I never knew this before, but Wholefoods offers a pre-made vegan thanksgiving dinner! My mother, being the very wise and intelligent woman that she is, ordered it for me and it was AMAZING. It started off with a serving of almond crusted green beans that I heated up in a skillet, and was followed by an amazing "winter soup." After that, there was a breaded vegan "turkey loaf" with a wild rice and cranberry stuffing in the center. Mind blowing stuff. To top it off, there was an oyster mushroom gravy that brought the entire meal together. I was a big big fan.
Returning home was good, and while I got off to a great start with my rawness, I was thrown off track by two events: One was a hannukah celebration with my neighbors. They had yam latkes (which i could NOT resist) and of course, wine. I did however manage to fend off a hilarious offer to blaze with them, and stuck with wine instead. The next day I had the typical symptoms of a runny nose and puffy eyes, and had totally forgotten that I was going to a sorority formal with my friend Holly. I ended up eating cheese, (gasp!) crackers, and even drank a bit of vodka and club soda. I'm now recovering from my self sabotage, and am beginning to feel good again.
Here's a close up of a sandwich I made the other day. It had a curry mushroom burger, romaine lettuce, radish sprouts, tomato slices, guacamole and it was all on onion-flax flatbread. YUM.
Best,
Cliff
