I know you’ve all been sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for a peak at our Thanksgiving Tofurky. Luckily, I took pictures. I present to you…..tofu turkey {insert appropriate drumroll}.
We splurged and purchased “The Feast.” It came with dumplings, gravy, and even a Tofurky Jurky Wishstix! The dumplings were yucky. Actually, they might have been okay, but I set the plastic wrapped dumplings on the hot stove surface and they all stuck together and turned into a mushy mess that wouldn’t separate; even when we put them in the boiling water to cook. The mushroom gravy was yucky as well. The wishstix was more hilarious than tasty. Too smoky tasting for me.
So, how was the Tofurky, you’re surely asking? It was quite tasty. We both liked it a lot. It came out of the package looking much like a large, round mushroom. We roasted it with some veggies and basted with a sauce of soy sauce, olive oil, and sage. The roasted veggies were delish.
Here’s my plate. I ate most of it.
I made an awesome Pecan Pie….my first attempt. {okay…actually I think it’s a second attempt…made one for Dad years ago but I don’t think he liked it…this one will blow his mind}. Thom fell in love with me all over again. You can print the recipe here.
I decided to go with good, ole Pumpkin Pie for myself.
I’d tell you what I wished for but then it might not come true!
We had a quiet, enjoyable Thanksgiving day down here in Ark. I spent that evening baking goodies for the potluck at work. Mom called and we booked my plane ticket home for Christmas. Work was crazy busy for Black Friday.
Yum yum are you kidding me Gina , we need that big bird on the table, Love ya!1
