Boston: potluck/dinner party?

VeganFoodRocks · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 10:28 am

Woohooo! I am definitely going to be there! I have no allergies. I will be coming from work so it would be best if I brought something that can be eaten cold or at room temp like a side or cupcakes! Let me know!

No allergies, but asparagus is gross. I will also be coming from work (VFR, perhaps we can travel together?)

bap · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 11:45 am

Me and the mister (if that's alright) are in, and we'll eat pretty much anything.

It looks like the best date for everyone is Wednesday, June 1st. (Except Quarantined and jillrenee--sorry, you two! definitely next time.) Time will be 7:30.

Please let me know: 1.) If you are attending, and 2.) if you have any food allergies/intolerances/dislikes? (This can be via PM if you want to avoid cluttering the thread.)

After I hear how many are coming and what people can't eat, I'll figure out what to make and what to ask you-all to bring (ie, sides, desserts, drink, etc).

I'm excited!

1. Yes for me and VoR!
2. We eat everything (well, everything that is vegan)!
3. I'm more than happy to contribute anything you desire (desserts aren't my strong suit, but anything else goes).
4. Whee!!!!

Works for me, too! No allergies!

Yes! what time do you get out of work? You can text me about it if you want so we don't hijack the thread

lillianp · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 12:30 pm

Oh my god, Can't believe I missed this thread! I'd love to do this. I can do the set date. Can bring anything. Have no food allergies. If I still can?

b.vicious · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 1:09 pm

May I drag bring my boyfriend along with me?

vegetalion · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 1:12 pm

All are welcome as long as you let me know first (including significant others)--I may have to cap attendance if it gets too high, but we're good now. Let's say let me know before Wednesday the 25th--that will give us all enough time to plan/prepare foods.

So far:
Desdemona
VoiceofRaisin
b.vicious & bf
lillianp
VeganFoodRocks
bap & mr. bap

DarthCupcake · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 1:26 pm

I will be there! And I will bring foods, of course.

Pi. · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 4:27 pm

I'll be there! I can bring anything :) I don't particularly like mushrooms, but if they are in some stuff, I don't mind... it's not an allergy.

Mr. Shankly · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 11:46 pm

I'm just asking in case there's too many people now but if she wants to, can my friend go? I'll know tomorrow whether or not she wants to come.

For some reason it did not dawn on me that this was happening while you are in Boston! I am even more excited for this now!

Mr. Shankly · **Posted:** Sat May 21, 2011 8:39 pm

Sorry, we won't be attending. Maybe next time. I hope (know) everyone will have fun!

If you haven't responded yet, today's your last chance to let me know if you're coming.

Now that we've got attendance figured out, food will be as follows:

I'm going roughly middle eastern with the menu. I'll have some cashew goat cheese and fig spread of some sort as an appetizer, pumpkin kibby as an entree, and a salad for the side.

You can bring: a.) an appetizer b.) a side dish c.) a dessert, or b.) a drink to share. It doesn't have to be middle eastern-y. There will be 13 of us total.

For allergies, I can't have nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, chilis, eggplant). You don't have to make your dish nightshade-free, but it'd be great if you could pay attention to ingredients so I'll know which things I can eat.

ETA: Oh, and it'll be at 7:30. I'll PM you my address/contact info.

VeganFoodRocks · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2011 11:24 am

I will make a dessert! I'm thinking since its middle eastern that baklava would be a good one! I might try and make an appy or a side too, I will post if I do.

You can clearly ignore my PM about the menu =)

b.vicious · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2011 12:54 pm

I will also bring a dessert. Thank you for inviting us, this will be fun!

ndpittman · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2011 2:05 pm

I need to look at some cookbooks at home, but I'm thinking of bringing a side dish.

bap · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2011 4:48 pm

Right now my plan is to make lentil kofta, which I suppose would be an appetizer, but I have to peruse some more recipes first.

Mr. Shankly · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2011 5:51 pm

Even know I'm not attending, at other potlucks I've been to we've taken index cards and written the ingredients out on them so that people know if there's an allergen or whatever in it.

SOMEONE MAKE NAMOURA!

Good idea!

Do people want alcoholic-type bevvies or non-alcoholic drinks? I'd love to make something, but with my travel schedule I feel like bringing a drink to share might be more realistic.

If there is alcohol, I will certainly drink it! If there isn't, I won't die. =)
