thanksgiving success

I'm happy to report that Thanksgiving Dinner was a great success. jenn and I were like a well-oiled machine in getting our low-key meal for four on the table. Jenn and the boys LOVED the tofurkey and are obviously glad that I'm not part of the competition for their special food. My stuffed squash was really good, though next time I could probably skip the squash and just eat the stuffing. I used Near East Rice Lentil Pilaf and added collards, walnuts and tofu to it. Very tasty!  My collection of raosted veggies (segregated because the vegetables for the rest of the family were basting in the juices of the gluteny tofurkey) were good too, though next time I will refrigerate the parsip (I've learned to treat it like a pale carrot, not like a potato) and to cut the beet pieces smaller or pre-cook them somehow. they were rather hard and tough. Still, a good time was had by all.
