It's holiday time! I have an array of cookbooks, magazines and printed recipes spread out on the dining room table. I've ordered the turkey and the shopping list is nearly completed. Tomorrow, armed with my reusable grocery bags I'll make my way to the big market where I'll insert myself in the endless throng of others all doing there holiday grocery shopping as well. Every other year our little home has two Thanksgiving feasts. One on thanksgiving, and one the following Saturday, this is because logistically we travel in different directions for the holiday. We enjoy a good home cooked holiday feast so this is our compromise. It tricky and consist of a lot of meal planning, shopping and cooking. Added into the mix, I don't eat meat, so the vegetable dishes, at least for me, are the most interesting part. I can't stand Tofurkey. I have tried it on several occasions and I just don't like it and either does anyone in our house, so its better to have a nice selection of vegetable dishes. I have a few new recipes I am looking forward to trying out, including a cranberry relish from December 2008 and a vegan pumpkin pie, November 2011 Yoga Journal Magazine! I'll let you know how it taste. So here's to holiday madness but with a celebratory tone as things are much more peaceful and grounded this year. Many blessing, much to be thankful for this year.
Jai, peace and love to all!
