Last Friday, I decided to make a menu and grocery list.  I looked ahead on my food holidays calendar, and created a menu to celebrate those holidays.

Monday: Columbus Day – which means Italian – Angel Hair and Alfredo, wedge salad with Italian dressing, and garlic bread made with Jimmy John’s day old French bread

Tuesday: Mushroom Day – Stroganoff with extra portabellos

Wednesday: National Boss Day (Is that a real thing??) – Shepard’s Pie

Thursday: Pasta Day – Ravioli with sausage in a chunky red sauce

Friday: No real holiday, which means choose your own holiday…well not really but we haven’t had BLTs in a while

Weekend: we’ll have a full house, so it’s a little less structured.

Anywho… I have had this all planned out, groceries bought, meals prepped, when I realized at work this morning that today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada.  HOW DID I MISS THAT?! I mean, you would think I would remember that being 1/32nd Canadian…I guess I will have to chalk this up to poor planning.  I am sure that my great-great-grandparents would say don’t worry aboot it, eh?
