and my books and magazines. Was reading Jane Goodall's new book. I couldn't

help myself...bought it to the tune of $24.95 so I took the Now and Zen Un-

Turkey back for a refund. Now tomorrow the family will be having canned soup.

Maybe water and bread. Oh, by the way, I love the quotes you always add. I

love the one below...stay in the moment and you will discover such delights.

Mary put jam on her bread to go with the water which was cheating. And now the

goddesses are retaliating...I got run over by a cold yesterday and I am so

pissed. Why? Cause the darn sun is out today and the sky is blue and I shouldn't

go out and expose the world to this cold...Irritate me and I may sneeze, cough,

blow nose in their presence. Hope you are seeing the sun too down there.

 

You are a little slow on the response...I should have taken the unturkey back

and eaten the book. And someone should have warned me about the disgusting

texture of the Now and Zen. Well, off to blow nose....poor thing looks

read...Maybe I am Rudolph in disguise.

i may be joining you on this cold thing. i thought it

was just allergies, but the jury is still out.

 

Yes, i am a bit behind. i took a break from the

computer for Thanksgiving and yesterday i didn't

turn it on either. Never fails that when i do that

susie goes and files over 50 of our recipes! [thanks susie]

My inbox had over 120 messages... so i was going thru

them in order.

i think i will abandon my idea to try the now & zen unturkey.

It sounds really gross. Quorn brand or Tofurkey from here

on out.

Did you get the Thanksgiving issue of Vegetarian Times?

They have a really interesting sounding recipe for a tofu

turkey. I t seems a tad time consuming, but looks to make

a lot. The picture was weird though, but that was more

due to the way the ladies that made it decorated the thing.

Thanks for the kleenex...it had perfume on it though and now I am sneezing

again. Nice try!

 

Yes, well yesterday when it started I thought it was an allergy too...I just

started sneezing uncontrollable and endlessly and everyone was laughing...we

were in the car with no kleenex. I swore it wasn't a cold, just an allergy.

Wrong again. I have been wrong all week long. Damn, hope my streak of

" wrongedness " changes soon or I will have to join the backyard mole in his den.

I shall keep my fingers crossed that for you it is indeed just an allergy.

 

I will have to look at the Vegetarian Times...I am sure that I did see it and if

it was complicated or long dismissed it. I don't usually buy it as it has only a

few vegan recipes in it and I do get exasperated with having to substitute all

of the time...I am lazy as you can tell. I would love to be able to try the

Quorn since everyone brags about how good it is, (which is very unkind to do)

but it isn't vegan. Besides that dear, if you hadn't noticed TG is over so

making a tofu turkey is now a bit outdated. Onward and upward I always say.

Well, we do have the xmas/yule dinner to contend with,

so all hope is not lost. We can talk turkey substitutions

for another month yet! *lol*

The recipe did look a bit labor intensive.... but not overly

so. If i remember right one had to press the tofu mixture

in some cheesecloth overnight to get all excess moisture

out and to give the tofu-turkey the proper texture.

A lentil or TVP loaf recipe would be easier and likely

just as tasty for the holiday feast. That is what i plan to

do this year for Yule.

As they swoop, drift, and glide, inscribing magnificent

patterns across the sky, birds are serene displays

of grace and beauty. Long a source of inspiration,

birds can be messengers from the spirit realm,

or a symbol of the human soul, as they cast off

their earthly mooring and soar heavenward.

An upturned wing, a graceful flutter,

all so effortless and free...
