That was what we did for Canadian Thanksgiving. 😁
I went with boxed everything and C rallied for the turkey. 😅
It's not Thanksgiving in Canada. So we watched the parade over the sound of our neighbors' condo renovation.
The NYC Thanksgiving parade isn't on TV here in Toronto. So, I had to use a VPN, family Peacock login, and HDMI cord to show the fam the parade. 😅
The family traditional breakfast casserole took 2 1/2 hours instead of the usual 90 minutes to cook. 😳
I thought I made hardboiled eggs in the Instant Pot this morning. Just cracked one .... raw. Maybe I forgot to push the start button?
