Pumpkin days

Canadians have their own Thanksgiving day this Monday, although no one has been able to explain exactly what they give thanks for. Most people seem to be thankful for the turkeys... so as it is our first Thanksgiving ever, I got myself ready for some traditional thanksgiving food for tomorrow.

On the right you can see a pumpkin - I got the smallest one I could find which weighed three kilos. I made some pumpkin puree and baked a pumpkin loaf - both firsts. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, pumpkin is not really the first thing I'd want to put into a cake - but the end result was an absolutely delicious loaf. For tomorrow I've got some sprouts, potatoes (for mash) and a small turkey roast... all very traditional.

And we're soon coming to and end of our first year in Canda. I can't believe it has been a year already... I'm looking back with mixed emotions and I want to write about it soon... just don't feel like writing about it right now.
