Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday – a celebration of the harvest with food, friends and family.

Canadian Thanksgiving is today, so in an effort to enhance Canadian Studies, or at least the ability of Kansans to be able to geographically identify Canada as that place up north, Amy and I host an annual dinner, for ex-pats and, this year, our students.

They never turn down food. We remember what it’s like to be students.

But the supermarket I frequent didn’t have whole turkeys – American Thanksgiving isn’t until the end of November. There was, however, a fresh, huge turkey breast, reduced for quick sale (which meant I couldn’t thaw my turkey on the kitchen counter). So I bought two, experimented, and will be using the trusty meat thermometer.

We’re going to go eat, when the other 10 people arrive.

A video will be up in a few days.
