It’s Thanksgiving weekend up here in Canada, and today I’m hosting dinner for my entire extended family. That’s my mom, my grandmother, three sisters and their significant others, and all my nieces and nephews. Whew!

Luckily I have many, many lists and schedules keeping me sane. The apple crisp just came out of the oven, the sweet potatoes are in there now, the turkey goes in at noon. Any minute now I must get up and start preparing the lunch.

So I must run, but I leave you with this little gem Captain Jelly Belly tossed off while looking at a picture of a turkey he made at school:

“I think I know why they call this kind of animal a turkey! It must be because they really like eating the food called turkey!”

I just agreed that that was probably it. I’ll save his introduction to the food chain for a day when I’m not expecting 14 for dinner!
