Only two more days left! 

Ah, Turkey Day (and, um, Tofu Day for vegetarians?) is almost upon us. There’s nothing better than a holiday that revolves around giving thanks by preparing a giant, dead bird and eating it. Even my husband, who’s South African, thinks Thanksgiving is pretty rad (but then again, he thinks ostrich meat is a food group). Have a happy kicking-back, eating, and zoning out to you all!
