I have so many photos and stories of the past week to share with you guys, however I have been busy… being lazy :P

Should get them all up tomorrow.  In the meantime, I will have you know I am preparing a vegan dinner party for 7 people at our apartment tonight!  There was a bit of an ethical dilemma there, because only one person attending is vegan (my friend Dom from ski camp), however I decided it would be less rude to cook vegan for all instead of making him a special, separate vegan meal and therefore making him feel like the odd man out.  Or, as he put it “the fly in the ointment” ….?  (fly in the ointment?? wtf!)  haha.  Perhaps an Australian colloquialism (he is Aussie)?

Ze Menu:

  • simple greens salad with cranberry, pomegranates and walnuts with honey vinaigrette
  • persimmon flowers a la Andrea
  • wild mushroom risotto (in mushroom broth and white wine instead of cream)
  • poached pears with dark chocolate sauce

I am off to the hippie grocery store to buy ingredients now.  Hopefully they have everything and all goes well tonight!
