A Good Day

Happy Sabbath,

Today was a good day and Thanksgiving was OK. I went over to my parents' home to celebrate with them. I made fried chicken, vegan beignets and a vegan entree as I didn't expect much to be available for me to eat but I was pleasantly surprised by a spread of plant based dishes my mother prepared for me. It was so wonderful to see my son sitting at the table with everyone eating his chicken and beignets. I am happy that it was not too salty for people. My son wouldn't lie about food and he really did help himself. I wish I could try it too but I've been committed to being a vegetarian and am not willing to change up now. For the vegan entree, I mixed Trader Joe's plant beefless bulgogi with the vegetarian fried rice and shelled edamame with my favorite soy sauce (Tam Thai Tu) from Chin Su foods. I always try to introduce vegetarian options and they liked the bulgogi but were confused about what it was.

I had a good day at service and am glad to be home. I changed up the shape of my beignet recipe and now they cook better as vegan donuts and my son loves them. I am thankful that my son is now eating my food. I have always experimented and don't like following recipes. I want to be that cook that can walk in any kitchen and hook something up delicious without needing measuring devices or following a strict process. He asked me a strict vegetarian to make chicken and I did what I would do if it were chicken or even how I would if I were to consume it.

I'm thankful he is eating. I'm thankful my family enjoyed my food. I am thankful for the company that I was able to be around. I am thankful to Jesus for every day. God is good and I hope that you had a great week and Thanksgiving too. Praise the Lord and Happy Sabbath!
