Vegetarians, How Do You Do Thanksgiving?
This year is my first vegan Thanksgiving and my aunt, whose house I'm going to for the meal, is sort of put-off by it, I can tell. But, her sides are always amazing and delicious, and I am going to bring some mushroom gravy and maybe some Field Roast for my main dish. She makes an incredible apple pie - made with vegetable shortening and Earth Balance margarine - that is the best I have ever tasted, and I'm not a pie person so that's a saying something.

In addition I have:

-mirin
-hon tsuyu (a soup and sauce base)
-red curry paste
-anko (Japanese red bean paste)
-Patagonian dulce de leche (from a friend who visited Argentina)
-wasabi
The 10 Worst Food Trends? Really?
I completely agree with number 9 and 4 - Molecular Gastronomy and Foam! I went to wd-50 for a friend's birthday celebration about a year ago and it was a truly horrifying experience. I ordered the foie gras "gravel" (essentially foie gras that was freeze dried and then shattered with a hammer) and a fish dish and shared a dessert with the table. All of the dishes were too tiny for a proper meal and all covered in or accompanied with foam, I went home with a horrible stomach ache. My boyfriend and I both rolled on the bed feeling the pain of eating dishes of science experiments. I wanted to like wd-50 but I am sorry to say I can't and I won't.

A well-meaning friend of mine brought a bag of "gifts" for me when she asked me to be in her wedding. Among the heap of stuff in the bag was a jar of jalapeno pepper meat marinade with partially hydrogenated oil and garlic powder in the first five ingredients. I eventually dumped out the contents of the jar into the sink, knowing I wouldn't ever use it for flavoring and its smell was putrid, like something that could corrode metal. The smell hung around the house and it was heinous!
