Thanksgiving is no place for Vegans!

Tweet

We tried. We really did. My two nephews, my niece and I went out for Thanksgiving. This was my first holiday as a vegetarian in many years. My niece has been a vegetarian for a few years now and my nephew has been vegan for many years. My other nephew eats anything that doesn't move! lol The restaurant has said that they would probably have something that we could all eat. Well, they were wrong. As soon as we saw the menu, we looked at each other and shook our heads. While many states have gotten the message that not everyone eats meat these days, our state has no clue. There were only two things on the menu for non-meat eaters: stuffed mushroom caps (although I'm sure there was butter in there somewhere, but my nephew at them anyway) and, on the children's menu, cheese ravioli. However, they would not serve those to adults. My niece and I ordered entrees and asked that the meat be held back. We ordered extra pasta that came with the meal and we had the salad and other sides. It was good for me. My vegan nephew only ate a couple of mushroom caps and stopped. He has decided that for Christmas, he will cook at his place! Poor guy needs to eat! A third nephew who lives in Virginia is hoping to come up the day after Christmas, so we will be celebrating with him then. It will be the first time that I've been able to be with all three nephews and my niece in more years than I can remember! Being thankful was evident at our table despite the food. We had a lot of fun just sharing stories and being together. Hopefully when the "missing piece" is back with us, it will be even better! Peace Claudia
