After many years, of his wife nagging the big bad Daddy-O Dawg, to hop on the Vegan Train, all it took was one YouTube video of Hot Chick Jenna Marbles talking about her vegan diet, to convince him to get his boarding pass.
So thrilled with her husband's change of thought on the whole subject, Amy came up with an inventive creation for tonight's dinner.
