Canada BS thread

Thanks, living dreams out here now sir . We got lucky with covid interest rates under 2% to make it feasible.

 

Yummmy

 

If you need help reducing the deer population, I'm only a couple hours west.

 

Haha I’ll let ya know after I get my fill

 

Sounds good lol. I need to get my bow tuned up. Been a few years since I've used it.

 

I want to get a bow and start practicing. I’ve wanted one for ever, it’s just been at the end of the list. Now that I’m out of town, the bow priority has grown greatly haha.

 

They're a blast, even just for target shooting. I practice for close range grouse in my basement. I can get a 10 yard shot corner to corner.

 

That’s awesome

 

What's on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner this weekend?

Neither The Woman or I are big fans of turkey or really the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We like ham, but since it's just the two of us this year I'm not gonna bother with cooking one. So we're doing t-bone steaks, my homemade mac'n'cheese in the cast iron dutch oven, cornbread in the cast iron pan, german potato salad and of course homemade apple pie.

 

Nice ! We’re doing a spiral ham , mashed potatoes, corn , asparagus , sautéed mushrooms and home made apple pie .

 

Going to my parents' on Sunday and my wife's parents' on Monday. I'm thinking both dinners will be pretty traditional except that my mother in law always does pyrogies on top of everything else.

 

Immediate household only due to Code Orange and where my wife and I work with Covid Risk.

We will deliver a couple plates to parents.

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, bacon corn hash and a few other vegetable dishes I'm sure. Hopefully a homemade pie or cake for dessert. Off work until Thursday...woop woop.

Definitely a different Thanksgiving for us, but we are still very thankful we are all healthy, safe, employed and doing well.

 

mmmm pyrogies

 

I’m not sure what my mom brought. My side of the fam is at our place for the weekend. We’re excited

 

Got some home made beef/rice cabbage rolls with sides tonight

 

Real cabbage rolls don't have meat in them. And they're made with sour cabbage.

 

Our cabbage rolls were fake

 

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends.

 

Thanks Jim

We’re feeling thankful this weekend

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

(My Ukrainian/Polish wife’s family puts meat in their cabbage rolls. )

 

My Austrian grandmother puts meat in hers and tomato sauce over top. My Ukrainian grandmother does not.

 

Mom (Danish) used to make them with rice and beef filling, wrapped in cabbage and then baked in a tomato sauce

As a kid, I only ate the filling, never the cabbage wrapper. I'm an old fart now, so enjoy cabbage and will have to see if I can get her recipe to make them for our kids.

 

I grew up in a family of German/Ukrainian heritage. I never developed a taste for cabbage rolls. Must be because I'm adopted. LOL

 

I can't believe you haven't been banished from the prairies yet for saying that.

 

It's my blood ancestry that allows me to stay. It's lucky I know my birthmom and her family. LOL. Our ancestors were among the first off the boat into Canada in the early 1600's then fur trappers, settlers, farmers and ranchers as they worked their way west.

 

LOL. I’m not a fan of most of the in-laws Ukrainian cuisine either. But I do like cabbage rolls!

 

What Ukrainian cuisine would that be?

 

I’m suddenly craving sausage and perogies.
