Sometimes a life change comes along and upends long-held traditions. Readers share stories about their first time celebrating Thanksgiving in a new way.
Thanksgiving is all about traditions. Family and friends gather every year, decorative gourds trim the table and the same dishes are prepared the same way. Even swapping a beloved side dish can be grounds for intense debate.
I remember waking up on Thanksgiving morning thinking that maybe I should have taken the turkey out of the freezer. I phoned my dad and asked how long the turkey needs to defrost before cooking. I was shocked when I found out it would take days to thaw in the fridge. It was a holiday and I couldn’t go out and buy a fresh turkey.
When it was finally ready I discovered it had been cooked upside down. But it was delicious, and I later read an article that said this was the way to cook it for a really tender turkey. I was quite pleased with myself for being at the forefront of this new cooking trend.The first time cooking a turkey in an Instant Pot in a camper van In 2021, we converted a Mercedes Sprinter 170 van into a camper and have since taken it across the country twice.
It was one of those rare moments when I asked my parents for something and they immediately obliged. Looking back, I feel they did this as an excuse to have our refugee family members gather, and to help me adjust by taking part in these Canadian traditions. I’m from a little town called Mount Uniacke, about 30 minutes from Halifax. My mom had passed away and this was the first year without her, so I moved in with my dad for a couple years to be close to family. My mom brought people together. I’ve tried to fill those shoes, to keep everyone together.
