I lied, best Christmas Eve ever

So apparently all it takes is food to make familial drama calm down. Kelly and I made THE BEST EVER vegan Christmas Eve feast and everything so amazing and delicious and OMGwooooooow. And that's not even including the piiiiiiiiiie we still get to eat with soy whipped cream!

Picture time!:

The pretty table that Mumsey set:

Jesus H. Christ (it's timely)

Worst. Christmas. Ever.

Later: Okay, things have gotten better. Kelly and I have been cooking all morning/afternoon for our vegan Christmas Eve feast and it's been really fun so far. I am still in my jammies too!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Mrrrf. I get all lonely without Johnny-poo around, I'm such a big baby. Not sure how I'm going to handle it when he moves away next year.

Made buttery lemon cutout cookies from Vegan with a Vengeance tonight, really good, ate about a thousand of them. I found the 6-8 minute baking time not enough for them though.

Kelly and I are going out tomorrow in search of a Celebration Roast from Field Roast for our vegan Christmas Eve dinner we are cooking. Menu:

Hot cider (with or w/o rum)
Celebration roast
Sweet potato cassrole
Green beans
Corn bread
Garlicky kale with tahini dressing
Gingerbread-apple pie

YUMMERS.

(...It's my blog and I'll say 'yummers' if I damn well please, thankyouverymuch.)
