Turkey Time

As the countdown begins for another drive across the 401 I realize that this isn't the normal weekend in Toronto. Normally I show up, have some drinks, do some shopping, eat and leave. This time, there's a turkey involved.
I'm not much for holidays as I've mentioned before, but I enjoy holiday food. This is my third Thanksgiving without my mom's awesome pumpkin pie, but I'm looking forward to this year's orphans dinner. Sunita and I hosted orphans Thanksgiving a few years ago, we cooked (ok, I cooked most of it) and cheated a fair bit, but it was a lot of fun, and really good. I'm looking forward to see what happens when we all combine our family recipes. I'm making a Maskell/Riva tradition that everyone makes fun of until they eat it. Coke salad.
It's a jello salad with cherries and pineapples in it, and a can of coke. The coke adds some texture to the jello and it goes damn well with turkey. Mmm turkey. Actually my all time favourite Thanksgiving food is stuffing and gravy. What's yours?
