| These little guys decorated my windowsill. |
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are all finished over here at Manriquez Manor, bellies puffed out pathetically like the zombie that ate Lori Grimes.
 |
| Oh, snap! Good one, Mom! Wait, I'm not allowed to watch Walking Dead... |
I spent two days cleaning and cooking, and the food was gobbled up in about ten minutes flat. Oh well... Isn't that the plight of all home cooks on Thanksgiving?
 |
| Blessed and thankful, indeed. |
This was my second all-vegan, 100% cooked-by-me Thanksgiving meal. My mom isn't vegan, but she went with the flow. However, she admitted that she didn't like the Tofurkey. It seemed like she enjoyed everything else though.
 |
| Today is also my mom's 64th birthday. Happy birthday, Mom! |
Here's what we feasted upon...
 |
| Tofurky with Roasted Veggies in Wild Mushroom Gravy |
 |
| "This Ain't Grandma's Sweet Potato Casserole" from Oh She Glows | |
 |
| Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob |
We also had mashed potatoes with brown gravy, whole cranberry sauce, jellied cranberry sauce, and ciabatta rolls (which got a little bit burnt - my bad).
 |
| Who burned these dang biscuits?! Mom!! |
|

Here's what Jason and I looked like
before we started stuffing our gullets...
 |
| Out 9th anniversary is on December 17th. Yay, us! And yay love! |
|
And here's what we looked like
after we gorged ourselves on Thanksgiving fare...
 |
| Insatiable! We've got the hunger for tofu-flesh. We can't be stopped!! |
After dinner we walked to the park and tried to make my Star Wars X-Wing fighter kite fly, but it was a dud.
I got a great workout, though! I need to (attempt to) fly kites more often. Running after this thing 800 times really got my heart rate up.
 |
| Fly, dammit. FLY!!! |
|
 |
| This is the most air I got out of the thing. |
 |
| Look how disappointed Jason looks, holding the dud kite. Poor fella. |
 |
| We didn't have turkey, but I sure ate "a bird" this Thanksgiving! |
|
|
I hope you all had a wonderful day! I am thankful for compassionate vegans, amazing vegan food, a fabulous family who loves me, beautiful North Texas, and YOU! Thanks for reading. You are appreciated.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
