Hey, y'all feasting on turkey? I'd of thought it would be moose...
...or walrus or something.
Happy Thanksgiving, eh!

  Moose is one of my wifes favourite, one scared the proverbial crap out of her and since then she gets her revenge eating them. It's not to bad as a roast but I don't care for the stakes myself.

Happy Thanksgiving, you all. Thank you hume!
No turkey, though. : ) Vegan nut-loaf, portobello mushroom gravy, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus & brussel sprouts, baked candied yams, and cranberry sauce. Chocolate pecan pie & pumpkin tarts for dessert.
Oh, and (bottled) beer for libations.
I'm allowed to start drinking the beer when the hockey game starts at 3:30, Lol.

    I knowww, I am so ready for dinner. I made & cooked the nut-loaf on Friday and froze it till today, that way it doesn't go soggy as when making and cooking it the same day - kinda like lasagna, y'know? Because I had a dinner to go to on Saturday and because I was already using pecans in the nut-loaf, I made the pies Friday as well. Nobody was home so I cranked the music and baked up a storm. I made the tarts yesterday, on a whim and because I absolutely love pumpkin pie. All I had to do today was prep the veggies and the rest is gravy, baby.
    I totally got duped, though. There's no hockey game on today! My b/f just thinks 2pm is too early to start drinking.
    Well he's obviously NOT the chef, Lol.

A vegan. Now I know what you mean. Cool! It doesn't sound like you lack for good times at meals.
I must admit ...once some friends were jokingly lamenting the fact that there were no virgins left for sacrifice, and I suggested a vegan. Oh, my ignorance! LOL!
