I'm def interested in that recipe for the roast. I wanna try to make seitan as a project this next year at some time because store bought us super expensive for not a lot. It would be an easy thing to toss into pasta or ramen when I'm not feeling beans.

Gonna look for the mushroom Wellington recipe too. That sounds good with my mashed potatoes I wanna make. And maybe some mixed veggies on the side or roasted fresh veggies?

My in-law family is alright. They don't make a big deal about what I can and can't eat like I think other families do. My wife's cousin was quizzing me on what I can and can't eat during thanksgiving but it was friendly small talk to questions. Nothing malicious. And when we go out to eat my in-laws make sure it's a place I can eat at. We have a few vegan friendly Americana style restaurants and the Thai places are pretty good at catering to vegans. So there are some safe places for sure. I just mostly want to take the initiative to make my own food so it doesn't cause conflict. And of course others are welcome to try what I make. No one wanted my vegan pumpkin pie tho, and aside from being slightly underdone, I thought it was bangin'.
