John and I are not going to be home on Thanksgiving so our son, Jon, offered to host Thanksgiving on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. In order to represent the entire North American continent (and to make the grandkids happy) we had a Mexican menu.

First we started with a cranberry margarita and chips and guacamole plus crackers with jalapeño cheese spread. Dinner consisted of a taco bar and make your own chicken, steak, shrimp, or vegetable tacos. There was also salsa and refried beans. It was all very yummy!

For dessert I brought my traditional Indian pudding made from my mother and grandmother’s old cookbook. It is a cornmeal and molasses custard which isn’t much to look at but is divine when served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Happy Thanksgiving, North America and many thanks to Jon and his family for hosting our great meal!
