It's Canadian Thanksgiving and that's a better thanksgiving because there's 8 long weeks between it and Christmas without having dinner with your conservative relatives.

You scared me. It's 10 weeks till Xmas! Also cool I just dived into Canada Thanksgiving to learn more about it. I wish I was eating some home cooked turkey right now... my only observation is that it's Monday? From the sounds of it, you just do it on the weekend instead.i would hate to do this on a Monday and go to work the next day.

Turkey dinner Saturday or Sunday. Recuperation and turkey sandwiches on Monday.

We do it earlier so we can watch America beat themselves to death at BestBuy next month.

Hey fuck you black friday massacres were invented by the founding fathers to kill off the weak and it is part of what makes this the best damn country in not only the world but the universe as well.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's the best country in the whole country I tell you what

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You get the Friday after off? Lucky.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Half and half. I have to take the day, but it's not a problem to take it. Since working from home became a thing, I don't really bother taking it and will do a few things in the first hour and just kinda monitor throughout the rest of the day and only respond if someone reaches out. Since nobody is there, it's really quiet.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago

In my experience, its always just celebrated on the weekend. Canadian holidays are set up so that even if a holiday isn't on a weekday, we get the following Monday off anyway

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I’ve got three days of Thanksgiving dinners. It’s a lot here.

Saturday with the in-laws, Sunday for my family, Monday at our place with friends. It’s nice but it’s so much food. Then leftover turkey for a week.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My wife didn't want to serve the cranberry log last night. I guess she doesn't understand it's just a garnish and centerpiece.

Do I have to sing the Food Log Song at the two of you until you appreciate cylindrical goodness

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you haven't tried cranberry sauce since you were a kid, because you decided then you don't like it, keep trying it every year, you might start liking it. That's what happened for me, anyway. I started liking bitter flavors like this and green olives when I got older. Alas, I can't eat them anymore because of my gout.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I absolutely love cranberry sauce.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also look into making your own. It's super easy and so much better, you can tweak the tartness/sweetness ratio to your liking.

Instructions Combine sugars, water, and orange juice in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until sugars are dissolved, and bring to a boil.

⅔ cup (133 g) sugar ,⅓ cup (67 g) light brown sugar, tightly packed, ⅓ cup (78 ml) water, ⅔ cup (157 ml) orange juice Add cranberries and return to a boil. 12 oz (340 g) cranberries

Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook cranberries, stirring occasionally, 10-15 minutes or until all or most berries have burst (careful, there is some splatter) and the mixture is slightly reduced. The longer you cook your cranberries the thicker your mixture will be, but it will also thicken up after standing. Transfer mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

my recipe involves cranberry juice instead of water and grade b maple syrup instead of the sugars. also lemon zest

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i got home and could pull up the recipe:

  • 3 tablespoons juice (or orange zest, lemon zest, lemon juice - anything citrusy)
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup (not butter pancake syrup)
  • 1 16-oz. bag cranberries
  • 1 cup cranberry juice (or orange, apple or any other juice combination)

Procedures

Wash bag of cranberries under cool water, then dump into a medium saucepan.
Pour in 1 cup of cranberry juice (or whatever juice you choose).
Pour in 1 cup maple syrup.
Add orange juice.
Stir together and turn heat on high until it reaches a boil.
Once it comes to a rolling boil, turn the heat down to medium low and continue cooking over lower heat for about 10 minutes, or until the juice is thick.
Turn off the heat.
Pour into a glass dish and let cool. (i can't remember why this is important but i think it has to do with flavor. or dish staining)

For best results let sit in fridge overnight.

i can't remember what website i stole it from but it's pretty reliable. use your favorite drinking cranberry juice and make it more cranberryy why not

the sound it makes leaving the can is the peak of holiday happiness.

All the pumpkin spice people get excited about the wrong thing.

Autumn isn't pumpkin season, Autumn is cranberry season

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It truly is. I absolutely love it.

[–] Metostopholes@midwest.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Canadian Thanksgiving is a worse time to have it, as it cuts into valuable spooky season.

I hate cranberry sauce but my god I must have some every thanksgiving or it feels incomplete. Ugly gross stuff... I need it though.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Spiced cranberry sauce with some orange zest is my favourite.

[–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago
[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 1 week ago

Canned out homemade, it's always good to remember that cranberries are nearly inedible without a substantial volume of delicious sugar.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Is it ribbed on the inside too?

Who wants to pull the other end of the cranberry wishbone

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is the only "ribbed for your pleasure" my asexual ass will appreciate wholely

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please don't jam the jam in your ass

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You misunderstand

Cranberry is great for UTIs, not bowel movement. It wouldn't go in my ass

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

Great for UTIs, or getting rid of them?

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if I got an UTI after jamming up my peehole.

What if we took a ribbedy loaf and covered it in garlic, garlic butter, and another type of garlic?

Oh gods I'm gonna cook

It is not, in fact, Thanksgiving yet.

Edited to add, it is now, in fact, Thanksgiving.

Are you sure about that?

(I'm Canadian)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We're talking about Canadian Thanksgiving, not Canadan Thanksgiving. Are you from Canada or Canadia?

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it wasn't Thanksgiving in either Canada or Canadia when I posted originally.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

What about Candia? I hear it's delicious there

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We have Sunday and Monday. It's how it goes.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October. Whatever you do on Sunday is irrelevant that it is, in fact, not yet Thanksgiving, which is what I originally said.
