...11.30...Thanksgiving Update...

...we got up at 5 AM for the drive up to the mountains...

...as it got daylight about 7-ish...it was still raining...

...but the rain stopped about the time the mountains came into view...

...the first thing we saw when we got to Mom's was this small herd of deer in the bottoms...

...I went out onto the porch to take my usual photo...but the mountain across the river was under a cloud...

...so I went back in to try and unmold the mousse that I'd made Tuesday with Julia...

...I dipped it into a bowl of hot water and it unmolded beautifully...

...and I put it on Mom's pretty table with all of the November Birthday pressies and cards that I'd brought...

...we got to cooking...this is Bryanna's Breast of Tofu...I kept taking it out and spooning the marinade over the top...

...at some point in the morning the clouds had lifted a bit and we could see across the river...

...we made some vegan gravy with Washington's broth...

...and the breast of tofu was done...

...and the vegan dressing as well...

...so then I assembled the vegan Ambrosia salad just before everyone started to arrive for lunch...

...it turned out pretty perfectly...

...a photo of the ladies...

...and my overstuffed (as usual) vegan plate of Thanksgiving goodness...

~Have a lovely weekend!
