Using more olive oil in the pasta dough and letting it sit 30 min should take care of the brittleness.

Well I guess I could tolerate a vegan menu as long as I had a dirty martini to start AND several choices of wines as the meal progressed. Smart of you.

Hey ya’ll, I finally wrote my take on the evening. It’s posted on the HSUS web site at: http://www.hsus.org/about_us/offices_and_affiliates/staff/dinner_in_the_lions_den.html

We don’t have the ability for comments on our site, sadly, but feel free to post any here and I’ll stop back by to see them.

As a vegetarian who reads this blog all the time and loves it, this post was so fun! I love reading about people appreciating food, whether that be meat or otherwise, and food is certainly celebrated here!

(and I would miss cheese like crazy, too)

I agree completely with the desire to avoid “vegan-izing” recipes. I have ties to a college co-op where the meals are frequently vegan. The best meals are the ones that don’t try to hide their nature. The worst are the ones that involve processed soy products.

I feel your pain as we get a couple in once in a while that are raw food vegans. They called last night and wanted a five course meal tomorrow.

I’m with you, Hank. I’ll never be vegan, and almost certainly never vegetarian, but I like my meat to come from the more moral end of the spectrum, and therefore I applaud what you do.

We almost never eat meals that are meat-centric, but we’ll have some (homemade) chicken or lamb broth here, lardons of bacon there, chuck widely dispersed in hearty stews during the winter, and of course plenty of eggs and cream. What interests me is when I end up making a meal and suddenly realize as I’m eating it that it’s vegan. Doesn’t happen often, I can tell you, but I enjoy them nonetheless. Rice noodles with spicy peanut sauce and whatever vegetables are coming in from the garden (most recently chard, cherry toms, snow peas and zucchini). Pizza topped just with thinly shaved potatoes, tossed with rosemary, olive oil, and salt – no sauce needed and purple potatoes look awesome. Or a good old peanut butter and jelly sandwich on homemade multigrain bread. Always takes me by surprise, when a vegan meal slips into my life.

Vegan – Old Russian word that loosely translates to – He who hunts poorly.
