Thanksgiving

This year was the first year that I didn't participate in any festivities. Lucky worked, I stayed home and cleaned the house, and made a nice dinner. No parties, no family, no crazy over-eating. It was pretty great. Here's the menu I made for Lucky and myself:

Appetizer: Savory sausage-stuffed mushrooms (vegan) with balsamic reduction

Main Dish: Sweet stuffed Acorn squash with black currants and almonds.

Side: Garlic mashed golden potatoes with mushroom gravy.

Dessert: Apple Orange-Cranberry Pie with Vanilla ice cream.

Not a single turkey was harmed, and those stuffed squash beat out boring turkey any day.

I am thankful for the ability to make my own traditions.
