What better way to win over family members and bask in the glow of someone else's hard work then to have your meal catered.  Where to look?  Well, your local grocer is a decent place to start.  Use the power of Google and search vegan catering plus your city and or area code.  Also take a look at HappyCow, search around for a local restaurant and give them a call.  Better yet, check their Web site to see if they do holiday catering.  Chances are they'll have a holiday menu online!   For those near the Windy City, great example for catering is Chicago Diner's Thanksgiving Catering  (Just glancing at it has us thinking of plane tickets!) Generally, the caterers will figure cost per person and how fancy-schmancy you want to get.  It's OK to rack up your credit card just this once.  Think about how priceless the memory of your first ThanksLiving will be!  (This statement has been paid for by Mastercard.) (Only kidding!)
