Tofurkey

From a previous post astute readers of the blog know that I bought us the 'Tofurkey Feast' at Oryana. Today was the day to make it.
Following the instructions I let the Tofurkey and Gravy thaw for at least 24 hours. I put it in the fridge yesterday. We decided to have our food more around lunchtime instead of dinnertime, so I began the process to create the feast.
Here we see the Tofurkey with me in the photo for size reference.
Next to a bombed out Mr. Potato Head.
The feast, with fixings of one onion, chopped & quartered, two carrots, cut in two and chopped into 2" wedges, and two potatoes, halved and quartered.
Gravyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Gravyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
In the oven.
The dumplings. Which were sort of gross.
The completed Tofurkey roast, made darker by the glaze/sauce that I made for it. It wasn't fancy, olive oil, soy sauce & sage.
The smashed potatoes.
Gravy: with and without giblets.
Jack, eating at the big table. Over Jack's shoulder you can see our speckled carpet.

So this is what now? Not a bird but a block of soy protein? I'll buy that.

Kissyface...
The meal was a success as Jack did eat quite a bit.
Here we are.

Help! The hairy man is passing out!
There he goes. 

After I was dunked in cold water to wake up I ambled off to the bedroom for a quick nap. I took this photo of Debbie with the kids.
Huzzah! Hee Haw is on Mom! Sing me those songs you like to sing!
Maybe later Jack, maybe later.

Fare thee well Maternity Coat. Your memory lives on.
