Now Nim is slightly favoring his rear foot again (darn pad). But gosh what a beautiful morning. We were up so early I had to fight not going to bed by 2pm that afternoon.
I got invited to a party today which should be fun. Normally I am a bit of a homebody on Thanksgiving and that works just fine, but this sounds like an easy group.
I made PPK Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies for the party. I subbed chocolate chips for raisins and other than that I don't think I changed the recipe at all. They are a bit light on the sugar because I ran out and I refused to go to the store yesterday afternoon. Although the hummingbird protest outside my window right now may necessitate a trip today.
I needed to bake them about 2 minutes less than the recipe called for and they are really much better after completely cooling or the second day.
I am also bringing Kite Hill White Alder Cheese. Vegan cheese that is. I don't even know where to begin about this stuff. Let's just say I am stunned. This is a rare party in which I am not the only vegan but I also plan on trying to get the non-vegans to eat it and give me their opinions. I was never a cheese connoisseur when I ate the real stuff, so I am hardly one to judge, but I found the White Alder really good!
Have a great day.
Have a WONDERFUL thanksgiving!!!!!

Thanks Jan!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and Nim. Do you seriously have hummingbirds? We have been visited by a few bluebirds which is a bit unusual for us. When we see them we put out our dried meal worms and they thanked us today.

I do! And more and more for my area it is recommended we feed year around so this year I am going to try and do that. It is not longer believed to mess up migration or anything like that. I think some of the types migrate and some stay around. I will see how this goes. I think I know what tree they are living in. I also have my wrens back over the door. Sam
DeleteHope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWe did. :)
DeleteHope your Thanksgiving was amazing! I have never tried that cheese.... I need to look into it!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think. The dairy-eaters in the group had no real complaints. What they did say is that it wasn't salty enough, which I found interesting because a lot of vegans say it was too salty. The non-vegans were pairing it with smoked salmon...lol. And eating it without issue.
