Thanksgiving part. 1

Thanksgiving is next week. I'm particularly excited because I have no classes all week.

And since Thanksgiving as we celebrate it is only done in the U.S. (remember the pilgrims and the Native Americans?), this doesn't actually have much to do with Jane Austen. A few years ago I worked for a bookstore chain which sent me to help open a store in Australia. I supervised the children's section for that opening. I knew enough not to ask why there were no books on Thanksgiving. Instead, I asked where all the books on Halloween were because I wanted to set up a display. They had a good laugh at my expense. Evidently (at least at the time) they don't celebrate it much either.

Anyway, I'm usually on the lookout for something I can actually cook to take with me over the river and to Grandma's house (not my Grandma, but she's still a Grandma). I think I may have found something I can make.  They call it vegan but use chocolate chips. I think they would have to be carob chips to makes these vegan. But since I haven't gone completely vegan....
