At first after adopting a vegan diet, I thought I could maintain still serving animal products to my husband. I don’t think that lasted a month. My husband got a ham as a gift, and I did manage to cook it for him. He came in the front door and asked with a disgusted tone, “What’s that smell?” I replied, “meat.”

While he does go through the drive-up windows and orders the combo number meat specials, he often will order a salad of only vegetables.

While I didn’t fool him on my first attempt at carrot hot dogs, he has become accustomed to our family vegan way of life.
