it's canada's thanksgiving day!
happy turkeyday to all canadians!
while i skipped the big dinner this year i guess i have lots to be thankful for.
i have a hell of a group of friends here that have rallied round and keep checking in on me.
and i have an international group of cyber friends that have done the same, breaking the barrier and who have entered into my life.
and then there is g'man...who i believe in another life was a private investigator... 
i am blessed.

This is very affirming stuff. I wish I could store it up in a bottle to save for darker days.
Time you wrote some more poetry, Joe.

We celebrate Thanksgiving much earlier here in Canada because there is so much more to be thankful for. :>

Yep, our Columbus day. The local schools have not honored the holiday though. Fearful of needing snow days later perhaps.

Also, with our winters, we don't feel that thankful anymore by December.

Happy Thanksgiving Day folks! Not sure what I'll be cooking for everone next month at my family's turkeyday, it ends up being a busman's holiday for me: I take the Wednesday before off and spend the night at my Dad's so I can cook for the mob that shows up on Thursday--usually 18 or 20 of us. Lots of good mostly healthy food and then after dinner we sit and have coffe and Green Chartreuse.
It's always a fairly international group: before my stepmom retired, she would invite several of the overseas students to come share the holiday with us. Now that she's retired there not so many new faces at the table but still a very worldly group.

there is green chartreuse and also a yelllow chartreuse (go figure) still it is a little like the Italian liqueur Millefiorit or Benedictine , all made with extracts from plants/herbs/flowers. After the first one, the second goes down more easily.

Monks from mountains in France from what I've learned over the years. And only two of them know the secret recipe at any time. The monastery orders lots of ingredients that are NOT part of the formula so that no sneaky people can look through the trash and reverse engineer the elixir.
The stuff used to be 180 proof(90% alcohol) but, at least what's imported to the US, it's now abit less--120 or 130 proof IIRC[and there's no gaurantee of that as we only have it on Thanksgiving and while we aren't pounding shots--just sipping from some teeny little glasses--things are abit fuzzy by bed time].
Three more things about this lovely drink:
1)-The color Chartreuse is apparently named after the liquor
2)- I must slightly disagree with Jan: the first glass is something of a test, if you have a second then you have passed the test, and the third and later are simply a glow.
3)- As the oldest son, I get most of dad's share these days--he only has one since his heart attack.
One of our thanksgiving guests some years ago had been to France and had toured the monastery and town where this is made--she's my source for the above info.

I have always wondered--how many Canadian turkeys does it take to make one U.S. turkey?
Sorry, I just could not resist.

Rob: I had the "real", green stuff available only in France, brought back by a dear friend when she returned from graduate studies in France. Warmed me then, the memory warms me now.
Kevin: Canada is currently working on population growth to get to that level.
