Happy Thanksgiving

November 24, 2000

Lets all keep in mind, that the pilgrims, who consumed turkey, on that first

thanksgiving day, are no longer living. Doug

November 24, 2000

Oh yes, you're right! Now I see why meat is so

bad for you! Hmmm... If I dont eat meat, I

would live to be over 400 years old! C'mon, Doug

you can do better than that! So, are you

considering adding raw insects to your diet? (cooking them

would destroy all their value, of course) What

do you think of Sushi? It's raw, after

all. Raven " The Near Omnivour "

Well I fasted for 4 days prior to Thanksgiving

and that was it. What ultimate truths did I obtain?

The fact that my family is a bunch of morons! That

was the ultimate truth I obtained while fasting

:-) Actually, I already knew that but what can ya do? It was

really a pitiful sight to see my S-I-L's 20 year old

daughter force a bottle of formula down her 6 month old

baby's throat. He kept turning his head and clearly

didn't want it but she forced him to eat. I asked why

she wasn't breast feeding and she krinkled her nose

and shook her head like it was something disgusting.

Wellllll that's when I tried to explain to her that

formula is no bueno. She said she was switching to nonfat

milk in a few months. Oh, that's just great! Let a cow

nurse your baby instead of you nursing him yourself. As

you can imagine, the discussion didn't go real well

because my two idiot brothers jumped in to her defense.

What the? They don't even believe milk is good for

humans but there ya go. Always on the attack. What else

is new? I left soon afterwards so there ya have it.

I hope yours was happy.

November 26, 2000

Your family is a bunch of morons? What a coincidence, my friends are a bunch of

morons. Doug

November 26, 2000

Your family is a bunch of morons? What a

coincidence, my friends are a bunch of morons. I told one

of my friends I eat raw food. He said,

sarcastically, " Do you chant too? " but all is not lost one of

them is giving it a try. Doug

November 27, 2000

Actually, it appears almost everybody I know is a

bunch of morons but such is life. That's pretty funny

what your friend said about chanting. Not HA-HA funny,

but pathetic funny. I told a male

friend/acquaintance of mine I was eating only raw foods and he smiled

from ear to ear, started to salivate an said " there's

only one thing I'll eat raw. " eesh.

Kadee,

We had a great Thanksgiving over at my Mom's house. My son who is

living in a dorm/apartment at college out of town, brought his two

new rats he got. They are so cute! Two females; one white, and one

brown. My son and my brother spent some time before lunch

constructing a tall cylindrical cage out of hardware cloth for them

so they can have more room, and also room to climb and exercise in.

After lunch, they got to nibble on some green beans. My son says

their absolute favorite thing is cheese, but he doesn't give them

that very often.

Thanks for sharing the pic of your rat! Is that, like, his very own

pie????? LOL!

Wonderful!! I love to see people appreciating rats. They are such wonderful

little animals. That is especially funny to me about those two building a big

cage for the rats, I have a homemade one that I worked really hard on and it is

so much fun giving them things. He's good for not giving them too much

cheese, it hurts their tummies.

And no, that is not his very own pie!! That's my pie!! He did get some, though.

All my rats, mice, and hamster got their very own little bowls of stuffing,

potato salad, stuffed mushrooms, and pie. Now I have a room full of very sleepy,

very happy rodents. Glad you liked the picture!

Kadee,

Cute animals and nice digs for them ( love the dogs...) ). My two dogs

sleep where they want most times, too, but when they shed, as my 14 year old

white and brown hound does, that is not too cool for dark dress clothes.

Normally, I keep a couple of empty small laundry baskets on my sofa and that

deters them; however, this week I have been home and they have found the sofa a

nice comfy place to rest, when noone is looking...lol.

My dogs enjoyed stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey and gravy...my husband is

a meat eater and he requested turkey for Thanksgiving (the first that we have

cooked together; he cooked the turkey and I made the dressing from day old buns,

celery, onions and canned broth and mashed real potatoes). We were supposed to

have had a guest, but he had to back out and take his daughters out for lunch to

the Cracker Barrel, since their mom had gone out of town. Hubby will eat

meatless meals many times (spicey lentils and couscous are his favorites), but

he does love his meat.

Thanks for sharing your pics with everyone.

They just got their ordinary feasts on Thanksgiving because I was tired from

feeding the

three humans, but they didn't mind because they can't tell time or read

calendars. I gave

them some red pepper as a treat the next day and there is cucumber waiting to be

cleaned, peeled, and sliced in the fridge now. Of course, they did get their

usual carrots,

romaine, spring mixed greens, parsley, pellets, timothy hay, and orchard grass.

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate this day, whether with family and

friends or quietly by themselves. As you know, we Canadians had our Thanksgiving

over a month ago, but my dh and I will be thinking of American friends and

family members when we sit down to our own meal today.

And of course, as at every time we all have something to celebrate, I ask:

What's for dinner? (No no no LOL Puhleez don't anyone tell us if you're eating

something non-vegetarian!!!! LOL) Any new ideas for a splendid cruelty-free

Thanksgiving feast? Love to hear!

Love and hugs to all,

Pat

Hi Everybody,

Warning - these are not low-fat recipes!

Leek and mushroom stuffing from the Epicurious recipe and added pine

nuts, water chestnuts, wild rice and lots of herbs. It turned out

wonderful.

Portobello mushroom gravy from Epicurious -- I'm not sure whether I'm

happy about the flavor. I'll have to dink around with it further and

see what it needs.

I got pre-cooked rolls from Whole Foods that I'm just going to heat

up.

Homemade cinnamon ice cream to go with the applie pie I picked up at

our local apple farm.

My mom is cooking a tofurkey, mustard greens (thanks mom!). Sister

in law is making pumpkin pie, fruit salad, sweet potatoes.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Zucchinni pie with potato crust, spinach and Swiss stuffed mushrooms, stove top

casserole with pecans and vegan marshmallows. Twice!

This looks so very good, I'm almost ready to try them all out at once - but

maybe later in the season! You're right, not exactly low fat. But a good recipe

is a good recipe, right? So . . . .

I looked up the leek and mushroom stuffing - sounds wonderful - and was figuring

out how to make it less fatty - not difficult, I think And remember, that

recipe was for 10 or 12. Divide that cup of butter (wow!) by 12 and you wouldn't

have so very much - and thinking of making that stuffing for 2 persons (our

household, discounting for purpose of this exercise our beagle who cannot eat

mushrooms) made me think of sauteeing in stock. That's what I did for our

Canadian Thanksgiving (albeit for a different recipe) and it worked just fine

Not quite sure which of the Epicurious gravy recipes you used - but likewise fat

can usually be kept down to a dull roar if not eliminated. (Just a thought for

next year - no hassle - just trying to be helpful!)

And the rest of the menu? Fantastic!!!!!! Curious about that zucchini pie - got

a recipe to share? I love zucchini and just made up a soup (well, I had zucchini

I needed to use up and time to experiment) a couple of days ago that was very

good and I have a request to make it a regular part of our weekly menu. Hmmm.

Anyway, thanks for all that. Lots of imagination, love of food, and lots of time

and effort went into what looks like a fantastic menu that should please

everyone! Hope the day itself was up to the food!!!!!

Love and hugs, Pat

Hi Pat,

Thanks for your good wishes!

The other day I heard of the NPR (National Public Radio) Tiki

Thanksgiving (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?

storyId=16446982) and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I made a

vegetarian alternative of their Tiki recipes, such as Tofu loaf but

with the same spices and formed into a Tiki god shape as they

describe, and always using vegetarian broth wherever they mention

meat broths. I also made a homemade gravy instead of the store bought

they recommended.

I put on the Hawaiian music station on our satellite and we all wore

artificial leis and shell necklaces, and in the evening my husband

made Tiki drinks. It was quite a party!

The cake mentioned on the NPR site ( " Flaming Coconut Pineapple Apple

Pumpkin Upside-Down Pie Cake " ) turned out great! It really worked and

tasted very good, and the kids loved the " flaming " part! The other

tasty recipe was the " Tiki " green bean casserole that uses a Thai

coconut sauce and peanut butter to give a Thai flavor to the

traditional green bean casserole. And the Hawaiian bread stuffing was

tasty as well. I usually don't make the marshmallow yams (too sweet

for my taste) so the Tiki yam recipe was only so-so in my opinion,

although the sautéed bananas certainly added a good flavor. Adding

mangoes to the cranberries is a great idea, and I think I'll do that

every year from now on.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving (or Thursday for non-

U.S. citizens)!
