Happy New Year.

I’m back, and I have a camera! I suffered the flu for the last week or so, and haven’t done much. I did manage to make a Tofurky Feast with friends, and that turned out great. We made the Tofurky surrounded with root vegetables (turnips, rutabagas, onions, garlic, parsnips) and soaking in a friend’s recipe for a red wine marinade (which I think was just red wine, balsamic vinegar, garlic pwd, minced ginger, and a few other things.), a wheat challah, mashed potatoes and the Giblet Gravy. For dessert we had left over pumpkin and berry pies, and a cherry Cheezecake. It was great. The only thing I have been able to eat lately is frozen fruit, crackers, and rice. Last night I made a bowl of rice with 2 tablespoons of raw garlic. It was awesome.
