    Oh my god, I love the pumpkin bread! I usually make a cornucopia out of bread dough for Thanksgiving every year. A couple of sourdough pumpkins next to it and tiny pumpkin rolls inside would be amazing.

    Look at these! > https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/276472/pumpkin-shaped-dinner-rolls/

    I'm American and living in England so I normally invite English friends over to create a bit of festivity on what can be a quite sad holiday for me. So this socially distanced Thanksgiving will be quite depressing but I think I'm going to have to make some tiny pumpkin deliveries. :)

    Hey everyone, I am 49 years old. Can I get in on this group?

    Yes of course. I'm in on the 50-ish part. Been "-ish" for 4 years now, so perhaps soon get expelled. 🤣

    Who are we to say you won't live to be 120? :D

    Oh yes you must do something... you can always make a Thanksgiving meal and drop stuff off to friends. That's what we did this year (I'm Canadian and our Thanksgiving is in October)

    Happy Monday!!! If by working you mean doing the school drop off and pick up yup....I'm working. Everyday I scour the house listings to find a place closer to the boy's school but sadly no one seems to want to move.

    I ate too many of my delish chocolate cookies so it's gonna be a double workout day today I think have a good one

    @AliNouveau - how long of a commute is it for him/you? That sucks about struggling to find a place. So funny because just 90mins north of you and everyone is trying to sell their houses right now. Of course I know your market is way different there. Getting so expensive for housing everywhere.
    Good luck on the continued search 💕💕💕

    It's only like 15/20 minutes but it's on the 401 so it can be unpredictable. If I took the city route it would take forever due to construction. I guess I want to move to a very specific area that people don't like to move away from?

    Real estate is insane in this province. In this area you can't even get a crappy old must be renovated bungalow for less than a million and a half. People commute from up where you are driving the prices up. I don't know how young people get on the property ladder these days.....move to Kingston? 😂🤣

    Working...yes...always...I feel like I never really get away from it. I'm a bit more stressed than usual this week because I'm assisting with virtual 101 trainings this week, and we have 200 people signed up for it. I'm actually ok with public speaking...in public. For some reason though this webcam and zoom thing have me all messed up. I think it's because I can't see the reaction of my audience, are they getting the jokes? Do I need to slow down? Are they bored (of course they're bored, it's insurance). Via webinar I get nothing and it's harder for me.

    Anyway, i'll quit being gloomy. Upward and onward!!!

    @cgrout78 Tell us some jokes over at Dad jokes.
    There's a fella looking for people who like to laugh, too. Your talents are needed. They got the hook out and pulled me off the stage.

    I think I will do that, it's a lovely idea. And I've already had some (not so subtle hints) about pecan pie from friends this year :D Is pecan pie traditional at Canadian Thankgsiving? I'm from the south so I'm not even sure it's that common in the northern united states.


    I did read some talk of Nanaimo bars on MFP during Canadian Thanksgiving ::drool:: Tempted to add them to my glutton fest menu.
