Marshmallow yams, what? I must be doing Thanksgiving wrong because I never heard of that!
I know we already talked about HIMYM but Robin makes me love Canada! And you and the fact that an Ai Wei Wei exhibit is in your hood!
End scene.
I think you should come visit! Just sayin’
It’s a pity that we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Spain, because I’d definitely love me some marshmallow yams and turkey! These bites look amazing, though, and I’m surely going to try them 🙂
Not American or Canadian but I’ll take any excuse to eat excessive amounts of turkey & sweet potato..and pie ;)! Although I think you need to take advantage of your dual nationality and milk both Thanksgivings!!
Whoa! I never knew that Canadian Thanksgiving was in October. Hm… I have some questions about this. What do you do for Turkey Trots? Is that a thing in Canada? Why no sweet potatoes (although I could leave the marshmallows out)? What about pumpkin pie? Stuffing? No football? What kind of Thanksgiving is this!? And how do you do black Friday shopping?
Okay I actually only really wonder about the Turkey Trots. The rest of that is a joke. While the food and festivities are fun, it’s the thoughtfulness/idea of the day that matters the most to me. No… stuffing matters to me too, but whatever.
I can’t say I disagree – we really don’t know what the hell we’re doing when it comes to Thanksgiving. In fact, mine is actually being delayed a week, so my family REALLY doesn’t know how to do it. Le sigh. Annnd I’ll be jealous of you in Trader Joe’s this weekend!
THESE LOOK GLORIOUS.
Sounds like a confusing time. I suppose if you are going to celebrate something, you should do it right! I have celebrated thanksgiving once when I was living in US. It was a feast and loved it!
Bahaha I love your rant! Growing up close to the border, I have all sorts of love for Canada (actually, I think I would love living there, only the cold keeps me away!), but we definitely rock a mean Thanksgiving down here. The apple pie bites look to die for. I wish I could have apples! Grumble.
Funny post. I am American only so there is no question in my mind about Thanksgiving. It is on the 4th Thursday of November every year from now until eternity. We spend all day cooking to stuff our faces during one meal. Good times.
Cute post! And these look amazing. I celebrate Thanksgiving at the end of November. While I’m more a fan of the sides and desserts of Thanksgiving, I really just like the holiday because it gets family together (most times who I only see once or twice a year for such occasions). My day puts on a great feast and I know it brings him much happiness to see his family enjoy it. Have a great day! 🙂
