The UnTurkey

I am so full right now, I can hardly breathe. I can't remember the last time I was this full. Being a veg...Thanksgiving isn't always the most exciting holiday. But I was determined to keep from filling my plate with just side dishes. Why must veggies suffer like this? No more! So today I made an UnTurkey...not a Tofurkey, but an UnTurkey. I had a Tofurkey last Christmas and it was really delicious. It didn't look very appetizing, but it was. So when I went to Whole Foods this week, I fully intended to buy another Tofurkey. But then I came across the UnTurkey. I had to try it...so I bought it and made it today. Um, yeah. Not so good. Pretty weak actually. It was way too spongy and too rosemary-ish. Yeah, not a fan.

Being off work is a strange feeling. Yesterday I left work at 1:15pm and I didn't know what to do with myself. It's so bizarre to see the light of day during the week. After working in a cube, under fluorescent lighting, for 11 hours a day, for a year and a half, you kind of forget what it's like to be out and about during the day, on a weekday. It's really quite an eye opening experience. So what did I do? I hung out with my sister and my nephew...we went to the mall...I took a nap. It was delightful! I gotta do this whole half day at work thing again.

It was a little embarassing yesterday at work though. I had to find a couple dvds for an exec...The Passion of the Christ and Elf. So I called Tower Records. They said they had them, I said great, and that was that. Flash forward 3 hours later, the messenger comes and plops 2 dvds onto my desk. What were they? The Passion of the Christ and...Alf: The Complete 1st Season. What? Are you kidding me? Alf?! Why would I want Alf?! Elf!!! Elf!!! How ricockulous is that?! Damn retainer...
