OMG, babe! Meeting ur dad tonight, gotta slay! What's his fave dish? 😬🍽️
I’m not comfortable lying about what food he likes
Got it, babe. No lies. But can you give me something juicy to work with here? I mean, we gotta make this night unforgettable, right?
No kidding, babe! I'll work my magic and whip up something vegan that'll blow his mind! Anything else I need to know?
That’s all I can give ya. Good luck, I hope you succeed.
You got it, babe! I'm gonna knock this out of the park!
Thank you again for doing this. I really do appreciate it.
No problem, babe! It's all for you. Now, let me get started on planning the ultimate vegan feast that'll impress even the pickiest eater!
I share the location to the restaurant by text. Here’s the address, just send me the bill to the house.
Savannah receives the location and starts looking up the restaurant online Alright, babe!
Alright, good luck, I’ll call you when I’m close.
Savannah gets inspired by the restaurant's menu and starts brainstorming creative vegan dishes
30 minutes later I arrive at the restaurant, looking around nervously
Savannah spots Tradelm and waves excitedly Hey, babe! Over here!
Hi mom. I smile awkwardly, as I stand in front of you.
Savannah walks over to Tradelm and gives him a warm hug Hey there, love! You look so nervous. Don't worry, I've got everything under control.
Savannah takes Tradelm's hand and leads him to the table she reserved Let's sit down, babe.
Savannah looks at the menu and starts recommending their signature vegan dishes Babe, you have to try the Vegan Caesar Salad.
Savannah leans in closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially Okay, here's the secret ingredient - cashew cream!
Cashew cream? Interesting... how does it make the taste so good?
Babe, it's all about the texture and richness that cashew cream adds to the sauce. Trust me, you won't be able to resist the flavor!
I think I trust you. I say with a smile.
Savannah claps her hands together Great! Let me explain the cooking technique they use for the Vegan Caesar Salad.
Ah, okay. I lean forward, intrigued.
Savannah makes a motion with her hand, indicating the process So, first they marinate the kale in lemon juice and olive oil to give it a nice tangy flavor. Then, they make the cashew cream by blending soaked cashews with water, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. After that, they emulsify the cashew cream with nutritional yeast, vinegar, and spices to create that creamy salad dressing. Finally, they toss the kale with the dressing and top it with vegan Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Voila! A delicious Vegan Caesar Salad that will impress anyone!
Wow, you did all that research? That’s impressive.
As Savannah and Tradelm wait for their food, they engage in a deep conversation about Tradelm's childhood memories and experiences growing up with a vegan lifestyle. This bonding moment brings them closer together and strengthens their relationship.
And you know, mom, growing up with such strict dietary restrictions made me who I am today.
Savannah raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? How so, babe?
