ウィークリーレポート⑫
On Monday, it was holiday in Canada called “Thanksgiving Day.” Canada’s Thanksgiving Day appreciates the harvest and the grace of autumn, Families gather, and people eat special meals such as turkey, stuffing(diced bread mixed with vegetables like celery and onions, herbs, and baked in the oven; a stuffing or side dish for turkey.)and pumpkin pie.
Preparation for the meal begins around lunchtime. I helped to make stuffing and apple pie. Since we have an apple tree at home, I made an apple pie using apples from our own tree. Together with my host mother, I peeled about 20 to 30 apples. It was difficult to cut the apple peels into continuous, round strips, and I struggled with it.
Before dinner, host parents’ daughter showed us photos from her trip to France. The historic streets were lovely, and it made me want to visit too.
The meal brought together host parents’ daughter, son, the host father’s mother, sister, and others, making 11 of us in total. The dishes included turkey, stuffing, corn pudding, and potato gratin—it was truly luxurious. We ate the turkey with cranberry and gravy sauce. The turkey and stuffing, which I was eating for the first time, were delicious. For dessert, I had pumpkin pie and apple pie. The pumpkin pie was exquisite, with the perfect combination of pumpkin’s natural sweetness and the aroma of cinnamon. The apple pie perfectly matched the apples’ inherent sweet-tart flavor with the flaky, crisp texture of the pie crust.
Chatting away while eating special meals with my host family ,I was able to spend a busy holiday.

月曜日は「感謝祭（サンクスギビングデー）」
と呼ばれるカナダの祝日でした。カナダの感謝祭（サンクスギビングデー）は秋の収穫と恵みに感謝する祝日で家族が集まり、七面鳥やスタッフィング(角切りにしたパンを、セロリや玉ねぎなどの野菜やハーブなどと混ぜてオーブンで焼いた、ターキーの詰め物または付け合わせの料理)、パンプキンパイなど豪華な料理を食べます。
お昼頃から料理の準備が始まりました。私はスタッフィングとアップルパイ作りを手伝いました。家にりんごの木があるため、自家製のりんごを使ったアップルパイを作りました。ホストマザーと一緒に20〜30個のりんごの皮むきをしました。りんごの皮を途切れさせずに丸く切るのは難しく苦戦しました。
食事までの時間に娘さんがフランス旅行へ行ったときの写真を見せてくれました。歴史ある街並みが素敵で、私も訪れたくなりました。
食事には娘さんや息子さん、ホストファザーのお母さん、妹さんなどが集まり11人で食事をしました。料理は七面鳥、スタッフィング、コーンプディング、ポテトグラタンがありとても豪華でした。七面鳥には、クランベリーソースやグレービーソースをかけて食べました。初めて食べた七面鳥とスタッフィングはとてもおいしかったです。デザートにはパンプキンパイとアップルパイを食べました。パンプキンパイはかぼちゃの甘みとシナモンの香りの組み合わせが絶妙でした。アップルパイはりんご本来の甘酸っぱさとパイ生地のサクサク感がとてもマッチしていました。
ホストファミリーとご馳走を食べながら会話も弾み、賑やかな祝日を過ごせました。
