It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and I don’t know whether to go ahead and cook the Tofurkey tonight or get up super early in the morning–we are going out of town to my sister-in-law’s to eat and if I don’t bring something vegan for the main course, I’ll be eating mostly raw vegetables and cranberry sauce. It’s really hard to be vegan on Thanksgiving if you aren’t doing all the cooking, you know? Lots of hidden butter and meat broth lurking. But I don’t expect people to change their eating patterns just because I’ve made certain life choices, so I’ve learned to plan ahead over the years. It’s more important to enjoy family, and I love them and am so lucky to have them. And luckily, Tofurkey is really good–a lot of people ate it along with their turkey.

There are a lot of small planes flying over today. I imagine the pilots are flying home to see their families, but it’s like a traffic jam in the skies. I hope nobody runs into anyone else!

I am playing “I Heart Thanksgiving” by Robert Lund. He is part of the Funny Music Project, aka The FuMP. From their website:

The FuMP quite simply is The Funny Music Project. We just thought The FuMP had a nice ring to it. Like the ringing a boxer hears after he’s been hit in the head one too many times.

The FuMP is a collaborative effort made up of a core group of comedy musicians. These are Devo Spice, Possible Oscar, Raymond and Scum, Rob Balder, Robert Lund and Spaff.com, Sudden Death, the great Luke Ski, Tom Smith, and Worm Quartet. These artists have committed to releasing new or unreleased recordings of their music to the public under a Creative Commons license. This means we promise not to be upset when a video of you lip syncing to our song in your underwear appears on YouTube.

Robert Lund’s music came from Music Alley from Mevio. I tell ya, if you happen to be a musician and you want your music played on a podcast, simply release one with a Thanksgiving theme. I only counted eight or so songs with Thanksgiving in the title.

NaPodPoMo 26 – Thanksgiving cooking with microwave accompaniment

I am recording in the kitchen while Dwight is nuking a potato. Why he started nuking a potato when he saw I was getting ready to record is beyond me, but you can hear it throughout the show. Anyway, I discuss safe vegan food I am bringing to my sister-in-laws and the fact that we need to go do early voting for the run-off election here in Georgia. It’s a short show. You can deal with the hum of the microwave and all the thumping around, I hope.

I meant to cook a Tofurky to take to Thanksgiving, but forgot to thaw it. Rats. Oh well, it isn’t that great anyway. I’ll save it for Christmas dinner.

I couldn’t record in my usual quieter place in the house due to the fact that Maia was watching a movie in there. That would have been even worse.
