I'm trying to decide what to make for Thanksgiving dinner. We're invited to two dinners, one Thursday and one on Saturday. Since the British don't celebrate Thanksgiving, it's simply another work day here, so we Americans cram our holiday in whenever we can.
In the past I've made Bryanna's seitan "turkey", sometimes as a roulade with stuffing inside. I've also made Breast of Tofu, stuffed with cornbread dressing. And I've served various dishes involving puff pastry and filo dough. (Not at the same time.) Here's one that just popped into my inbox, from Vegetarian Times.
I'm considering bringing Cornbread and Pinenut Stuffed Cabbage Rolls to Thursday's dinner with friends, since it can be a main dish or a side dish. For Saturday's large international gathering, there's a vegetarian Shephard's Pie in the last issue of Gourmet (yes, I got my hands on it!) I may make, along with the delicious Roast Garlic Gravy from last year's holiday issue. (Here are more vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes from Gourmet.)
This year I've seen more vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes than ever before, online anyway. That gives me a great feeling, that more of my little friends won't be bred and forced to live in cramped Butterball conditions, only to spend their final moments in pain and fear.
And then there's those pesky CO2 emissions.
Enjoy your holiday, if you celebrate, and if not, well, it's a great day to see a movie, isn't it?
