Random things I'm finding interesting...
OK, so first of all, how cute is this little apple jacket? It's an actual knitted cover-up for your apple so it doesn't chill-I mean, bruised.
Now, how gross is this: According to an article in this month's Women's Health, the average woman eats four to nine pounds of lipstick in her lifetime...between 481 and 1,083 tubes. Just the thought that I might even purchase more than 400 lipsticks in my life makes me a little queasy. (PS for those who read WH, I wrote the Undercover Lover story on sex toys! Yes, my parents are proud.)
Fitsugar has an interesting article on keeping your body ergonomically correct while shopping this holiday season. As someone who constantly shleps a laptop bag and heavy tote on my right shoulder, sometimes in addition to a gym bag and the occasional shopping bag (or three), I totally need this info.
Lastly, will somebody please tell me and the rest of WG what Tofurkey tastes like? I want details - flavor, texture, satisfaction, the whoe shebang. A few of my friends ate it for Thanksgiving and swear by it. (FYI for the pure carnivores out there, a Tofurky Roast contains no meat and is made with organic, non-genetically engineered soybeans.)
PS I had tea yesterday with an associate producer from iVillage, Valerie, who helps me greatly with this site--she's the smarty who puts the quizzes together so you can vote/waste time at work--also supplies me with ideas for blogs and generally is just awesome. And I'm not just saying that because she brought me a giant, creamydeliciousoutrageous peanut butter-and-chocolate cupcake. But that helps. Thanks, Val!!!

Okay the last item in your undercover lover story had me laughing so hard I had to e-mail it to my husband. Hopefully he won't check it at work;)
I ate Tofurkey for Thanksgiving!!! That said, I am going to have to mildly disagree with your friends. Tofurkey ain't bad but it doesn't compare to real turkey. I'm actually not a fan of imitation-meat products. Most of them taste okay but they are loaded with preservatives and other artificial ingredients. I know the package makes them sound all natural but my rule of thumb is "the closer it is to how God made it, the better it is for you."
So why did I eat it? Well, my sweet mother had the burden of feeding a vegan for a major holiday (poor woman) so when she presented it, I just ate it and smiled and thanked her for her consideration.
Really, it isn't bad. It tastes good but don't expect it to taste like turkey. It's just a little too unnatural for this vegan (who eats eggs) girl's taste.
Give it a try, Leslie and let us know what YOU think!
I'll review it for nutritious junk soon (and i am a hardcore carnivore) so stay tuned!
