Happy Thanksgiving!

Ahh Thanksgiving. The day where you know you are not the only one spending the whole day in the kitchen slaving away. That millions of others are doing the same thing at that same precise moment. A moment of unity...well sort of. My day wasn't focused on what to make surrounding a once alive and beautiful turkey. I've been reading some blogs lately and thought about adopting a turkey. Money is really tight right now though but maybe soon.... In the mean time here are some pics of what I've made for lunch today, well actually made yesterday but you know what I mean. I didn't make too much because we always go in my in-laws for Thanksgiving. I just bring enough food for myself and some to share.

Roasted Garlic mashed potatoes with fresh oregano and fresh rosemary




Vegan Mac and Cheese with fresh spinach, chopped carrots and meatless beef ( which I forgot to add when I took this pic)



Pumpkin cranberry nut bread. One with chopped pecans and the other with chopped walnuts.




Here is a pic of one my cats.
Osugimasu basking in the sun. Check out how twisted her body is!





Did you know that according to National Geographic Thanksgiving Day became a national holiday in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln? And according to this website Hogue News Lincoln appointed it the last Thursday of the month of November while President Franklin D. Roosevelt made it the 4th Thursday of the month since there can also be 5 Thursdays in the month.
