WOW!!! I'm impressed. That's quite the Thanksgiving spread. You were one VERY busy cook. It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving to share with those you love. Sounds like a good time was had by all!

I am honoured to have a dedication!
I love leftovers.
Cranberry sauce is never depleted, it must regenerate in the fridge overnight.
I get to do this again ina month and a half.
Angel, where did you buy your Thanksgiving meal?

I love watching movies with thanksgiving dinners in them. It is a tradition that we don't have this side of the world. (THat and Halloween) Straight to Christmas for us.

For the very first time ever we bought a complete turkey dinner with all the trimmings from "Meals To Go" at Loblaws (grocery store). It just had to be ordered 24 hours in advance and paid for at the time of ordering. Previously we have always cooked the dinner but circumstances this year made that impossible this year. We had also considered going to Swiss Chalet but opted for the other instead.

Slobber, slobber, hmmm favourite Canadian food, salty crunchy, those fries, that special sauce!!! I consider visiting a Swiss Chalet restaurant part of the ritual of going home.

I have a HUGE weakness for salty crunchy food and the fries you mentioned (we call them chips) would just about send me over the edge. I can almost taste them.

Just SO not fair. I have just finished my fat free yoghurt and meal in a glass mixed with water instead of milk and am ABSOLUTELY not satisfied and I am hungering for those fries and might just hop on an airplane to come get some.

angel girl - i started at 7:30 yesterday morning cooking and cleaning

dinner was ready to serve by 6.

i can totally understand why you didn't cook

if i wasn't a little hypomanic these days i don't think i could have pulled it off!

the toilet blew up but everybody enjoyed the meal (said it was the best turkey and food they'd had over the turkey day weekend) and we played with the ouija board and had a great time.

i loooooove swiss chalet

i dip the fries in ketchup
then dip them in the sauce

ummm

i always order extra chalet sauce

one little dipping bowl is not enough!

my old roommate used to melt butter in the sauce. that was gross. he also used to steal cutlery from there. i'm pretty sure i have a swiss chalet knife in my drawer.

Well, we'd get along fine as Swiss Chalet dining partners, then. I love the chicken, but I don't care for the sauce. You could have mine.

Ever had St. Hubert chicken? It's yummy, too.

my grandmother loved loved loved st. hubert chicken

however i had st hubert in montreal (or was it quebec city ... or somewhere else in quebec ... can't remember now) and i was distinctly unimpressed

why?

because they don't have THE SAUCE

that's right, it's all about the chalet sauce.
and i will happily take yours any day, larry hoover.

chicken's chicken, but it's all about sauce :)

 

No Swiss Chalet or St. Hubert ... but

we have Spur - all over the country. They make the yummiest fried onion rings.

We have Kentucky Fried Chicken and Nandos Grilled Chicken.

Then there's Macdonalds (of course!)

And Steers (good burgers)

And plenty plenty pizza places of all sorts of names.

Umm, another restaurant chain is Saddles, almost identical to Spur.

And Buffalo Bills - great steaks

I'm hungry again. I'll drink a glass of water. I'll have it with sauce please.
