Time to kick off holiday season! In Canada Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October. It is a celebration of the harvest and a time to express ones gratitude. I start preparing 6 weeks a head of time. Each week has a theme assigned to it. They are as follows:
- Week 1:Planning
- Week 2:Canning
- Week 3:Gathering
- Week 4:Decorations
- Week 5:Baking and Cooking
- Week 6:Celebrating
Last week I thought of who I would invite and invited them, planned my menu, made my grocery list and decided how I wanted to set the table. This week is about canning. I actually got a head start because we went Apple picking last weekend. I made apple butter! I must say it turned out very tasty! I made apple pancakes for supper tonight with some of it. I also plan to make some mustard pickles and zucchini relish this week. I use the recipe for my apple butter. from
Pick Your Own.org It turned out amazing.

That's awesome!
If it's not monsooning this weekend, clearly I'm going to have to go find some early apples here ...
Hmm, I should actually think about Thanksgiving since we usually go to my inlaws but they'll be away. Better get busy planning I guess!
