Recipes, mostly

I had a nice Thanksgiving. My coworker and his girlfriend held a vegan Thanksgiving at their place. drujan came with me, and several of my coworker's friends were there as well. The meal was at about 6, and then we hung out chatting and drinking coffee/eating desserts until around 1:30 am. It was fun.

My coworker and his girlfriend cooked everything from scratch. I thought it turned out really well; they even made a homemade tofu turkey, which was about a million times better than the storebought types. Even drujan liked it, and she was very skeptical of the whole vegan thing. And everything else was great--salad, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, veggies, etc. I brought desserts: two pies (pecan and shoofly) and brownies. I was happy with how they turned out; the pecan was particularly popular.

The weekend was less fun; I visited my parents. But I'm repressing, so not going to talk about that.

claudia_yvr asked for my vegan pecan pie recipe a while ago, but I'm just now getting to it. Sorry for being so slow. (I'm also anywhere from a couple weeks to several months behind on my email, btw. If you're waiting for a response from me on something, don't worry, it's not personal, just me being slow, and I'm sorry.)

There's a bunch of other pie recipes, if anyone is interested. I don't mind typing them up if you have a specific request. There's also cakes, cookies, etc.

All of these are from the book Simply Heavenly! The Monastery Vegetarian Cookbook by Abbot George Burke, which is sadly out of print. If anyone has a clue as to how I could get in touch with the author, let me know. The publishing company where I work would love to republish it, if we could find the guy.
