Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am in charge of desserts for the meal this year so I have been having a fun morning in the kitchen baking. I was hoping to do some of the prep work earlier this week but work was crazy (I worked nearly 40 hours in three days) so I had to do everything today.
I'm making pumpkin pie, apple pie and a cranberry upside down cake. I'm actually waiting for the pumpkin pie to finish baking right now so that I can head over to the festivities.
After spending today with Frank I am heading out to St. Thomas to visit my sister for the rest of the holiday weekend. I am so excited to see her and can't wait. My first trip to visit her on her island was actually for Thanksgiving in 2006. It was so hot and her stove wasn't working so we decided to make turkey sandwiches to celebrate Thanksgiving that year. It wasn't very traditional but it was a lot of fun!
What are you doing to celebrate Thanksgiving this year? Are you making anything tasty? What do you usually do to celebrate?

Cranberry upside down cake sounds yummy and your photo has me drooling. I have a number of family members that live in the USA, all on the west coast, so I usually raise a cheer of Happy Thanksgiving on this day - some years we have done two traditional Thanksgiving dinners, one on our own date in October and again in November, then call family in Washington and California. The USA Thanksgiving tradition of Black Friday shopping deals is spreading in Canada. I think I will escape to the island of home to avoid the craziness. :0
Hope you have a wonderful relaxing time with your sister in St Thomas. Turkey sandwiches are the best part of turkey leftovers or in some cases torfukery left overs.
I love, love, love cranberries and I think you need to post the recipe for that delicious looking cake! Have an amazing time with your sister!
