Secondly, this is my first year to be Vegan. It's difficult because I have wonderful traditions that were made when my mother was alive and that I have tried to hold onto dearly over the years. It's my way to feel close to her. While I won't be cooking my famous dressing and loaded mash potatoes, I will get to have a Vegan version of Thanksgiving which won't be the same but will be be tasty I'm sure. I imagine I will look back on this post a year from now and would have moved on to a happier state and ready to dhow my Vegan Thanksgiving who's boss! My Husband told me that he's having a Chinese dinner for a Thanksgiving since the next day he can go to his sisters and eat a Thanksgiving meal. He knows tgat I will not allow a turkey to be cooked in my household. I have secured an order of Vegan Thanksgiving prepared by Whole Foods. Looking forward to trying it, I pick it up today.
Thirdly , it kills me how many animals are killed for tomorrow. Millions! This just makes me a hot mess when I think about it. How can someone be so compassionate-less?
We did adopt Tom the Turkey for Thanksgiving. He is so stinking handsome! He fell off a truck on the way to slaughter. I have invluded a picture of him. We adopted him through Farm Sanctuary and I just love that place and all it stands for.
I was hoping that by me adopting a turkey, it would resonate something within for my family (Husbsnd included) but it hasn't and I am so sad for that. Poor animals!
