Thanksgiving Eve

Today has been (and continues to be) an amazing adventure! I have borrowed a friend's dehydrator for my 8+ course Raw Vegan feast that I am preparing tomorrow. It is amazing to me and so many others that though I have been High Raw for over 4 years, I do not own a dehydrator! I am going a little crazy with recipes for tomorrow. So excited that a dear friend who attended my first Raw Foods 101 Class has been so inspired that she and her family are joining us for our meal tomorrow. I am so Blessed to have a husband and friends that support my lifestyle choice!! I am brimming over with excitement!! Have completed quite a few dishes tonight and I want to keep going and going! The dehydrator isn't full, yet a Mama does need her sleep.
In the dehydrator: The marinated onions for the Green Bean Casserole, the Chinese 5 Spice Maple Pecans for atop the Sweet Potato Casserole and the walnuts for in the Waldorf Salad.
Almond Mayo, delectable, zingy, divine is complete..awaiting it's union with the rest of the Waldorf family. Asa, (my sweet husband) made an amazing Cranberry Orange relish, which is melding and marrying its flavors in the refrigerator. Finally, my Savory Autumn Walnut Pate, with fresh sage and rosemary from my own garden, is complete, to be lovingly spooned into sweet red bell peppers and dehydrated tomorrow. Off to bed, to dream of Live, Energizing taste sensations!
