It's been 2 months.⁠
⁠
2 months since we lost a tiny, unstoppable woman to a disease that takes no prisoners and shows no mercy.⁠
⁠
My Mother-in-law loved French Onion Soup and, while she wasn't even close to being vegan, I remember excitedly sharing this recipe for "Sinfully Delicious [vegan and oil-free] French Onion Soup" with her when I completed it almost exactly one year ago. Though I knew she would never make it for herself, she graciously fawned over the photos, said it looked great and she looked forward to trying it. ⁠
⁠
I planned to make it for her someday, but that day never came. So today, I'm making it in her memory, welcoming both the grief of missing her and the gratefulness that comes from having loved her and been loved by her.⁠
