I’m soooo insanely grateful for every single person on this site.  And especially to all of you who read this book and are trying this way of life out for the first time.  Also, I am so thankful for the flirts!  I want to make sure that I didn’t hurt any flirts feelings when I posted all of my Thanksgiving blogs.... just in case?

I would love to hear from more of you flirts!  How much flirting are we all doing, and how does it feel?  Do you flirts feel supported here on this site?  If not, is there anything that I can do, or we can do as a community, to help you guys out?  I really want everyone, especially flirts, to feel super comfy here... And to know how much I appreciate all of you!  It just means so much to me that people who had never even thought about going veg before are coming into these conversations, and getting closer to the plant based lifestyle.  So if you are a flirt, please don’t hesitate to ask questions!  I want to do all that I can to help and support you!

So, with that said, I wanted to share what I ended up doing on Thanksgiving, and show you guys some photos.  I had such a nice Thanksgiving.  In the morning, I started packing up for New York, and then Christopher and I went to our friend Nina & Leisha’s house.  Nina’s mom came too, so it was just the 5 of us. 

 First, we all went to see the new Wes Anderson movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox.  We snuck tangerine cocktails into the movie. My husband packed them in a bag with glasses and ice and everything, It was great!  We used tangerines from the farmer’s market, a little bit of lime, a little agave and a little vodka.  Yum!  They were very eco and delicious.  All the girls had a cocktail... Christopher doesn’t drink so he was our bartender!  After the movie he took a little nap at Nina and Leisha’s!

Then we had a HUGE feast.  I ate so much, I felt and looked like I was carrying a 5 month old child in my belly!  Even vegans can over do it on Thanksgiving if they want to! I was definitely not a Superhero at all that night!

Christopher and I brought a Chocolate Pecan Pie and some Blood Orange Cranberry sauce from FoodInk Catering.  Nina and Leisha picked up food from M Café, and I have to say it was so delicious.  Nina is a cooking genius, and oiled up the “turkey slices” and “stuffing” and baked all of it.  The stuffing was amazing, and the “turkey” tasted great, and looked a lot like real turkey... Except not in a gross way. 

The girls made yams, which were insane.  They just took yams, and added salt, pepper, and oil...that's it! 

So yummy.  The mashed potatoes, gravy and salad from M Café were delicious.  The salad had a kind of "cheese" on it, and this yummy dressing.  The dinner was a huge success! 

We ate.... then we ate more.... and then we watched the Woody Allen film, Crimes and Misdemeanors.  Finally, Christopher and I rolled ourselves out the door and drove home...

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Holidays.  I’m in New York now for my play.  Today was the first day of rehearsal.  

I hope you all had a yummy, fun filled Thanksgiving too!  Let me know what you did, what you ate, and how it all turned out!
