canadians know how to throw down on columbus day

As there are two Canadian's in my master's program, we recently celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. It was a delicious warm up for actual Thanksgiving. Boy, my classmates can cook! Emily, our hostess with the mostess roasted some beautiful chickens {finding a whole turkey will require some effort, but is something I hope to accomplish for 'merican t-giving}.

People generally brought things from their home country. {the Mexicans made guac and refried beans, the italians made tiramisu, not pictured: there was indian food, mashed potatoes, tortillas, taziki, sweet red bean balls and loads of other deliciousness [but no beaver, as was promised])}

In order to canadianify my favorite fall staple, I made maple pumpkin pie (seen below to the left of my second plate of the evening).

I also made an all canadian playlist, which can be found here for your next canada themed partay, to start off the evening, but by dessert we were dancing to indian and latin music (there was the mayonnaise song & dance), and apparently busted out something cancanesque.

So that was delicious and fun! And we will hopefully get to do it all over again in about a month!
