Is it possible to block your own posts? Because I find most of my posts to either be offensive to me and/or embarrassing.

Sorry. I took TruBlu's phone for a sec.

Happy Thanksgiving! Resting up after dinner. Pies to come. Went with pumpkin, crapple, and a new recipe - Maple Bourbon Pecan. The recipe calls for chocolate to be spread over the crust before putting the pecans and filling in but I left that step off.

Let us know how they are received. My mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were crowd pleasers.

This supply chain problem just got real.

I remember the late ‘70’s when they had to dip into their strategic reserve of Helen Ready eight tracks. Those were dark days. And they’d only just begun….

Not playing into this.

They even had to ration John Candy in the early ‘80’s.

The Poutine Crisis of ‘93 took down the administration of PM Brian Mulroney. But you knew that.

The Last Waltz concert was 45 years ago today. The Band may be the best U.S.-Canadian joint project ever.

And since The Band was 80% Canadian, they probably could have televised them on SCTV and still made their Canadian content quotient.

Did one get a free turkey dinner with the show?

They did have a full Thanksgiving dinner for everyone at the show. I am sure it was a great event to experience.

We've all seen the film, but what many people don't realize is that the concert, held on American Thanksgiving, was a long celebratory farewell, which included a Thanksgiving feast for 5,000 people who paid $25 for tickets — an astronomical price at a time when tickets normally sold for between $4-$7. People dressed in their finest, sat at long tables draped in white table clothes and ate while dancers did the waltz in the middle of it all.

Bill Graham, who owned the Winterland Theatre where the performance was held, took great pride in the feast, easily recalling the specific quantities to anyone who asked throughout the evening. All while in a white tuxedo and top hat, no less. Both Robertson and Helm list the cornucopia in their bios, Testimony and This Wheel's on Fire, respectively. The feast included:

6,000 pounds of turkey (over 200 of them)
300 pounds of Nova Scotia salmon
1,000 pounds of potatoes
90 gallons of gravy
500 pounds of cranberry sauce
400 gallons of cider
400 pounds of pumpkin pie, and so on

Everyone seemed to like the pies and gravy. I came home with a piece of pumpkin for tomorrow's breakfast and a piece of crapple. Pecan seemed to go over well except for one down vote - BiL Alan isn't a fan of maple.

Excellent! And I am not crazy about maple either.

Because Canada owns that business?

Maple envy.

Whoa. There was some heavy gravy-induced posting last night!

I glazed my Turkey with cayenne butter maple. It turned out well.
