Thanksgiving

Jo and I had a fun Thanksgiving. We spent the morning in the kitchen, making vegan flan and TOFURKEY!! Everyone's always grossed out by it when I tell them about it, but those who actually try usually really like it. The funniest thing about it is its shape. It's shaped like a football, as Jo is demonstrating...
"Show them what they've won, Jo..."





We went over to Jo's folks house to have dinner with them. Jo's mom and stepdad are on the RAVE diet, which is essentially a vegan diet, which meant that we had a vegan Thanksgiving. I've never had a vegan Thanksgiving before, but I thought it was a pretty cool twist on the traditional holiday.

Here's the tofurkey after being cooked.

Mashed potatoes and a uber healthy stuffing.

Cabbage rolls and potatoes.
Cranberry sauce

Pumpkin bread and wheat bread



All in all, a good time. Afterwards, Jo broke out the games, which he loves. This one is called Rukshuk. The goal is to stack abnormal shaped rocks into specific formations. I don't like to play this one very much because I'm not good at it, but after a bit we broke out Catch Phrase, which is an absolute blast to play. A great way to end the night!
