Supper/Dinner Time ! What's on the menu?

[CrazyCatLady]

Tonight is my turn to host 'vegan night'. Started by some omni friends from work about 6 months ago where one person hosts a vegan dinner and the others bring drinks and desserts. Thought that as I'm the only vegan I should probs do it soon. Monday was my or year veganersary so I wanted to invite more people. I have 7 plus 2 children coming over later for "posh hot dogs" (Linda McCartney sausages in part baked baguettes). It needed to be something people can eat on the couch and at the breakfast bar rather than just at the table! Plus it's nice to show we can eat 'normal' food too. The kids will never know! xxx

That is amazing that omnis host a vegan dinner. This wouldn't happen to me.

That is very rare CCL! How wonderful it must be to be surrounded by such open minded people.

You're right. They must be very open minded to be able to host vegan parties being omnis !

They are great. It all started with national vegetarian week earlier in the week. They all took up the challenge and we decided we were going to go out for dinner and all eat veggie to celebrate. Most were too poor to go out so one girl offered to have us all round hers. She made sure it was vegan for me. Since then another said she would like to have us to hers. And now it's become a thing. Two have children (5 year olds), who always try the food but sometimes have maybe a cheese pizza if they really dislike it. They won't know any different at mine today tho haha xxx

I made pasta noodles! I'm so excited! I hope they taste ok! Definitely not pretty, lol. Might look better cooked and with the sauce.

I had a pepper, onion and Daiya cheddar panini with hot sauce on the veggies; and a vodka cranberry juice cocktail. For dessert I had two (!) Nanaimo bars. So much for my plan to have just one at a time, hah!

Reading this thread is making me hungry. I'm not sure what I want for dinner. I have several options: another pepper, onion and Daiya panini, veggie chili, chickpea flour omelet with leftover home fries, or pesto with pasta.
