About halfway through our carnivore-athon, just as I was giving my dad a high five, my mom called to say she was on her way home. It gave us just enough time to cover the evidence. We used rubber gloves and bleach, just like they do on my dad’s favorite show, Law & Order.

We scraped the last bit of gristle off the barbecue just in time to see my mom get out of the car lugging her reusable tote bags filled with stuff from the green market.

She walked in the backyard and immediately started sniffing the air. “Something’s not right. What’s going on here?”

“Just cleaning up,” my dad said, licking a chunk of beef off his tooth. “We made cumin-rubbed tofu.”

“On the barbecue? It’s twelve degrees outside!”

“But, Mom, grilled tofu is the best. So flavorful,” I added casually as I removed the pink rubber gloves.

“Interesting that you two cleaned the grill so thoroughly . . .”

“When it comes to barbecues, you can’t be too neat,” I said. “Keeps the raccoons away.”
