turkeyless

When I was eight or nine, we were having Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents’ house. My grandmother would not be serving a turkey that year, instead there would be ham.

I was horrified that there would not be turkey. I’m pretty sure there was A LOT of complaining. How could you have a Thanksgiving without turkey?

To appease the irritated child, we had a non-traditional turkey instead.
See photo: me with ice cream cake, circa 1983 or 1984. I don’t know why I was wearing a suit.

Nowadays, I’m a vegetarian, and have been enjoying Tofurky feasts for years!

  1. tofurky… wow I’ve never heard of it! Pretty cool name but wouldn’t it be too much tofu? I guess I’m biased by being canine, but I like tofu – in small quantities!
