Canadian Thanksgiving/housewarming party, October 14, 2013

Canadian Thanksgiving dishes are very similar to American ones, but to play along with the stereotype, some have Canadian (maple!) twists:

Maple roast turkey and gravy with stuffing

((I have been meaning to post this but IRL tends to get in the way of all my best laid plans. Jackie would have been a lot more prompt when it comes to her planning and invitation sending than I am, but nothing can stop celebrating 50! More details coming shortly. The event will be vapored.))

Ben's present from Katt consisted of a birthday giftcard of sorts. An all paid for dinner at the Gator's Tail Bar & Grille. There is no limit to the amount of guests brought or the entire dining experience. It is all on Katt's dime! Enjoy!
