Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving! Happy Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends and family. Ted was born in Canada, and though he renounced his citizenship as a child when he became an American citizen, recent changes to Canadian law say that if he wants to be, he can be Canadian as well. Groovy, huh?
We celebrated last night with a typical Thanksgiving feast, including roast turkey and stuffing, candied yams, cranberry sauce, pie, and veggies. Yum. Give thanks, for whatever things you have to be thankful for. For us, right now, it’s family, friends, enough food to eat, a comfortable place to sleep. Interesting work, a good school for Maya, a country where we have such a good life. Health insurance and healthy bodies, books to read and movies to watch. We are fortunate in so very many ways. So today, we give thanks.

Having grown up in a hockey-loving state bordering our neighbors to the frozen north, I’m happy to chime in with Happy Canuck Thanksgiving!
I also want to thank you again for that great cherry tomato French brad au gratin recipe you had a while back. Mrs. O and I have now made it several times, and with the cherry tomatoes going gangbustesr in the backyard, we get lots of warm garlicky, parmesany, basily tomato mouth explosions lately.

I’m so used to Facebook now, I’m looking for the ‘like’ button. So glad that you enjoy the bread salad. It totally makes the meal. I could eat it without the chicken, though I suspect that the chicken is a good idea, health wise. You know, only if it’s organic, local, and sustainably farmed. I mean, we are in the bay area, right?
