Thanksgiving Preview
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, which confuses Americans and makes sense to anyone who has tried to find fresh pumpkin in November in a country where winter starts in October. The turkey is ordered. The pie is planned. The debate about whether stuffing goes inside the bird or in a dish is about to destroy another family.
