Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Mine was wonderful.
I made myself a Tofurkey, which came out really good. It was the first time I ever made one from scratch, and I was pleased with myself. It took a lot of work, though, and I think next year, unless I am the hostess (in which case my meals are much more elaborate) I'll have a store bought tofurky.
I also made Tofu-pumpkin pie, which came out incredible. Everyone--even my meat eating relatives--really loved it. I didn't tell anyone it had tofu in it until after it was eaten. They looked a little shaken up at this idea, but no one tried to take back the fact that they'd liked the pie.
I also made cranberry sauce. I make it every year. My grandmother, this year's hostess, was in charge of everyone else. Sweet Potatoes, mashed potatoes, carrots, asparagus, a big salad, stuffing, broccoli... and of course, they had their turkey and gravy, but I turned the other way and didn't look at that.

In reference to my post on 11/24 regarding Forever21, I still haven't gotten a response from the company. I just wanted to let everyone know that that campaign is being spearheaded by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (www.peta.org or www.peta2.org) with the help of what they call their "street team"--a group of teens and 20-somethings who work with the group to spread the word about the animal rights movement. Anyone who is interested in getting involved in this movement should check out those sites.

Till Next Time,
M
