H ey just before I pop myself off to bed tonight, I wanted to wish all my Canadian friends a happy Canadian Thanksgiving Day for today past. I have just come back from a cool dinner which was lovely.

And I was thinking when I was walking home that I am thankful for how many great Canadian people I have know over my lifetime. You are very “real” people, very generous and very welcoming. And most of you are geeky which makes me laugh, very sweet people.

Note to foodies - mmm I discovered what I am told is a northern Canadian dish. Sweet potatoe (somewhat different from the kiwi Kumera - less starchy - US sweet potatoe is more of a cross between squash and a potatoe, though sweet in flavour) that has been cooked and mashed, then layered with pecan nuts, covered with a brown-sugar and butter mixture then baked. Serious comfort food - the flavours are grounding and sweet, haha you feel like you are getting away with something having a desert flavoured vegetable. Mmmm and the fresh cranberry sauce, damn fine.

Night.
