my thanksgiving dinner
Here is a video that I shot on Thanskgiving day! In it, you'll see me picking some sage from my yard. I'm not positive that sage doesn't need water after a year, but the idea is that once established and happy, sage hardly needs any water. So it's a major water saver!
The "Amazing Grace" scene makes me laugh, because I've never sung the song before, so I didn't know the words! Our singing was quite pathetic, but it was fun!
And you can check out the blog I wrote about that night here, that has some more photos of the evening.

French_Momma, Xica -- I wondered too! There's a... something... I hate to pry but I do feel a friendly curiosity, which I imagine Alicia will assuage for us (or not!) whenever she likes. :)
-
French_Momma I also noticed this subtle difference in Alicia. I wonder if there is any news to share!!!! ;)

Alicia you always have such a beautiful glow, but... this time there seems to be a subtle difference. a softness or quietness about you- do you have some news to share???

You should invite all of us and see how we eat. After that we might not eat for the rest of the year. lol.

I adore your candid video! So sweet of you for sharing. Here's a suggestion for next year: after the last vegan dinner I served my family, I announced that the men would clean up and the women would enjoy some coffee in the living room. Everyone on both sides of the gender line were shocked! I've really noticed that around the world, the men get to smoke cigars or whatever after a meal, while the women (yes, usually cheerfully) clean up. Well this time, the men cheerfully cleaned up (and did a perfect job) and we women got to sit back and relax. Not one complaint and I think everyone felt good about it. Maybe next time, we'll pull straws and mix it up.

Thank you so much for this blog Alicia! Seeing an entire family share a vegan Thanksgiving is so inspiring. I was sitting eating lunch with my workmates and friends when they all started talking about their favourite meat. It made me so sad, but I knew I could come home and be with all of the lovely vegans. Kudos to any flirts out there! Flirting is great for your health and the environment and you never know what will evolve over time.

Alicia, you're too cute! Your sage bush is AMAZING. I want one. The decor and the food looked lovely. Thanks for sharing. So glad you had a nice holiday. Best wishes for 2011!!!
-
You have the cutest family and they all looked very full of yummy food. God bless you this new year and the next years too.

That was really fun to watch and made me feel great for using my own sage (even in Illinois the sage was still alive). I also made Alicia's Thanksgiving Tofu from her book, which turned out awesome and not hard to make. Next year I'll try making some of the pies. Happy New Year! Mary www.marylovesdogs.com

Thank you for creating the Kind Life website! My step-daughter Ananda (who has been a vegan for a long time now) made your vegan pumpkin pie recipe for our first all-vegan Thanksgiving lunch and we all loved it! Our whole family is vegetarian but now we are taking it to the next level! I can't wait to try the pecan pie recipe next! Your book and website are very inspiring!
