The pumpkin was a huge success. I was actually very surprised at just how much of a success it was. We had 17 people at the house for Thanksgiving dinner: 14 Canadians, 2 Irish, and 1 English (though he is very insistent that he is Cornish, not English).
It was an amazing evening of everyone pulling together and being the family that we left behind. The house was cleaned, a plethora of dishes were served, the ambiance was cozy, and the company buoyant.
I took some photos, and will post them tomorrow after the turkey coma wears off.
Jared actually went to a free range turkey farm and picked it out by the way. Then stayed up until 2am making special herbed butter that he massaged under the skin, got up at 6am, covered the bird in bacon, and baked it to juicy perfection. This is what I mean about our "landlord" going above and beyond the call of duty. For which I am very thankful.
