the meal sounds yummy, though I do have never done a tofurkey... I eat poultry though...
As to the families- join the crowd.. my FIL will ask what I cna have before cooking and either I'll bring something or he'll make something I can eat... depending on what he's planning.. and he lets me HELP in the kitchen to ensure things are safe.. Bill's stepdad has asked for details on my diet and makes sure there are things I can have for a meal or if he's cooking for a crowd and knows I can't have the main dish or that there won't be a safe side asks if I can bring that part... my mother on the other hand has 0 understanding except for the avoiding dairy thing because thats actually an allergy... she overreacts in public while I know how to cope and she bitches when I won't eat veggies or fatty things she's made that are dairy free but not safe for ME...
thankfully we live near Bill's family and not mine... my parents will barely eat in our house, forget big meals.. and my grandparents just don't understand... so the trip to see them in March should be interesting...
