I just want some meat free stuffing....I will not get it.

i'm in canada so we celebrated thanksgiving last month (on my bday no less)and i made a tofurky roast with mushroom sauce and roasted veggies (sweet potato, potato, carrot)
very traditional, predictable thanksgiving meal but i forking loved it

and what's this talk of sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows? wut

I'm in Canada as well, and because I live in residence and wasn't able to go home for Thanksgiving, I had no special Thanksgiving meal :(. I did go to Heartwood Cafe with my mom and brother when I came to visit a couple of days before Thanksgiving, and had scrambled tofu which was delicious, but not really Thanksgiving worthy.

Could you make and bring your own?

I think I just need a bowl of thyme. I'm good.

Brian, I think the PPk might need you like a shot needs to shoot (or like a pool needs a cue).

[if anyone here gets that reference without googling...I don't know if I want you to marry me or send you to an isalnd far, far away]

i've never eaten sweet potatoes with marshmallows. ever. i'm mildly intrigued, but i don't want them messing with my thanksgiving.

I went to google for images of the monstrosity and found a picture of someone cutting open a sweet potato and putting marshmallows on top. It looks like they had been baked that way.

Oh I know!

I like this thread.

Thursday I'm going to make dinner for my cancer-recovering,
cute as a button, almost-my-grandma Danish friend. I'm going
to roast vegetables (potato, carrot, pumpkin, onion) and make
a mushroom gravy, chickpea cutlets and brussel sprouts (?).

On the weekend, I'm going to make pumpkin bread.

Then, I'm flying home for 6 weeks & Thanksmas #2.

I always want to make a whole bunch of fancy stuff, but I end up just making my favorites: Tofurkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and whatever vegetable I have on hand that day.

Desdemona knows what's up with sweet potatoes!

I was oppressed on Canadian Thanksgiving (not given the day off, my boss said "what do Canadians have to be thankful for?") so I am taking back the day with American Thanksgiving. I want to try the Field Roast En Croute.

replace corn with stuffing and i'm there. (also, i always say that lotr bit about potatoes when i'm cooking them. i'm glad i'm not the only one.)

I say it over and over while MBM is doing the actual work and it drives her insane! It's a Thanksgiving (or anytime potatoes are used) tradition!

We are now having nothing but sweet potatoes with Dandies on top for Thanksgiving.

That's what I bought. I'm having it with mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted brussels sprouts, salad and apple pie. I think Brian might approve? But I'm also making the Vcon pumpkin ziti, so that might get me kicked out of this thread. :P

I've heard tales of sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top, but I don't think I've ever seen it in action. Eew.

Food twins!

That they're not Americans?

SCTV?

Universal healthcare!

DId your parents listen to that tape in the car over and over and over again in the late eighties, too? And because I liks you, marry me. DelectApple won't mind.

I'm having a fancy Thanksgiving dinner, even though I really do like Tofurky. But my parents made reservations at a nice restaurant that has a vegan menu (and my mother checked to make sure it was comprised of "real food"), so I'm probably eating some sort of risotto and cake.

D'oh!: Did I just violate the safe space?

Yes.

Do you hate me forever? Or, just for the next 3.5 hours?

Also, my ideal Thanksgiving dinner would be a mustard-and-tofurky slice sandwich. Simple *and* gross!

My family never makes the same thing and we've never had anything remotely close to American traditional thanksgiving food on that day, so I'm always a bit surprised when people are so adamant about having the same thing over and over.

Me and my sister still don't know what we are having. All we know is butternut squash soup with fried sage on top...which I'm excited about. I'm also going to whip up some nice cocktails. Maybe a roased pepper and eggplant salad.
