Thanksgiving at DEFCON One

I just put my vegan pumpkin pies in the oven. These are obscenely easy to make, because it's just blending the tofu smooth and adding it to canned pumpkin pie filling. Years ago, I made my pies completely from scratch, and when the Hubs went vegan, I substituted the tofu for the eggs and the milk, and I bought Kosher frozen piecrusts because they don't use butter or other animal shortening. Then one year I got this fabulous pie filling, so I started using that, and didn't add my own spices and stuff. But this year, it wasn't blending well, couldn't figure it out. I had to re-blend and re-mix a couple of times to get it smooth. Then when I was cleaning up, I noticed that I hadn't gotten pumpkin pie mix, just canned pumpkin. So, oops. Surprise!

Otherwise it's going well, and I just talked to my sist4er and it's going well there, too. I did stay home today, slept until 7:30 and did my workout, and then ran around doing things I needed to do. I did get a lamp at Target. (We do have a Lowe's nearby, but it's so new, that I always forget it's there.)

My living room is neat, my kitchen is neat, my pies, such as they are, are in the oven, and since I got a fresh turkey, I don't even have to worry about defrosting. I've also done a lot of gift ordering today; my email inbox looks like an endless list of "Amazon has received your order!"

Well, it smells good, anyway. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, one and all, and don't forget to thank someone.
