Happy Tofurkey Day!

photo stolen from here

I've always thought these were beautiful birds, even back in the days when I ate them. Now I just enjoy seeing them out in the wild. I am now on my way home from work. This evening we will be partaking of the holiday dinner with the landladies, Landlady Wendy's father, brother, and sister-in-law, and 6 dogs. Over half the humans will be vegetarian. I suspect none of the dogs are, though there are two I'm not certain about. I shall be baking sweet potato pie - a rare delicacy here in New England - and David will be making a tofu chocolate pie and dressing (I guess once we've eaten it we can call it stuffing). At some point I hope to get in a nap.

Whether you're Amurcan or Furn, celebrate the holiday or not, I hope you all have a wonderful day.

You have completely made this Furn Amurcan's day...I needed that little personal labeling laugh. Here, it's not Thanksgiving, it's just Thursday, and I'm feeling all mopey about it. I always loved Thanksgiving more than Christmas because the only expectation was that you would hang with family and eat too much. French Dude says, "If I say thank you enough, does that mean we can just say the hell with pumpkin pie and go for sushi?"

There's no way around it. I miss my family and I need pie :-)

I have eaten Tofurky, and I liked it. But wow is it expensive!

Hope you had a great day. I'm full of pie, and I'm going to bed.

We have a duo of Faeries in Pa at a place called the Hermitage that keep a flock of heritage breeds as pets. They are both vegetarian but simply adore having turkeys wander around the farm.
