Vegetarian holiday food

Posted by Zennia, November 24, 2007 at 5:35 PM

Half my kids have gone vegetarian on me- protein being the star of most holiday meals, its a problem. My son, Billie, the chef, and I and my husband and one daughter are planning a surf and turf Christmas lunch, and the other kids are coming later. I've asked each of them for the one thing the couldn't resist on a menu, and Billie and I are going to come up with a 7 course vegetarian tasting menu. Wish us luck! My course is dessert- flourless chocolate cake with port ice cream- yummy!

Question of the Day: Ever consider a food-related tattoo?

I have a duck on my right upper arm with a heart and a banner that says DUCK FAT, and below that a bracelet of the native chilepetins- they are small, like THai bird chilies, and have heart shaped leaves, so my husband's name is in one of the leaves. Left arm is a grape bunch with "Zinfandel" above and "Primitivo" below. Bracelet for that arm will likely be basil and tomatoes, but I am also looking for someone willing to do the Time Magazine portrait of Ms. Julia on my back.

Question of the Day: Ever consider a food-related tattoo?

As much as I love food, I can't think of a cool food-related icon I'd want permanently inked on my body. I love pho, but I can't imagine printing a bowl of pho on me. I'd especially be angry if they included onions and cilantro. :P

I suppose I could go simplistic and get a tattoo on my forehead that says:
