i give my thanksgiving to real heroes

This year, ive decided to give out my thanksgivings to some real heroes: the police, commandoes, anti-terrorist squad and soldiers of India.



Men like Hemant Karkare gave their lives to stop what can only be described as chaos in Mumbai while we all sat around and ate our Tofurkey dinners.

what is this world coming to...

thanksgiving dinner

well its that time of year that we all gather with our families to celebrate the exploitation of the native american people and the stealing and misuse of their land by slaughtering and eating millions of majestic (albeit dumb) land birds.... but i digress...


thanksgiving isnt about the holiday, its about the food, no really its about family,
thats what they say, but if you are going to celebrate it here are a few awesome
cruelty free ways to enjoy your dinner!

my favorite is

Quorn Turk'y Roast

its so good and if you cook it right and serve it correctly, no one would ever know its not real flesh

the Tofurkey Meal is pretty good too


in fact, i suggest both, for variety!

here are some nutritional facts on the difference between Tofurkey and real dead Turkies
regardless of which you might think is better for YOU, the Tofurkey is better for the bird!

and whatever you do, dont forget an extra container of
Tofurkey Giblet and Mushroom Gravy


its the perfect topper to any holiday feast and it can all be gotten for a few bucks down at your local Whole Foods market!

all i want for christmas is....

thought i would just put this out there for all of my wonderful friends who like to buy me stuff for the holidays :)

some things i want...

since my several year old crappy Dell mp3 player started acting up, i guess i need a new one...
im lookin at a few, (anything i get has to at least have 16 gig and a color screen for video and im really leaning toward somethin with WiFi so i can check email etc with it!!!)
but i like this one the best (the IPOD may actually be winning out atm)
the Creative Zen X-Fi


though since amanda already had itunes on the computer, i suppose i would settle for an
IPOD touch (even though you know im not an apple fan...)

i like the ipod touch cause it has web and email capabilities!


some other fun stuff id like ...


Kill Dr Lucky board game


the Settlers of Catan board game


Deadwood tv series, there are 3 seasons available of this killer HBO series, great great show!
