A friend said, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday here – it’s the ONLY truly American holiday really. As immigrants, we all find this American celebration to be truly special. While many complain how they do not like the taste of turkey, etc. I have come to think that perhaps it’s just not cooked correctly. AND having had a vegan Thanksgiving cooked up by Vocal Vegans, there’s something for everyone on the table. It’s a celebration for all on this land. It celebrates the hardship people endured on the new land; it celebrates the fruits of such labor in a form of a harvest; it’s about sharing; it’s about putting aside differences and coming together. I love this holiday too … it’s about friendship between white people and the native Indians; and about sharing for the common good and … PEACE.<\/p>\n

So happy RSVP’ed YES to this beautiful celebration with beautiful people. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThank you to our beautiful hosts. Thank you for your generosity. Most of all for your friendship.   <\/p>\n

\nThe best crusty buttery golden rice and saffron infused rice tossed with special berries.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo pretty. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spinach +Salad we brought.  Sadly avocados turned color but initially they were beautiful green:)<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nStuffing , sweet potatoes, rice and … and mashed potatoes too !?  Oh my goodness.  Oh my goddess ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd oh did someone say dessert?  Pies?! I actually had to pass at first but … broke down for a slice of cherry pie after quite a bit of belly rub!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIn Gratitude.  Thank you to the beautiful chef and hostess extraordinaire. Thank you for adding in the European and Middle Eastern flair while serving up a very traditional American Thanksgiving feast. I always learn so much from other cultures and appreciate sharing the stories we each have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
