your family's into it?!?

you must have SOME powers of persuasion...


then again, you did say 'dinner #1', so i assume they'll get their meat-fix somewhere else.


so- what are you making?

Ya, my family's way into it. I started doing this four years ago, so now it's kind of expected. They think since it's vegan it's automatically "healthy," so they stuff themselves even more. Dinner #1 was for the boyfriend's family, and I made seitan vegetable roast in a roasted pumpkin, gravy, stuffed mushrooms, chocolate chip bars with chocolate sauce, bread, and corn. Nothing too fancy. For my parents I'm going all out, and making my own fake turkey, and stuffing, and gravy, garlic mashed potatoes with ports and spinach, two other dishes I haven't decided on, a shit load of cakes and pies, and bread...The only thing my mom makes is the turkey because my dad will have a coniption without it. But he still eats tofu and the rest of it happily.
