Un-Turkey Hunt

ByPamela Wood Browne

unturkeyYesterday, Neil and I went on our seasonal unturkey hunt venturing deep into the wilds of Torrance, California. The coveted unturkey has been increasingly scarce in these parts. It has been our holiday tradition to have one and since I first discovered them at Trader Joe’s. We were immediately hooked and even when we had to start paying twice as much for them at the natural food stores, we had to have them. We have friends who make fun of us for having an unturkey, but we remain unphased by their bemusement. We make a delicious feast that requires far less work and hassle than the traditional turkey!

Last night we snagged the last unturkey off the shelf at Whole Foods. It was the smaller size but we were glad to have found one. Now as I was searching for a link for the unturkey’s website, I have discovered to my horror that our beloved unturkey has been discontinued. We will be savoring our last unturkey dinner as we get over this terrible shock. Sigh.

Note: Here’s a link to an article describing the unturkey and other vegetarian options for holiday meals.

Unexpected realities in 2020

I’ll never forget how disoriented I felt in 2013 when my now ex-husband moved to California temporarily for a job, even though I knew that we’d be visiting each other regularly. The day he left I had nearly finished putting on two completely different shoes when I realized what I was doing.  That moment paled…

Remembering the Unturkey

ByPamela Wood Browne

It’s that time of year when we would be looking forward to our Unturkey dinner. I see from my Sitemeter stats that folks are still Googling in vain for the Unturkey as I did last year. Alas, there’s been no miraculous return of that beloved vegetarian alternative. I have to admit that when I see…

It’s My Birthday!

Whooo hooo!!! ::horns blowing:: The much anticipated day has arrived and I feel… pretty much the same. But I’m sure tons of wisdom is just going to smack into me any second now or maybe while I’m sleeping. Look out forty-somethings here I come 🙂

HP Saga Ends (I hope!)

Well, now you really can picture me using my laptop… actually a new laptop. I was contacted late Monday afternoon by an HP case manager which is apparently related to the “Escalation Team.” At first this was not a good thing, because I played phone tag with him until late the next day. When we…
