This weekend was Thanksgiving, and the family took advantage of the holiday and easement of some travel restrictions to cross into the States and spend a couple days in Syracuse, first trip back in three years!
A return to Syracuse meant a return to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que for a non-traditional Thanksgiving meal (that still managed to cover all the basic Thanksgiving food groups).

Later that evening, we went shopping at Destiny USA, where I thankfully remembered to make a post-pandemic return to Gertrude Hawkes for a load of delicious chocolate-covered goodies.
Stop for snacks on the way home, then pig-out, lounging, and TV at the hotel.
The next morning, we went to Cracker Barrel for a great brunch of American must-haves like sweet tea, biscuits and gravy, and grits. Found a cheap copy of George RR Martin's Fire and Blood at Walmart later in the day, and bought several of my favourite American junk food items before coming home.
So, this year I'm thankful to have lots more things to be thankful for.
Cheers!
