200th Post


Wow, 200 posts in just over 2 years!!! Seems like just yesterday I started this silly thing.


I had a gluttonous weekend and filled myself not once but twice with Japanese food and of course a few pints of Stella. Needless to say Sunday was a rather lazy day as I was nursing a sore noggin and trying to rehydrate myself. I spent many hours working towards goal # 73 (to finish the 1st 3 seasons of LOST). IE I sat on my couch allllll day long!!!


For the Canucks it's Thanksgiving which means an extra day off of work which is always lovely. We're not really having a dinner per se as my parents are away and I don't eat meat.....so really I see no point. I was invited to a few meals which I declined due to my throbbing head, however a friend stopped by with not one, but three pieces of pie that she made; So I was able to have some pumpkin pie which is very Thanksgivingish.




I was hoping to try a tofurkey this year.....yes folks, a fake turkey made out of tofu. They have always piqued my interest however I have never actually tried one. If we do end up having some type of Thanksgiving dinner in the coming weeks, I will search high and low for one as I find they are rather hard to come by in my neck of the woods (I've only seen one). I find anything smothered in veggie gravy to be delightful so I imagine it will taste better than it looks. I doubt anyone else in my family will touch the thing and will most likely mock me so I will probably be eating tofurkey well into November!!


I plan to spend my extra day off cleaning, exciting I know but unfortunately it is a necessary evil. I don't just mean tidying up & dusting but more along the lines of gut out my closet, under the bed, find stuff to freecycle type of cleaning. Wish me luck!!

Congratulations on your 200th, which is a hell of an accomplishment as most blogs fold within a few months of getting started.

As for the Tofurkey, you might as well cover a cardboard box with gravy and eat it - the taste is roughly equivalent. Ha.

Is the stuffing normal or is it made out of tofu too? I would at least try a bite...

Big Ben said...

I bet there is one type of meat that you eat!

Miss Ash said...

I have tried. It was horrible. And I like most things. It made me sick to my stomach.
