Vegan potlucks rock!

Today I hosted another awesome vegan potluck at my house. I’m so glad that a year and a half or two years ago I got over myself and finally showed up to one of the lunches. I think I’ve only missed one since. Can’t beat the people or the food.

I took pictures of my contributions and then promptly forgot to take any more pictures after people started arriving. Oh well. I made a gigantor pot of Turkish Mixed Legume and Bulgur Soup. The recipe was from Olive Trees and Honey: A Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World. Chickpeas, navy beans, red lentils and bulgur.

And then, I made Bryanna’s Rose Scented Baklava. I’m always looking for an excuse to make anything with rose water. Filo dough is kind of a pain to work with. Mostly because I’m a freak about getting anything oily or greasy on my hands. It really bugs me. But it’s worth it every once in a while.

All out of ideas

Yep, it’s official, 24’s writers are all out of ideas. No wonder I fell asleep when I tried to watch Monday night. I’m going to switch to watching Heroes Monday nights and streaming 24 instead of the other way around.

Heroes, on the other hand, just keeps getting better. Let’s see if it’s sustainable. It seems like what they should do is wrap up Heroes in about 6 more episodes…and then stop. But you know they probably wouldn’t do that. They’d rather beat every bit of life out of it until it’s unwatchable. Then cancel it.
