So… was a very cool and interesting day today. My sister, definitely NOT vegan… joined us to cheer at the Farm Sanctuary walk here in Orlando. We had lunch afterward at Ethos Vegan Kitchen… a wonderful vegan spot we like to frequent. My sister… had vegetable soup. And noted that it was missing something. Like beef. Or chicken.
Oh, well.
Fast forward a few hours… I made dinner tonight. I used the FABULOUS Vegan Dad cookbook…and made Chickpea Pot Pie… and Key Lime Pie for dessert. MMMMMMMM.
My sister, the confirmed non-vegetarian… loved both. And was surprised she liked both quite a lot.
I don’t have an expectation that she’s going to switch or anything… but was great to prepare a completely vegan meal that she really enjoyed.
I’m sharing the vegan thing… don’t want to be preachy, or pushy, or anything… but great to let people know there are great alternatives to “what we’ve always done.”
Oh – and I’m almost finished reading “Skinny Bastard.” Great stuff… confirms a lot!!
Happy Vegetarian Month and Vegan Month of Food!
