Ok, folks its been too long since our last *and first ever VW potluck in history* of the New England/ Mid Atlantic -esque crew...
so i have mentioned this to a few of you, but i would be willing to have a get together at my place here in Western Mass this month. Time is a little tight for me, but how about Sun March 23rd or the 30th? would anyone be interested?
ill do the whole mass PM thing once some peeps chime in.
let me know what y'all think. :)
I don't know what to bring, yo's! I will be in the car for much of the day so I was thinking of making some kind of sturdier baked good. Something that the rest of you haven't mentioned bringing. Is that ok? Too many baked goods? I can also bring a couple varieties of homemade hummus.

Dang, hummus was my default item to bring... now I have to think of something extravagant and bring that. How about vegan caviar with spinach pate and olives?
Well, most of the places I bring food to are omni gatherings, so I bring something at least a little familiar to them, hummus. I could only imagine what they would say if I brought a tempeh dish... serve them right though, never making me anything.
oh, you can still bring hummus if you want! i can think of something else.
I claim Lasagna and Lemon Cupcakes.
I saw a picture of the Ehtiopian Ful and it looked really good. I'm going to make some as soon as I find me some fava beans and hopefully it will be delicious and I can bring it next weekend!
hihihihihi!
I've been swamped at work and out of the loop 'til cams IMed me. It looks like so far there's some kind of hummus competition that I would lose, BP's making all the rest of the food (or at least the first 6 courses), so I'll cover dessert! Of course, I won't make much 'cause everyone's gonna want Cali's lemon cupcakes!
Wheet! 'Kay, see you guys on Sat. I may not log in before then, so wish me luck!
okay, i actually read everything and it looks like there's vegan-loads of food. how about i bring presents and decorations and promise to wash all-a-y'alls dishes? okay, that's my plan. seriously now, i'm going back to getting work done! :-D
soooo 11 am ???!!! Sun March 30th.
Cams...i think you should make your Spicy Peanut BUtter Tempeh! yeah! ;)b
I'm already pumped for this weekend.
Just sayin'.
:):D ;D :w00t!: :w00t!: :w00t!: ;D :D :)
Here's what I made:
Chewy Raspberry Chocolate Cookies (Vcon)
Rumnog Cookies (Vcon)
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies (KMK original)
fresh pineapple for pizza and perhaps ice cream
Ice cream toppings: peanuts, walnuts, chocolate chips, chocolate espresso beans, something else I can't remember....
I got on a cookie spree--a half batch of each kind. Too many cookies?
Nah, didn't think so. :-D
Well, I was going to bring a mexican pizza, but when I stopped home before leaving for the night I walked into the kitchen and my sister was making the exact same thing! Errrrrr! She used all my ingredients, which I had only had just enough to make one pizza. So as a quick replacement I had to go with a bean dip. The pizza was delicious though!
See everyone tomorrow!
see y'all tomorrow! woo! :)>>>
hooray for food and fun people!
I feel bad that we had to leave in such a hurry without proper goodbyes.. car-sharing squeezes our schedules at times and as will happen when faced with cupcakes and ice cream, we let our time get away from us - we would have liked to stick around!
thanks for a lovely potluck, everyone.. and especially LA for so hospitably opening her home.
it was great to finally meet everyone and EATSOMUCHFOOD. Still digesting... still savoring the tastiness.
looking forward to the next one!
I had a wonderful time as well, and had my fill of delicious vegan foods. BP and I had a little competition going to see who would make the best vegan snausage, and even though I conceded that I liked BP's better, at the end of the day, there was only 1 piece of mine left, while there were 3 or 4 of BP's. Woooooo! Honest to goodness, I didn't eat 10 pieces of mine....
Thanks again everyone who came, and especially LA, our gracious hostess.
P.S. The Beano didn't even work!!!!
:'(
But I'm glad you guys had fun! I have to tell you all my story later....
It was so awesome to meet everyone. Was a pleasure to meet new people and get to visit with those I knew from other meet ups.
Thank you LucidAnne for opening your home to us all! You rock!!
The food was all superb. I am so full right now.... STILL! ugh! I think my favorite was the confetti salad of beans, corn and veggies. It was just so yummy but not heavy like my casserole. The pizza was also rocking awesome, just like the spinach artichoke dip. YUM.
I am hording all the yummy leftovers for myself for lunch but I did feed my honey some of the Whisky Cake! ahaha Tomorrow I shall be eating Aloo Gobi at lunch feeling all warm and happy about it coming from Nuchita! Thank you everyone. :)
(Kate, sorry you didnt make it!! Hope everything is ok.)
KMK, so sorry you couldn't make it :( We were looking forward to meeting you. Bad luck often strikes at the worst times. If ever you find yourself around Boston be sure to let Dinkfeet, Celtkat, and I know and we'll meet up with ya!
Cam, the beano didn't work? Haha, after all that talk about it.
Great to see all the old faces and meet new ones! Everyone is a great cook. I had to keep the heat off during the car ride home to fight off the "food coma."
LA, muchas gracias for having us over. You are a very gracious host, and uber cool to boot!
Sweet desserts were so gooood, but so filling after all the yummy food, great work everyone.
It was great meeting everyone. Sorry we had to run so quickly... as nuchita said, the car share sometimes restricts the amount of fun, really wish we could have stayed longer....just makes the wait much longer for the next potluck. LA thanks for hosting I am now jealous of your chopping block and all the great cooking tools. It's now 6 hours since we left and I am still full. Can't wait til we all meet again for the next one.
man, i miss you guys already!! i had so much fun w/ y'all and i was so glad to see and meet everyone.
The Midge demands that you return soon for some more belly rubs....she needs them now since she indeed got her fill of vegan treats of soy ice cream, whiskey cake and green tea cupcake wrapper. we caught her red handed!! (cams...she needs some beeno!)
i will definately want to be hitting you all up for recipes...everything was sooo yummy! i will be trying the aloo tomorrow (which, TECHNICALLY, is at 12.01am, right??!!)
thanks again everyone! it was a blast! :)
KMK.... im soooo sorry you didnt get to make it, i was soo looking forward to meeting you! we'll do it again, dont fret!
