Larry Wheeler, 52, was invited to dinner with his daughter Mary and family. It does not happen many times a year, and even less in the Trump era.
If Mary were a vegan, their contact would be even less, Larry stopping by on Christmas eve with presents for the kids.
Now they had dinner. Mary is on a kick to give healthy food for the kids. She bakes all the bread and cookies and they do not have bought snacks other than apple juice and popcorn.
The dinner was lovely, though a little light on meat. Mary explained it all but Larry lost track after cilantro and garlic. Oh, there was cheddar cheese in it. Larry is more of a steak and potatoes guy who eats at Taco Bell if he can't be bothered with the cooking. His wife left years ago.
