Becoming lactose intolerant was a blessing in disguise. There are lots of good reasons, health, environment and avoiding animal cruelty. The older I get I am finding myself and courage to live up to convictions.
That is awesome!

Almost 17 years vegetarian is so great! And how wonderful that your son has also given up meat.

Our veg Thanksgiving staple is GF soya and vegetable cobbler along with all the usual sides (this year roasted root veggies, garlic mashed potatoes, random sauteed vegetables, local fruit cranberry sauce substitute and carrot souffle to stand in for the yams which had a short season this year and are no where to be found).
Sounds good! Do you have a recipe for the carrot souffle?

Yes, please stay!

I love Thanksgiving food! I just eat all the sides- love me some mashed potatoes, vegetarian stuffing, coconut milk pumpkin pie, and I also just found out Marie Callendar's apple pie is vegan. I have some almond dream ice cream to put on my pie, too.
I'll have to check out coconut milk pumpkin pie. I haven't tried that yet!

I'm so sorry about your mom's cancer. That's good to hear the review of how their meals was. Bummer about the cake. What type was it? My mom bought me a vegan muffin from Whole Foods the other day while we were shopping for Thanksgiving, and it was so good! I think it was some type of carrot muffin, maybe? It looked like it had grated carrots in it.
