I agree with the last part about the relationship... I might just have to forget my feeling and stay friends.. I cant compete on Saturdays while im cooking half (or a whole) dead animal and she is at a PETA convention... it makes a great conversation. .. just never ends well with a rib bone hanging out of my mouth.. lol...
LOL- I love it Mike. Though I'm surprised they didn't suspect anything when they realized how GOOD it tasted,....that's usually a dead-give-away to a vegan/vegetarian "This tastes good! What's wrong with it...?". I bet if you had told them it wasn't vegetarian they would have pretended to not like it because it tasted like meat. Then they would have gone home and had a veggie-burger, with tofu bacon and chicken flavored soy nuggets. lol why fight it!
Like Danny said, a relationship is a 50/50 street. Use her own arguments against her if you have to. If she expects you too cook vegan for her, tell her you only will if she starts reading up on some venison recipes....But on the other hand, you sound pretty swept up by this gal which I can understand,... it's nice to have someone warm to curl up next to so I guess give it a try and hope it works out. If it doesn't, here's what you do....just smoke a large brisket or whole pork shoulder; double wrap it in foil, then wrap in a queen size comforter and place it in bed with you. Should keep you warm til morning and is a readily available midnight snack.
Ugg, do they heckle you when you are grilling? Vegans are annoying, but they are worse in packs...To me it's a "pepsi vs. coke" argument. Being vegan is merely a difference of opinion, not a badge of divinity. I tell my co-worker all the time that she's not "right" for being vegan, just different.
