Tea Time: All's Well That's Dragon Well
This is a lovely article about a lovely tea. Long Jing is really a very unique tea. Very savory and perfect with a meal or for those who prefer savory flavors to sweet or floral ones. I find that teavivre.com sells an excellent Long Jing.
The Food Lab Answers Thanksgiving Questions: On Turkey, Non-Turkey Mains, Gravy
MerMei - You're welcome! People with special diets always have extra stress on Thanksgiving so I'm only too glad to help out. And I agree about the starchy foods. I think vegetarians generally eat too much starch anyway. If you have to have a veggie main, I wouldn't want it to be yet another starch. Personally, I'd marinate and sear up a nice piece of tofu and top it with mushroom gravy, but I understand that some people aren't too fond of that gelatinous soy blob.
Good luck!
Thanksgivings Ideas -Pescatarian
Here's something that will be good for vegetarians, pescatarians, or religiously restricted diets...vegan meatloaf. It's better than it sounds.
This link will allow you to design your own loaf depending on your preferences and pantry:

You get to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. And you can make it ahead and just pop it in the oven whenever.
I'm a pescatarian too and I'm perfectly happy not having any meat, fish or otherwise, but if you must have protein, give this a try.
