In my second year of university, I moved in with someone from Canada and she introduced me and the rest of our housemates to the concept of Canadian Thanksgiving. I always thought Thanksgiving was limited to America, but nope the Canadians celebrate it too. Anyway, last year we prepared a nice meal altogether and we decided to keep that tradition alive.
Although I don't have the prettiest photos to show you, I decided to do a spontaneous blogpost anyway (I say spontaneous as I have now otherwise decided on a fixed schedule on my blog - I will be updating Wednesdays and Sundays). Our meal was pretty healthy, consisting of some garlic bread for appetisers, followed by roast vegetables (parsnips, eggplant, zucchini, and sweet carrots), grilled corn on the cob, sweet potato mash, and of course, roast chicken. I stayed away from the last one as I am a self-proclaimed pescetarian at the moment, however. And of course we weren't entirely healthy, topping off the meal with an indulgent chocolate cake from Tesco. This is obviously not the greatest cake I've had (you'll have to go to Hummingbird Bakery or Patisserie Valerie for that), but it can instantly be transformed by adding some froyo or icecream on the side, to give it more moisture and richness.

Sorry for the presentation - we're students after all.
