Thanksgivegan



Although I don’t agree with how Thanksgiving first came about with all the murdering and pillaging of the natives and I think that should foremost be acknowledged- I do agree with what it’s turned into; the coming together of family/friends over a nice meal. This will be my first vegan Thanksgiving so I want to give thanks to all the foods I’ll be missing this year- 

Thank you Turkey- dark meat only
Thank you green bean casserole
Thank you marshmallows with sweet potatoes
Thank you gravy
Thank you buttery, milky, delicious breads and potatoes and pies!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!


So what exactly am I going to eat for Thanksgiving this year you ask? My boyfriend, sister and her boyfriend are all attending a Vegan Thanksgiving hosted by the Triangle Vegetarian Society of North Carolina!  This is a buffet of all Vegan dishes that you can gorge yourself on for hours!  The menu isn’t what I’m used to in regard to Thanksgiving past, but my mouth is already watering looking at what will be filling my plate(s).


On top of all this deliciousness and the fact that we don’t have to clean 1 goddamn dish, I’m going to now boast what we are doing for Black Friday. Although it does deal with over consumption (a no-no in the Albini/Whitmore realm), it’s ALL local and, more importantly, necessary. 



Sorry to put my awesome weekend on blast, but I’m completely excited about this weekend, not only to see my sister, but to do some new amazing things with the people I love most. T-12hours until take off
