Allison,
Okay, so maybe you should not expect anything of your family but you sounded so distressed from the situation and I thought that if the experience upsets you, you could encourage them to be more sensitive to your needs.
Here are a number of vegetarian places in Houston to eat a few of them, vegan!
How about
A Moveable Feast?
Have you been in touch with
Marian Bell?
Thank you, very much.
