It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, and we made our yearly treck to my brother’s cottage. It should only be a little over a two hour drive, but as the years move on it’s gotten worse and worse. Over three hours!
We stopped to a world famous burger joint on Hwy 11, called Webers. I’ve never been. JT and I shared a burger and fries.

To be honest, it’s not the best burger I’ve ever had! Which is surprising because there is a lot of hype around it. It was nice to stretch our legs and eat it at a picnic table outside. This a good segway to the incredible weather we’re having…26C! Two years ago it snowed!
Here is a photo from 2009.
We’ve been celebrating Thanksgiving with my brother since our Mom passed away six years ago; it’s always a little crazy (2 kids and a giant dog) and this year is no different!
BTW, last night, we polished off most of the donkey ear cookies, cheese sticks and Tuppkaka!
JT and I usually take care of one dinner and one breakfast! JT made his famous Boeuff Bourgignon, I made dumplings, and we had the Tuppkaka for dessert.
This morning we are having Flower Power Eggs from Donna’s Tasty Kitchen and Croissants (tomorrow’s post).
It sounds like you had a wonderful thanksgiving. The weather was beautiful here as well. 🙂

We couldn’t ask for better weather, Ann. We weren’t even freezing on the boat-ride to town, this time!

Happy Thanksgiving. My sister-in-law is Canadian and is now living in Canberra, Australia. We went down to visit last weekend and she promised to cook us a Thanksgiving dinner but alas, she was unable to find a turkey so we had to go without that Canadian experience. We were quite disappointed (but didn’t let on!)

Hi Charlie Louie, I’d like to visit Australia some day. The length of the flight scares me, though.

Thanks Charles. The burger was nothing special, surprisingly. About 1cm thick patty.
