Mama Vegan, Papa Vegan, Day 4

[teaberryblue]

It’s lucky today was the halfway point, because I don’t know how much more of this my mom can do.

When I called, they were eating dinner, which was Vegan pulled pork from “It’s All Good,” a company that makes ready-made vegan products. I have had their beef skewers and thought they were delicious.

Sharon: This wouldn’t be my favorite meal. Daddy likes it more than I do. I don’t like the texture. It’s kind of rubbery.

John: Pork is rubbery!

Sharon: I’m counting down. I’ve kind of had enough. It was fine. But I’m basically eating the same things every day. I would be more adventurous, but I don’t have time to be more adventurous.

John My food today was similar to my food yesterday, but I’m saving the world and doing greater things for everybody so I feel good.

Mary (a family friend) asked us to go to dinner tomorrow and have birthday cake for their son tomorrow night and I said, “we are so screwed.” I explained to her that I was vegan for the week. I told her that I would come over, but I just wouldn’t eat any cake, and she said, “but we’re getting Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, are you sure you don’t want any?” And I told her I couldn’t eat it.

I think it’s good. I think it’s delicious. It’s got pulled pork sauce, so it’s nice and tangy. I think your mother is turning religious, she says this is like Lent.

Tempeh is a fermented soy product, which sometimes also has grains or bits of vegetable added in. I like it a lot more than tofu, as I find it more flavorful and it has a more interesting texture. Sometimes when it's been marinated and seasoned, it's also used as a bacon substitute--since it can be fried somewhat crispy.

Seitan is made from gluten. If you've ever gotten vegetarian "chicken" or "beef" at a Chinese restaurant, you may well have been eating seitan. It's very rich in protein, and it's got a chewy texture.
