…the prep started last Wednesday

I don’t normally work on Wednesdays anymore but we were shorthanded so I went to the Inn to help out.

Wednesday is the day we make the sourdough bread and some specialty breads. The day before we prepped for five different breads so I was surprised that we were making buns and Japanese milk bread on top of the regular sourdough.

Even though some folks thought we made too much bread (over 90 loaves) we sold out in two hours. For our Thanksgiving dinner I purchased a package of the Big Buttery Buns.

Yesterday we had our Thanksgiving dinner at our house. It was a special day since our daughter Gaelan and her family joined us for the first time in five years. Earlier this year they sold their house in New Brunswick and moved back to Ontario. Andrea and Josie joined us as well so we were Seven in total for dinner.

Tomorrow and on Wednesday, Winnie and her dad are celebrating their 11th and 50th birthdays so we also had birthday cake and handed out gifts. Sadly I didn’t take photos.

After the meal everyone pitched in to help with the clean-up. We put the turkey bones in a pot and made broth. Today I ladled the broth into 4 1/2 large mason jars and finished cleaning the kitchen. Kevin went out into the garden and started cleaning out the vegetable garden. He picked more bean and tomatoes.

Today is the official holiday. I have the rest of the day to relax and enjoy this beautiful sunny day.
