The Joy of Cooking

For those of us in Canada, Thanksgiving weekend is just around the corner, and rather than try to suck every last remaining minute of the lingering summer, I'm already relishing the delight of planning the autumnal menu that I will be preparing this year.

Along with my sister's boyfriend who, like me, takes advantage of any opportunity to cook, I'm taking on the challenge of preparing the feast this year - turkey and all.

(My husband and sister will no doubt be enlisted as sous-chefs now and then, and of course, if anything goes wrong, there's always Mom.)
