Tofurkey, anyone?
26 Nov
Well, I’m headed back to Appalachia for Thanksgiving. To all you Americans about to do anything remotely similar, please enjoy this opportunity to bask in the glow of our national habit of super-consumption! I know I will!
In that spirit, please enjoy these Thanksgiving wishes, from me to you.
No seriously, I like Thanksgiving because it’s mostly football and wine at our house, and my mom is an amazing cook (and rightfully proud of her “Katey Versions” of typical Thanksgiving fare. She’s been stockpiling vegetable broth for a month, I think. So exciting). But I don’t do Tofurkey, don’t worry, I’m not that crazy. I had a friend home with me once for this particular holiday, also veggie, and she brought one. It was probably one of those most awful things I’ve ever eaten in my life.
This trend of trying to make veggie products taste and look like meat is disturbing to me. I guess I see the point if you’re off the meat for health reasons, but some of us have a little PTSD here. (Just to deal with the questions now, no, I don’t care what you eat any more than you care what I eat. See how PETA makes me look like an asshole? RAWR!)
Speaking of PTSD, let’s hope my dad and the old boys have the deer processing operation in the garage cleaned up by the time I get there tonight. Wish me luck!

Awesome card. I wish I could (nap that is). Maybe I’ll try this year…
Good luck on the deer guts!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
You know, it really is a wonder whomever makes Tofurky stays in business – the opinion I’ve heard from my veg friends has unanimously been that it’s absolutely vile.
Well thank you for the kind wishes! I was lucky enough to get there AFTER the guts had been removed. For someone who writes a lot of bloody stuff, I’m awfully squeamish in real life.
Or maybe that’s WHY I’m squeamish in real life.
And Megh, yes. Gross.
Aaron, I hope you got your nap!
