Thanksgiving: Stockpiling
Can you believe that Thanksgiving day is so close? I can’t. It’s crept up on me.
I like Thanksgiving, as I am fond of being thankful, and also fond of cooking. But there is much advance work to be done, and I sure don’t want to have to brave Whole Foods on Wednesday. In that spirit I retrieved the Tofurkey today, and it’s sitting in the chest freezer along with a few pints of vegan gravy. More supplies will follow. Don’t tell anyone, but I’m really in it for the stuffing.
This seems like a good time to give a shout out to Mr. Gobbles, the MIT turkey. The article I linked to is a few years old, but he’s still wandering around the place, you know, being a turkey.
Brian is really fond of the tofurkey stuffing, too. We couldn’t find one for our September Thanksgiving so I had to make him wild rice stuffing.

Did you make the gravy? If so, what recipe? I’d like to make mine ahead before going to my aunt’s house - land of cheese/ham/chicken broth.

Mary, shamefully I bought it. It’s the Tofurkey stuff, which comes in pint containers. I have a few gravy recipes I like, but they more of “biscuits and gravy” gravy than something I’d feel empowered to pour over tofurkey or mashed potatoes.
