Vaginal Freshness...Thanksgiving Tofurkies.


Dammit, every time I get on here I end up having to apologize for being so negligent lately re: my blogging duties. Well, my negligent days are about to come to an end. My multitude of part time jobs and/or training sessions are about to come to an end, and I should have tons more time on my hands. So watch out!
I did have time to whip up an amazing seitan turkey for Canadian Thanksgiving, which we celebrated recently... (If you call cramming in a quick meal together "celebrating"...)
________

I like to cook it in a juice can, cuz it makes it nice 'n pretty to slice and it keeps that damn stuffing inside where it belongs. I must say, this is likely one of my best recipes ever. It's my go-to recipe for every special occasion from here on out. Can't wait for Christmas...mmmmm....

In other news....we're getting a new cat! We visited him at the breeder last week. He's a purebred Maine Coon, and I must say, he's a very pretty boy. We bring him home on November 10th.

Now, I can already hear all the indignant muttering out there in Blogland...I should be giving a stray cat a home rather than supporting more cats to be bred, and so on and so forth. Yeah, I know, and I actually agree with you. If my husband were dead I would have gone straight from the funeral parlour to the local animal shelter. However, he is actually quite allergic to cats...just touching the one we have now gets hiseyes watering and his sinuses plugged.

But, hearing about these particular cats so entranced him he was willing to suffer a little in order to own one. They can grow to be up to 25 pounds, play fetch and love the water, just like a dog. Hubby wanted one with very specific colouring and markings, and we had our name on a list for over two years waiting for just the right cat (as per Hubby) to be born. So, I'll go along with this one because he's such a great husband and supports every crazy thing I want to do.

Now for a few random thoughts....Did you know that they know make a breath mint for your vagina? Absolutely true, you can buy them here. Personally, I say if you want to freshen up the ol' box you just pop in an Altoid or something.

Secondly, I just had an amazing product idea. I think they should make a Mr. Potato Head with interchangeable genitals, pasties, crotchless panties, etc. You could make yourself a tranny potato or a lap dancing potato! Fun times! My daughter thought I was being funny when I said this but I'm absolutely serious. Think of the fun you could have at a Bachellorette party!

Lastly...I was reading a blurb on the Huffington Post yesterday about the most ridiculous and wasteful consumer products of all time, and I discovered, for the first time ever, Handerpants.




Far from finding them ridiculous, I was entranced! This may just be the loopiest product of all time, and you know what that means! Yup, within five minutes I'd ordered a set for son for Christmas. Shhhh....don't tell him! There's nothing like that moment on Christmas morning when you're certain that Mom has finally gone off the deep end. Me loves that...:0)
Check back tomorrow for a very exciting (food related!) project that I'm working on, that means I'll be blogging ALMOST EVERY DAY for the next little while. Yup, you sure are lucky, I know.

I want to try that juice can recipe. I have 2 Maine Coons, which in my neck of the woods (central NY) can be found at the pound. They are incredible animals; extremely friendly, and convivial, and they really talk to you. Your kitten looks adorable and very sweet.

Hey Tracy ! Glad to hear you will be posting regularly again. I bought your cookbook and I regularly make the wild mac and cheese loaf (Nova Scotia thing I guess).... please post your stuffed turkey in a can recipe or charge me.....

Your husband realizes this is a living creature and not a pair of shoes right? Jesus christ, what an idiotic rationalization.

Kristin said...

Yes, please please post the recipe. And I'd pay too!

Tracy :
Just checked your ebook download and saw turkey in a can but you doubled it for the stuffed version.
So, Do you just do a single recipe, stuff it with the stuffing and cook the same way in the can for the same amount of time? Or are there some adjustments to be made. I have to repeat _ I LOVE the mac n cheese loaf :)
