re: #162 Lord Of The Pies

There will also be the traditional cheesecake, fish, and meat meals with brisket, chicken, chicken soup, but I want my DIL to relax and enjoy herself while she’s here.

Some people complain that it’s a pain in the ass to cook vegan. Yes it’s challenging, especially with additional restrictions like no sugar or local sweeteners, but that’s what makes it fun.

Not that hard from my experience. One thing is to not try to “substitute” for meat so hard. Just supply the proteins a different way using legumes or via another source.

My brother’s experience with family dinners or pot-lucks was to take a vegetarian dish since that was his way to ensure there would be something there he could eat. (It also helps that some of his friends is a married pair of professors who are also vegetarians.)
