of my plate i couldn't decide what to top up on

    the sweet potato mash with crunchy pecan topping? turnip and carrot mash? peas, potatoes and gravy? turkey, delicious turkey, with stuffing and cranberry sauce? even the bloody brussel sprouts were good

    I'll try to make an extended stopover in Sydney before the PAX megatrip next year to have a beer with you.
    but I don't think I'll make it down there any sooner than that.

    well, i'd probably drink myself under the table in doing so, but i can assure you that there'd be nobody above table level anywhere the night we get to have a few schooners together

    ...

    wait did that... i didn't mean, not that we'd be completely horizontal, you know, i don't mean to imply... aww man

    Free Range Turkey is far better than store regular store turkey.

    Of course it is 50 bucks a pound, but you are paying for delicious flavor.

    It is pretty tasty to shoot a wild turkey and cook up some turkey tenders.

    I mean, it's not like you're going to be eatin the legs on a wild turkey since they're incredibly tough, but man, some tenders are tasty and then you can throw that in the pile with the rest of the store bought shit.

    And following that, you can wash it down with some Wild Turkey 101.

    I woke up yesterday and was all "it's a thanksgiving kind of day today..."

    So we ended up having some tofu-turkey roast thing, mashed potatoes and veggie gravy. Oh holy fuck, that was some damn good food. I mean, I was expecting shit, but I got delicious instead!

    I was unaware that I had inadvertently aided the Canuck's in their deceit and treacherously stolen holiday.
