Anyone else feeling stressed about Thanksgiving?

[Guest guest]

I was for a minute there lol.

I have discovered I have an appointment I cannot miss Thursday

afternoon! It isnt holidays of course here in UK, but I was planning a

nice cosy *leisurely* family dinner in the evening.

 

But - no reason why that cant still apply! I have decided to take a

planned snack with me for just in case I am delayed, and leave dinner

cooking slowly... either slow-cook oven bake ( got taken with slow

cooked red cabbage of late) or last minute.

 

I think the thing is if I get it all planned out meal wise and shop on

Sunday, no problem.

 

so I can still be a Honorary Thanksgiving Person and dine with you.

Maybe if its around 7 or 8 my time some of us will even be eating

together

mosaic, I live in California, so I will join you as I have my

Thanksgiving lunch!

 

I still haven't decided on my menu. It will include whatever

veggies look good in the market and either baked squash or sweet

potatoes, plus a mix of brown & wild rice. My protein will likely

be tempeh (fermented soy) and a bit of cheese.

 

I plan to have dessert, either spiced fruit w/nuts or RR pumpkin

pie. And I will have some lovely herbal tea.

 

I shall raise a glass to you and be thankful for everyone in our

community! cheers, Cinzia

Hi mosaic,

 

I love thinking about having Thanksgiving with you.

 

I am having a night before Thanksgiving meal with some of my

family who don't eat meat but like fish, and I am making

lemon/orange/ginger flounder, sweet potato muffins and

green beans. My honorary mom (we decided to adopt each other

as mother and daughter a few years ago) is bringing sassafras

root that she gathered and made into juice and seltzer water

to mix for a sparkling drink.

 

Then on Thanksgiving I am going out to dinner with more family

to a restaurant. I plan to call ahead and see what they have and

bring some browns in my purse if I need to. So I'll be thinking of

you because we'll probably be eating simultaneously with the time

difference.

Mosaic,

 

Count me " in " I'll bring my fine chopped salad, with at least 8 veggy's in it.

A side dish of

Wild Brown Rice & Tofu (seasoned with cayanne pepper) is alway's fun too.

cayenne pepper? I love that stuff and think it sounds just the job

for tofu!

 

good luck to all with all your friends and relatives. I won't have

any problems there ( the big gatherings being Dec 25) only be the 3

of us but you will all be in my thanksgiving thoughts

Ooh wild rice and tofu with cayenne pepper sounds delicious Bob!

 

Hi, I'm Tina... I just joined the list. I am not fully a vegetarian but I

have contemplated making the change several times. I spent a month this past

summer in a yoga ashram eating all vegetarian meals and I really liked it. It

was certainly more challenging to get enough protein but I still felt radiant

and I made it work. I'm looking forward to learning more with everyone here!

Do you just put Cayenne on it or some other spices as well? I usually

only but the tinist bit of cayenne in my cooking because me and Sicy

things don't agree with each other.

 

I should also introduce myself. My name is Jess. I just moved to a

Buddhist retreat center in the mountains of Northern Colorado where

the majority of my meals are vegetarian.

 

I'm very glad to be here.

Jess,

 

Per 2 cups of rice and 1/2 cup of tofu (1 shake of the shaker).

 

Bright Blessings,

 

Bob
