House Of Dreams Benefit Pics And Stuff
Thanks to everyone who came out for the House Of Dreams benefit dinner Friday night! It went so well that we are going to make it a regular thing. We’ll pick a different local animal organization each time. As Michelle and I were shopping for the tchotchkes for the tables we thought that that might be a good way to decide which cause to support. If we’re going by animal figurines then pigs and bunnies are the front runners.
We’ll be putting up a new site soon, specifically for the benefit dinners, but it won’t stop there - we’ll also give you all the info you need to set up dinners like these in your community. Because we’re all knowledge spready like that.
Vegan Addict posted a review of sorts of the whole thing, so check that out, too!
Pics from Katie Sweetpea:
Cornbread stuffing with homemade sausages in a baked acorn squash. Also, smoky grilled tempeh with mushroom ragout over kale.
Kitty cat gingerbread cookie over caramelized apples with ice cream and caramel sauce. I didn’t have time to make the ice cream myself. Oops.
Salad with toasted walnuts, red bartletts, roasted golden beets and caramelized shallots
Heather and Lisa building salads
Ummmm, that wasn’t on the menu!
That’s how I look when I grill - just straight up sexy and flawless
Alan eats kitties! WTF!
Katie rocks the ice cream I stole from Food Fight

that looks like a lot of work but a lot of fun. I was thinking “wow” and “neat” and various other terms of support then I got to the last pic. Way to salute Isa.

Anyway, thanks again! I just posted my entry on this moments ago, and forgot to thank you. But I said other nice things! And I probably thanked you already in person.

The kitty cookie curled up around ice cream is murdering me with cuteness.
And that kitchen…it’s mansion-sized and sparkling! Not fair.
