To all my Canadian friends (and you know who you are) a very Happy Canadian Thanksgiving.

Come the American version I will celebrate as I have for years. With family off around the country and those closer involved with in-laws I've adopted a dinner for one: Roasted Cornish Hen, Baked Yam, many veggies salad and a glass of wine. All of which is followed by an anti-diabetic once a year (not counting my birthday) hunk of chocolate cake with fudge frosting. Also one of the few times I sit down at a table and do it up right instead of in front of the TV.
