Food is a big one in my family too. And by the way, I love a good sandwich. There is nothing better than finding a vegan dive that has a great sandwich.

For my family, we are big on stews, gumbos, etouffe, and everything begins with a good rue. Get a good rue, then it's "manje vant plen" (means eat the belly full).

As a vegan (I really prefer calling myself plant-based), I can make a vegan version of all the stews I grew up with. And sandwiches!

Thanks for another fun story Amanda. You're brilliant at evoking memories.
