I see that my views are falling off when I cook something that is not vegan or vegetarian.  I want to make more veg dishes but I do have to cater to both John and my dinner desires. This week I have three vegan or vegetarian dishes, one seafood, one chicken, and two meat dishes. In one of the meat dishes, spaghetti with beef ragu, the meat is a bit player. 
*We are having our Christmas, 2018 celebration in June because we were away at Christmas. It’s been a while since the kids have had presents so having summer Christmas is exciting to them.
