I love you Sarah and I am so proud of the fine young woman that you have become. I think your version of the Broccoli Salad looks a lot healthier than the one I used to prepare. I will look forward to trying it. Keep up the good work. Your plate presentations and photography are fantastic.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Even though we went through a very difficult loss, we had a great life together. Being a single dad gave me the opportunity to know my children in a way that most men will never know. <br /><br />KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924184019770014957.post-25931361301426064332010-01-30T13:05:26.260-06:002010-01-30T13:05:26.260-06:00Sarah,

I haven't tried any of the other versions, although she tells me that the first <a href="http://veganepicurean.blogspot.com/2009/05/homemade-veganaise.html" rel="nofollow">vegan mayo recipe</a> that she posted is so much like vegannaise that it is scary!
