After discovering the unturkey recipe a few years ago, we created one for our vegan friends thanksgiving dinner and took notes in 2007 and 2008.

Here is how the 2010 bake went.

What do you do when your local co-op seems to stop carrying your favorite (and only) vegan pop tarts?

If you're Jill, you order a whole case from Amazon.

We head they were relocating the Turkeys, and we haven't seen them for quite a while. After walking the dogs we found them on the end of our street this morning. Yay!

We visited Portland this weekend. Vegan options everywhere. Dog friendly everything. Bike friendly streets. Apparently cheap compared to here. Everyone seemed friendly. Did I mention the vegan stuff?

Jill saw a flock of about 20 females and 3 males just a few doors down this
morning. Apparently the males didn't like her being there and started to
aproach. I wish I could get her to take the video cam down there, but she
didn't want to create an embarrassing scene of turkeys chasing her down the
street.

Well, the unturkey came out great! Getting it to unroll will take a bit of tweaking. Jill says we won't use that stuffing recipe next time. We used her own gravy recipe too.

Upon discovering the unturkey recipe we decided to create one for our vegan friends thanksgiving dinner. It turned out quite well. We had 8 people and a ton of leftover turkey. I can't wait to modify the recipe and make a bunch of little unchickens for the freezer. Here's how it we did it.

We're not having a traditional dinner today, we usually don't. We've celebrated thanksgiving on the weekend afterwards with friends; vegan, vegetarian, and otherwise for years. The tradition started when we were in college. Additionally my birthday sometimes falls on thanksgiving and Jill's follows soon after so it also makes for a time-saving triple combo.
