In Which I Literally Colonize My Tastes on My Family

My stew was kind of a bust (it was delicious and I had leftovers for lunch, but nobody else has been willing to eat it), but I just made vegan peanut butter pancakes for dinner and they were an unqualified success. It's about the easiest recipe ever - I doubled the ingredients, added a tablespoon of vanilla, and used chunky peanut butter, and they turned out really well. And that's saying a lot, because I have a penchant for lighting pans on fire and almost food poisoning myself. My mom and Kelly were sports about it, but I waited to tell my dad that they were vegan until after he'd already eaten his pancake. I didn't want to wreck it.
