Here's the message a wonderful aunt (my son's, not mine) sent us:
I thought you would enjoy seeing what our Vegans enjoyed yesterday. This sounds way better than turkey. I wish I had known to order this instead!

An acorn Squash with its top removed and later replaced like a tilted beret, baked and filled with chanterelle�s, wild rice, nuts and cranberries. Totally fab!
And where did I have this gourmet dinner? Right here at The Sequoias. Congratulations to dining services for making a plant based Thanksgiving dinner something to be over-the-top grateful for, and my turkey eating friends to be jealous of.
Of course I responded appreciatively:
Thanks for passing this on. That is part of what we had in Pleasant Hill--stuffed acorn squash and much more. However, I don't think Kathy, who made the dish, created the beret effect. Good idea!
I have been in restaurants--specifically the Food Shop in Larkspur--where they make a stunning dish for me that's not on the menu and the people around me ask, "What's that?" and wind up ordering it!
I'm glad the Sequoias is doing a good job with healthy (for people, other animals, and the environment) choices, and I'm really glad that you had the chance to be in a bubble with a couple of others in the dining room.
