Editing Acetarium/Thanksgiving 2012

We will be hosting a vegetarian Thanksgiving at the [[Acetarium]] (265 Elm street (very close to Davis Square). 

We'll have vegan/vegetarian turkey and, if we're lucky, tofurducken as well, and other creative reinventions of tradition. We are planning also have Agua de Valencia Sorbet and drinks. 

If you're going to come, please plan to bring food and/or drinks. We have two kitchens we can use if you'd like to cook here but the space might be tight so let us know if you're planning to od that. You can also cook at home bring food over and warm it up at the [[Acetarium]].

== No stores open on thanksgiving!!! == 

Although there are sometimes a few exception, no stores are open on Thanksgiving!

Let us repeat: NO STORES ARE OPEN ON THANSKGIVING!

Some of them close early on Wednesday! I'm tempted put a blink tag on this. Plan ahead!

== Make it Veg*n! ==

We're doing a vegetarian meal and we ask that folks bringing and cooking food go veg for the night. Vegan is not required but very strongly encouraged because it's a lowest common denominator. So, Earth Balance instead of butter; don't gratuitously de-veganize a dish!

A full list with pictures from last shows how almost every food item was vegan: http://www.flickr.com/photos/madprime/6400645105/

== Timing ==

Vague plan is to start cooking around 3PM, and be done around 7 or 8pm, with  drinking and essential snacking interspersed throughout the day.

'''REMEMBER REMEMBER:''' Nothing is open on Thanksgiving. Like ''nothing''. That means everything needs to purchased before businesses close on Wednesday. and Some of them close early. (Of note, Farmer's Bounty was open last year until 3PM or so on Thurs, pretending not to know the law. It's been shut down permenantly for this infraction.)
