Canadian Thanksgiving is around the corner and caught me off guarded for two reasons. First that I’m taking an online course which I thought is going to be very casual but ended up being very serious with lots of deadlines and assignments, it’s college long distance course what was I thinking, so I’m busy catching up with my assignments. The second and wonderful reason is that we are blessed with wonderful weather this fall, weather wise we are nowhere close to Thanksgiving.
Canadian Thanksgiving has a special meaning for me, we (Zoroastrians) have an ancient harvest festival, called Mehregan that falls on Oct 2nd, in old times they would celebrate it for seven days. The last day of celebrations will fall on Canadian Thanksgiving, most of the times, as the thanksgiving is second weekend of October and variable on date. The basic concept is almost the same, same type of food, they usually roasted lamb instead of turkey, but the rest is almost the same. Every year I get to celebrate both Mehregan and Thanksgiving at the same time with family and friends.
This Thanksgiving we will have about twelve adults and five kids for Sunday lunch. If I wasn’t caught off guard I would have invited my guests around the end of September and decided on my menu and decoration a while ago. This year I invited them couple of days ago, and I’m still working on the menu and recipes. I was working on decoration ideas at bed time last night which I have to try and picture it again 
. The only thing that is done is my turkey that is bought and in fridge ready to roast.
Goof thing about having American Thanksgiving in November is that I get to post all my decoration and Thanksgiving recipes with pictures, in time for then.
Until later,
