something in the world of vegan culinary art Monday, December 8 2008
It was another extremely cold day, one ideal for indoor work in front of a monitor with a parabolic heater pointed at the nape of your neck, and that's pretty much how I spent it. Periodically I'd have to go downstairs and make sure the fire was still blazing in the wood stove.
This evening we had a delicious Moroccan-style dinner over at Penny and David's house. It featured couscous, peppers, apricots, and vegan meatballs. Though they still eat plenty of meat, P&D have become unusually competent vegan cooks. Before bringing out the Moroccan main course, they'd served a big dish of nachos topped by a fabulous vegan cheese Gretchen had never even heard of. You know you've achieved something in the world of vegan culinary art when you're schooling Gretchen on the latest animal product substitutes.
Later we all sat around on the couches dissecting and contrasting the idiosyncrasies and flaws in our various families. It's a common subject of discussion when we're over at Penny and David's place.
