Vegan + Venison

This Thanksgiving, my parents cooked a vegan feast. They are on a diet from this book.

We had tomato risotto, wine and garlic Portabella mushrooms, lentil Dhal soup, cranberry-pomegranate sauce, roasted asparagus and tomatoes, fresh salad from the garden, sweet potatoes ...


And then my aunt and uncle brought deer jerky. It's in the jar next to the vegetables.

My uncle killed the deer and my aunt marinated strips of the flank overnight in their secret wet rub. There's a ton of teriyaki in it. Vegan and venison. I'd say that's about as American a Thanksgiving as you can get, right?
