Happy Thursday. Derek's friend James and I agree upon Thursday being our favorite day of the week. As many of you already know, it's the night the vegans (and non-vegans) gather for our weekly feast. Treated as the holiday it is, each and every week, we gather for a mostly vegan, mostly home-cooked meal, love and laughter.
