Enough of the depressing stuff, here's my tribute to Dad's favorite summertime dinner, "lunch in the oven." I don't know where the name comes from. It's just what we always called it. It does come from the oven, but we usually had it for dinner.
I'm not sure if Dad would have liked the veganized gluten-free version of "lunch in the oven," but here it is anyway, and I think it's pretty freakin' awesome even with the weird rice bread.Lunch in the oven:
2 slices of crappy white bread (or some lovely gluten free rice bread)
4 slices of fresh summer ripe tomato
Sprinkle of vegan Bacon Salt
2 slices of vegan cheese (whatever is closest to American cheese)
4 slices smoked tofu fried in a little canola oil
Toast bread. Top with tomato, sprinkle on bacon salt, top with vegan cheese and tofu then broil until cheese is melty. About 5 minutes, but check it often.
Cut in half and enjoy.

Great way to remember your dad's birthday!
Yeah, I became vegan initially b/c of my mom's colon cancer and the higher risk of inheriting it.
At least we're doing what we can with the food we eat, which I think is a lot!
Aww, what a lovely tribute!
BACON SALT!!!
I so have to get me some of that.
I was so sad reading the first part of your post but this was such a lovely way to remember your dad by. I reckon he would have loved your vegan version simply because it was made with such love.
