Well, whenever I go to visit, she stocks up on fake meats and soy cheese.

Mmmmm, fake meat. (No, really. Between my mom & stepdad being vegan -- they're the ones who introduced me to a lot of faux meat -- and cooking for a vegetarian, there's a LOT of fake meat I like.)

Oh Tep-- you are SO June Cleaver in that. With pearls, even!

Well, I wore the dress to work (just your standard A-line shirtdress), but when I put on the apron, I realized that I needed pearls to complete the outfit (I was wearing a typewriter-key "S" necklace). So the pearls were staged.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Huh. But your cooking is better than fake meat and fake cheese. I have had decent fake meat, but no decent fake cheese. You have more sophisticated taste than that.

There are some fake meats I like, but I don't eat them too often. Trader Joe's nuggets are good, and Morningstar riblets, and Smart Dogs. Also some of the Tofurky sausages.

You have to wear pearls with that apron

And, for anyone wondering, the zucchini bread I was baking while wearing the apron -- YUM.

What you were wearing made the bread better

Oh, that reminds me. I chopped up one of the Morningstar italians and used it in a dish with sauteed zucchini and peppers tossed with gnocchi. So good, and sausage works much better this way.
