I'm home from my sister's. It was only my parents, my sister, her daughter, my sister's boyfriend, me and a friend of my mom's. Not my sister's ex-mother-in-law and ex-sister-in-law, like I thought. But good food and a good time was had by all. We had all the usual...turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, rolls, a broccoli salad that was real good (and I don't care for broccoli).
For dessert, we had some frozen Cheescake Factory cheescake that my sister got from Costco, and she made an almost-vegan cheesecake. Instead of shortning, she used half Smart Balance spread mixed with butter in the crust...I don't know if that's what the recipe called for or if my sister just did that. Otherwise, there was tofu in the pumpkin instead of milk and eggs and it actually was quite good. It had a slightly different texture than "normal" pumpkin pie, but not in a bad way, at all. I wouldn't have thought that it was almost-vegan.
