Should be getting it in the oven in the next hour. I've already made my 2 pumpkin pies and cranberry sauce, and shredded bread by hand for stuffing. Already hungry for the big meal, and we've got several hours to go yet. Elliot cut his first tooth yesterday, so he's almost ready for turkey, but not quite :) Have a lovely day, Melissa!

I actually went shopping for some. You can buy tofurky, which is made out of tofu. You can buy it with an entire vege meal, including fake turkey giblet gravy and stuffing. I was going to buy tofurky, but then I found a loaf of vege meat that was probably more what I'm used to. My family has sometimes bought something called holiday loaf, which really bears no resemblance, physically or in taste, to turkey, but is very good. It's textured soy in big chunks, put together in a loaf. What I bought appears to be a lot more finely grained. I'm not sure what to expect. You can also buy tofu pups, which are hot dogs. I prefer my things to be labeled less cutesy things, like meatless sausage, or vegetarian sausage links. No tofurky for me. :) As to what fake turkey is called, it depends.

Sorry about that brutal meat-eating post I wrote earlier today. Sometimes I forget that some people might be offended by images of small animals being summarily dispatched and, later, consumed. Congrats on winning the turkey, too. Too bad it was probably treated poorly before it was killed, shirnkwrapped, and frozen. Farm-raised turkeys have the worst lives imaginable. My Dad and Grandpa often killed our own wild holiday birds out in the woods, so even though hunting is not pretty, at least we knew the bird we were eating had a happy life prior to its death.

I've never seen one in the grocery store before. What do you call a fake turkey? A Furkey? I’ve never seen one in the grocery store before.
