We spent Thanksgiving 2008 much like Thanksgiving 2007, at a potluck gathering at Ecology House in San Rafael, California. Ecology House is the only HUD (US Government) low-income housing for people disabled with chemical sensitivities. It has 11 apartments and a community room where residents host events, meetings, and parties. The Environmental Health Network holds its monthly meetings there and they sponsor Thanksgiving, buying the turkey and other basics.
I’m afraid I was boring this year and brought exactly the same things I brought last year. But, hey, why mess with success? Every dish was popular. I picked some lovely greenery from my garden to put in vases and brought the following dishes:
|
|
Organic cranberry sauce made with lemon instead of orange. |
 Edamane salad with roasted red cabbage |
Organic cold salad made with edamame and roasted red cabbage. |
 Pumpkin Pie |
Organic vegan gluten-free pumpkin pie. |
 Cashew cream |
Organic raw vegan cream made from cashews, lemon, stevia, and seasonings. |
