Man, you know what’s gotten way too mainstream?
Thanksgiving in November
So overplayed.
Dude, you know what people don’t celebrate as often in Portland?
Canadian Thanksgiving.
Oh yeah, it exists. It’s ok if you haven’t heard of it. Not many people have. But it’s huge in Canada.
And so much less commercialized. I hate overplayed Thanksgiving has gotten. It used to be cool you know?
I can’t believe people still wait till November for it. You realize celebrating in October also helps subvert Columbus day too? Don’t even get me started on Columbus. Friggin’ colonialism.
Know what else is overdone? Roses.
Dahlias are way better. Plus I got mine from a small farm. You’ve probably never heard of it.
I debated between PBR and a barrel aged sour to go with dinner, but the co-op was closed so we were stuck with wine.
Symphony is kind of a rare varietal. It’s ok if you haven’t hear of it.
(if you look closely there’s a chip in the wine glass. Cause it’s vintage)
For desert we had pie that I baked while my husband watched football. But I baked it in a totally subversive way, I swear.
(pumpkin pie is so overdone. Apple pie is where it’s at)
And then we watched Win a Date with Tad Hamilton on HBO.
Ironically of course.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
