The Official Work Dinner Rant



Tonight is the Official Work Dinner. It's an annual event at this horrible steakhouse that is in the next town over. I won't get go into it much but here's a clue. Two years ago, when we were just vegetarian, we ordered spaghetti marinara. We made it clear we were vegetarian. This was by special arrangement because there is nothing meatless on their menu. Oh wait.. potatoes and garlic bread. Our salads came with meat slices on them. No problem... they took them off right there! No kidding. Rather than get myself really revved up for the fun of the evening, I'll talk about tomorrow.

Tomorrow night we're having a few friends over for wine. Here is the menu so far:
spinach dip in pumpernickel
tempeh taco bites (I'm making this up- my second time with phyllo dough!)
tofu salad in little cups
bbq seitan bites (Trying the V'con Cutlet recipe for these)
samosa stuffed potates (V'con)
veggies and sundried tomato hummus
some chocolate cake.


The cake is a big decision. I love Isa's Rich Chocolate Cake, but I'm thinking about trying Joni's or the new lowfat one in V'con.

Pictures on Saturday, but in the meantime, check out the spinach dip and the tempeh filling.

Good thing we have leftover lasagna from last night. It'll make a great predinner dinner.
