hi Angela ~ QOTW

Wow, you get to celebrate your b-day once in a while

on Thanksgiving? That is pretty cool. Will this

Thanksgiving be one of those b-day days?

Will it be your first as a vegetarian?

 

i always go to a friend's house for a big gathering for

Thanksgiving. We all get assigned dishes to prepare.

Since i am the only vegetarian, i always bring an

interesting veggie dish; the hostess used to assign

me a boring green salad, but she has since learned

i can cook well, so she trusts me with more interesting

ideas. i get requests for this dish called Sweet Onion

Corn Bake.

The best part of the Thanksgiving meal is that most

everything on the table, aside from the bird carcass, is

vegetarian. As long as you can make sure folks don't

pour chicken broth in the mashed potatoes etc. *lol*

i always have a full plate of delicious food that day,

and i don't get all stuffed or sleepy from the tryptophan

[sp] in the turkey.

Re: New week ~ new QOTW

every fourth Thanksgiving - 'cause it's my bday!! forget cake, I want

pumpkin pie!!!

 

Do you do anything special or make a signature dish that family and

friends expect

and look forward to?

not sense going veggie!! ( usta be the 'turkey' that made the turkey)

many people cook veggies and rice in chicken broth also...i try to be

polite, but if I'm at a new/unfamiliar place I always check...then

there is also the gelatin's hidden in desert items...

not this year, mama used to tease that I was her turkey, altho was born on a

Sunday.

No, been veggie since early to mid-'80's. actually was born veggie, hated meat

as a kid, forced to eat it ( they didn't know any better ) learned to like it,

and then in my late 20's - early 30's it started making me sick . Now the look

and smell make me nauseous - I avoid that section of the supermarket and use

lots of incense and scented candles when the neighbors bar- b- q. even with ac

the smell gets in - yuck!

 

 

 

I'm really ambivilent about Thanksgiving - thankful for a lot but tend to agree

with native american friends who see it as a celebration of the start of the

white mans abuse/theft of land, etc.

 

 

 

peace, Angela
