A very successful Thanksgiving! Ate a lot of good homemade food and still had enough to energy to clean up. I started cooking the night before and into the morning, I didn't get to bed til 7 a.m. My sleeping pattern is so strange, in constant change! My family opted for a "seafood themed" Thanksgiving rather your traditional turkey and candied yams. I made up some tofu/cabbage lumpia, mashed potatoes with gravy, vegan potato salad, hermit cookies with raisins and my Mom made beef lumpia, shrimp gumbas, pasta salad, wild rice stuffed portobello mushrooms, macaroni and cheese shells, sweet potato pie and chocolate chip cookies... I don't know if you would really call this a seafood themed food gathering but more cultural - satisfyingly delicious nonetheless!! I am really looking forward to sleeping tonight. I feel so deprived yet alert and active. Hope you all had a nice evening!!
