November 20, 2007thanksgiving in bits and piecesi've decided that rather than prepare a four or five course meal for two people on thursday, i'll just make a lot of autumn-y dishes this week and we can have leftovers all week long! i'm giddy just thinking about a thanksgiving without the oppressively huge midday meal and subsequent food coma. you might remember from my thanksgiving post that i'm not a fan of the processed fauxturkeys, but i will be making the tofurkey seitan from brian mccarthy's vegan family cookbook so that matt and i can make leftover sandwiches. you know leftover sandwiches: fauxturkey and vegenaise and gravy on one side, cranberry sauce on the other? why is that sandwich so good? more importantly, why don't more people put fruit on their sandwiches all year long? we definitely do it here at my house. sliced apples and pears make the best sandwich fixins! is it that obvious that i'm 38 weeks pregnant and need some distraction before i pull my hair out? week-long thanksgiving, hurrah!

Sounds like a great idea Joanna. A week of Thanksgiving food. Yum!
I agree with you about the sandwiches. It's the best part. Have you made Brian's Tofurkey before? I can't wait to hear how it is. I made Bryanna's tenderloin roast (from the ED DVD), and it's so good! I actually made 2 so we could have lots of sandwiches.
We've got to have dinner soon before you have the little one!
i haven't made the tofurky yet, but brian seems to be a wizard with his seitan, so i trust that it will turn out well.
yes yes! we have to have dinner. maybe sunday?
That is a great idea- and I'm a huge devotee of fruit in sandwiches. Yum. Ok, now you've got me craving thanksgiving leftover sandwiches...
That's brilliant. I've never understood why we force feed ourselves one day a year until we are so stuffed we can hardly walk. It's not like we are famished the rest of the year. I think spreading it out would be fun, and do us all a lot of good.
Ok, that sandwich idea sound brilliant. BRILLIANT!
