@suzianne saidI see you having to lay down your bike, you're fine, the bike not so much. You get your phone and call your friends
Pick up trucks are strike one.
And I'm just 5'3" (or 160cm for those people).
About 10 minutes later a Mini Cooper pulls up, and 20 tiny people pile out, load up your bike tying it to the roof, then you all climb in and take off back to Munchkin Land.
@gambrel saidOk, I see how it is.

@suzianne saidThis is what I thought he was talking about. I never could understand why you guys had a turkey on November 25th and then again on December 25th. Ours is in October which gives us about 2 months inbetween

Thanksgiving 2021 in United States

@very-rusty saidThanksgiving dinner is usually a big extended family affair, so a big turkey is the norm. Christmas is often only close family because it is almost an afterthought as there are often parties and such Christmas night. Often families opt for a modest ham for Christmas dinner because of that.

I understand the Christmas goose is sort of a big deal in England and I suppose that popularity in Canada could follow.

@suzianne saidActually a lot of people will have their turkey on on Thanksgiving as is traditional.

At Christmas Meals can vary from Ham, Lobster, some still do get the tradition meal of Turkey.
I can foresee smaller numbers gathering again this year at homes, as we have pockets of break out of the virus, mainly due to travel from what I understand. Much better than last year though where I believe everything was pretty much locked down.

@very-rusty saidYou can make them from scratch, but we buy Bruce's Candied Yams in a can, dump a can into a small casserole dish, cover with marshmallows and bake until hot and marshmallows melt and brown. You can also use them out of the can, warmed up with vanilla ice cream for a dessert. To me they taste similar to pumpkin pie filling aka pumpkin pudding.
Sounds Delicious! I don't believe I've ever had the candied yams though?

@gambrel saidThe better half wants to try it out said it sounded yummy. She wants to go with the marshmallows. Hell I am going to gain about 5-10 lbs. over Christmas for sure! 🙂 I just know she will want to try it the other way too! 🙂
