OK, I’m only gonna say it once (which is a flat-out lie, because I’ll say it again and again) – you have to write a cookbook. You do, Mary! I just love reading the way you write about food, about cooking, about how it fits into your life. Or doesn’t, at times! The soup recipe was phenomenal, made all the better by your comments and quips. The whole vegan experiment was amazing – I am a carnivore at heart, and even I was thinking it all sounded damned wonderful!

Please think about it. Because, of course, you have nothing better to do. !!!!

Love you so much – have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we’ll keep sending white light and prayers to your dad.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, Mary. We use Stove Top Stuffing too and add a bunch of our own goodies to it. Hope Rabbit is well enough to enjoy a bit of turkey on Thursday.

Such encouraging news on your Dad, I’m filled with hope.

Poor Rabbit… I hope she feels better soon. Two of mine are sick too -but at least I don’t have Thanksgiving to prepare for. On the other hand, Mother arrives TOMORROW for the second of her twice-yearly inspections. Can you hear the vacuum roaring?

And YAY on the house sale – that must be very satisfying.

I’m glad you have something constructive to work on – with mind and hands – while you’re going through such a tough time in your family. Chopping, roasting, stirring, and basting are so cathartic.

We are brining our turkey for the first time this year. Did you buy a brining mix from the store, or do you make your own? We bought a mix, but if I like it, I may try to be creative with my own herbs next year.
