Midway through my low-fat Pear Right-Side-Up Cake (to be posted tomorrow in my Thanksgiving Desserts post), I was wrist deep in perfectly mandolin-sliced pears when - slash! Sliced my finger. Lovely. And ouch. I bandaged my finger.

After all the recommendations I read about this espresso machine, I was disappointed. I liked some of basic style of the machine, but it did not make as strong of espresso that I prefer for a latte. It had a manual on/off for pulling a shot and even doubling the volume still left it weak flavor.

Traditionally when people think of vegan protein on Thanksgiving four things come to mind: Tofurky, tofu, tempeh and seitan. But I wanted to kick off my "main dish proteins" recipes with a nontraditional vegan protein: quinoa.

Tired of Tofurky? Try my protein-rich Vegan Pumpkin Platter which features my Pumpkin-Pecan Crusted Tempeh and Pumpkin-Almond Crusted Tofu. Also included on this festive platter: Golden Orchard Quinoa dome,

Wanted: "main dish protein" at my vegan Thanksgiving feast.

My no-Tofurky policy stands firm. I'm not against the cliche vegetarian turkey-substitute, but after a few Thanksgiving's of Tofurky-disappointment, I've moved on.

What is correct word from this words line? Beaucop D’or, or Bocuse Dor, or Beaucopus D’or? The right is BOCUSE D’OR. Chef Paul Bocuse is main host of this competition.

Norway Wins the Bocuse d’Or Competition, reported by Nytimes.com. 2009 Bocuse d’Or Competition was played in two days.

Mesothelioma is a cancer associated with mesotelium, the membrane that surrounds internal Organs of the human body. Every person diagnosed with Mesothelioma disease may be very worried and do not know how to deal with this disease,

There it sat in my lonely fruit bowl. A beautiful bright crimson-pink pomegranate. It had been sitting there for a week now, watching the other fruit, bananas, kiwis, apples, mandarins and papayas come and go. "But plucking pomegranates is such a pain!" I protested.

Don't forget the veggies this Thanksgiving! I know you are craving that decadent once-a-year stuffing, some rice cream topped pumpkin pie and that tart tingle of cranberry sauce hitting your taste buds. And you'll probably be spending a lot of 'kitchen energy' on whatever vegan "main course" you plan on making. But don't shuv the veggies in the corner!

Sometimes there is only one thing capable of cheering me up and that is an afternoon of uninterrupted cooking. Since I twigged that I can have a go at making Sichuan food at home (duh), rarely a week has passed when I’ve not been drawn to its hot, numbing intensity.

Spicy. Creamy. Layers and layers of three types of thinly sliced potatoes. My vegan Triple Spiced Creamy Potatoes Au Gratin is a home style comfort-food recipe with some serious snob appeal. Potatoes gone chic.

Good things come to those who wait. Patiently. How was your weekend my foodie friends? Mine consisted of just enough Venti soy extra hot chai lattes, maple-almond buttered bagels, red papaya bowls, cranberry sauce making and fuyu persimmon buying. I made a huge shopping trip to Trader Joe's to buy just enough fuyu persimmons to make the cashier look at me funny. I bought twelve. They were only $2.99 for 4. That's quite the deal in my neck of the woods.

I love cranberry sauce. It's a must-have dish at any Thanksgiving table. Those bright perky red cranberries bring a hint of sweet-tart zing to anything on your plate.
