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

+1 :-D

I haven't decided my mode of transport yet though either, so we shall see.

Oh, there will be alcohol, my precious! ;~)

Tell VoR no absinthe! I still haven't told you the story of how wasted I ended up getting that day!

No absinthe = no worries! (I couldn't believe you guys were going on to do other stuff that afternoon/evening; we went straight home and took a nap!)

Pi. · **Posted:** Thu May 26, 2011 12:48 pm

Awesome, I will bring some sort of beverage!

vegetalion · **Posted:** Fri May 27, 2011 10:57 am

There's already absinthe at our place! It's a brand I dislike, so I will encourage you to help yourselves.

DarthCupcake · **Posted:** Tue May 31, 2011 8:37 am

I have finally decided what I am bringing! I will be bringing a bean salad. It can be an appetizer or a side.

Yay, I'm so excited about this!

vegetalion · **Posted:** Tue May 31, 2011 9:52 am

With the (amazing) hot weather, our place is really warm. I will be sure to make lots of ice cubes tonight, but basically dress for a sauna.

ndpittman · **Posted:** Tue May 31, 2011 10:15 am

I'm so sorry--I'm not going to be able to make it after all!! LAME, I know.

Have fun and keep cool!!

I didnt have the energy to make baklava or cupcakes, plus transporting them in a cupcake carrier on the subway during rush hour would be a pain so i made coconut lime cookies!

Desdemona · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2011 9:06 am

You guys are going to know just how much I love you when you see this ginormous pan of mac & cheese (which I got up early to make, before my sunny kitchen becomes unbearably hot)!

I'm psyched! I had to make the kibby last night, since I was afraid all the cooking would make our place unbearable for y'all tonight.

And VFR, the cookies sound delicious!

I made Pistachio-Dusted Chocolate-Raspberry Truffles from Party Vegan. They're not very pretty but they're damn tasty.

I am going to try my hardest to whip up some lentil kofte when I get home, we'll see how that goes!

Pi. · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2011 1:17 pm

I'm thinking about getting ouzo as an aperitif and limoncello as a digestif. Those seemed to fit the "theme" of the meal well.

Want me to grab some lemonade, iced tea, or something non-alcoholic to have as well? I'll definitely be passing WF on the way.

I'm jealous that y'all had time to cook! I've been home like 18 hours in the last 6 days and spent 16 of those sleeping!

Also, I have ~2/3 of a bag of pepperjack Daiya... I opened it 2 days ago but it's been sealed in the fridge. If anyone wants it, I can bring it. Otherwise it is going in the trash... turns out, I find the flavor vile and I can't think of anyone else I know who would want it.

I... I would LOVE to try things with this...!

It's yours! I'll bring it to you tonight and hope you have better experiences with it than I did!

I was going to make bread (seeing as I'm probably biking, yummy side dishes/etc aren't quite as much an option/I was uninspired/no time now!) but got held up. So expect yummy muffins instead.*

*Disclaimer: Probably somewhat squished. Oh well.

The ouzo and limoncello sound awesome! I wouldn't worry about bringing anything else; that sounds like enough!

For people who prefer not to drink alcohol, we have water, soymilk, and (natural) root beer. If you want anything else, feel free to bring it!

We can also make tea and coffee. (People drink coffee after meals, right? I'm not big on caffeine, so I don't know!)

Kofte was a success! Also, I'm Beth and mr bap is Adam, so I don't have to introduce myself as bap, which always makes me feel weird.

Desdemona · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:36 pm

Alas, the crazy-ass atmospheric developments here in central MA have aborted my plans. It only just let up with the lightning and the torrential downpour, and I now have two very anxious pets whom I'd be loathe to leave (the dog is glued to my side, and the cat has yet to emerge from beneath the armchair were he's spent the past 90 minutes). So I'm afraid we'll have to take a raincheck; have a blast, guys (and if you must talk about me behind my back, please try to keep it clean)!

vegetalion · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2011 10:23 pm

Sorry to those who couldn't make it; you were missed! But thank you to everyone who did brave the weather tonight; I had a great time! I just wish any of us had remembered to take pictures...

We said we'd post recipes; here are the things I made:
Pumpkin Kibby
Cashew Goat Cheese
Fig-Almond Balls (mine was just a spread)

vegetalion · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2011 10:24 pm

Oh, with the fig-almond recipe, I didn't have apricots, so I subbed in chopped dates.
