Just finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.

Feeling very relaxed. Scrolling Mastodon while listening to Christie Moore. The back door is open and cool air is wafting in. I'm sipping a glass of icy cold pink Moscato. Nice.

For those following along at home*... I peeled all the prawns! Successfully!
First time in decades. Even I couldn't ruin that particular Christmas tradition.
*Husband (Official Prawn Peeler in Chief) had an operation on left hand 2 weeks ago and also (due to misadventure) now has the right wrist in plaster.
