So... what do you get when you put four food bloggers at a table together? Strobe-like, seizure-inducing camera flashes, foodie news and gossip, indoor photography woes... I could go on and on, but if you're reading this you probably know what I'm talking about, anyway!
The bread basket came around and we all chose seven-grain bread... sameness was sort of the theme of the night! Josie's makes delicious sweet potato hummus. It's delicious, and seems pretty simple to make (although I've already forgotten the third ingredient besides sweet potato and tahini).
The basket came back... Caroline and I split pieces of cornbread and focaccia.
We all ordered exactly the same thing for dinner: Seared Asian Marinated Organic Tofu Salad with baby arugula roasted vegetables, chickpeas and avocado.
Now, this should have been simple enough, but we all decided we did not want the balsamic vinaigrette the salad came with but rather not one but TWO special dressings... and on the side, please. Ha. Totally worth it, though, because the dressings were amazing: carrot miso and red wine wasabi vinaigrette.
The salad itself was so, so good, and it was nice to be able to dip into two different dressings. It was actually pretty big, so I bagged what I didn't finish and took it home.
We did not, of course, skimp on dessert. They were all vegan and very, very tasty.
Warm pumpkin pie with "soy drizzle" :
Ginger berry pie with oat-y crust and soy vanilla ice cream:
Chocolate pecan pie with graham cracker crust and soy ice cream. This was everyone's favorite!
But, as you can see, we weren't really in the mood for dessert.
That's it for me... I'm brushed and in bed like a good little girl. Hope you've had fabulous Fridays!
