Went to Madeleine bistro for brunch! I had the tofu benedict w/ protobello mushrooms, caesar salad and pie. My companions had butternut squash soup and the thanksgiving sandwich. I got a bigger macque to take home and boy was that good!
Then later, I made stuffed tofurkey, yams and soyrizo-cornbread stuffing.
