Thanksgiving came and went, and I was only able to make it to 20, on my list of things I am thankful for. I did spend my three days off in a general mood of thankfulness. (Mostly thankful for three days off.) It was also good to spend time with the family, and neighbors and eat a ton of good food.

I started my day off with peppermint flavored coffee with peppermint flavered whip cream and peppermint flavoted  pink marshmallows on top. This was a very decadent morning drink, made even more wonderful when I added peppermint schnapps! 

 My Tofurky roast before I cooked it. I though it looked very pretty, although I was uncertain about how it would taste at this point. 

As the Tofurky was cooking I made fruit kebabs, sliced apples and dip, The dip was a mix of marshmallow puff mix and cream cheese, and is delicious! The fruit kebab/marshmallow mix is quickly becoming one of my favorite dished to make and contribute to a get together or pot luck. 

This is the chocolate cake that came with the Tofurky dinner; I just added some powdered sugar over the top and sliced it in to little pieces. 

Once my Tofurky was cooked I sliced it and added the gravy. At this point I couldn't resist trying some, and found it to be tasty. It sure looked good, and even the meet eaters in the group tried a bit and agreed. 

This was our Thanksgiving spread, minus the quiche I made because I forgot it in the stove. The turkey potato salad were made by my mother, and our neighbor brought us the home grown carrots, homemade pickles, and home smoked locally caught salmon. We also had cooked winter squash and hummus. 

 We also got to try the Rogue Brewery bacon maple ale and a pumpkin spiced ale, and enjoyed them both quite a bit. I loved the pink bottle that the bacon maple ale came in. 

(No, its not a vegetarian friendly drink I recognized that it might not be the beer of choice for most people avoiding meat.)
