Default party ideas

we are having a housewarming party (almost 3 mo. after we moved in! oops!)
and my family knows that i am vegan so they will probably bring steaks and
things to burn if they so desire but i was wondering if anyone had any good
ideas for other items that we can have too. my family isn't really friendly
to the things i eat and it has gotten to the point were carrots and hummus
are the only things in my fridge that my sisters will touch.
maybe some watermellon salad? something summery.
i'm sure that 90% of you have been here before so just trying to get some
ideas!

i don't know if i want to buy any meat. i am going to school for cullinary
and i can cook meat, i just prefer not to. if they want to bring it and cook
it that is ok, but i wanted to be able to provide them with an alternative,
i see your point about not lecturing but half my family is married in
italians, so food and heated disscussion goes hand in hand.

And least you're open enough to let them bring their own meat. Most of
the other vegans here would have a fit about that. What alternative did
you have in mind that they would enjoy and you can live with? Consider a
DIY kebab buffet where you provide the veggies, grill, and skewers and
your family brings in whatever meat(s) they desire. Or something like
that. Go by their familiarity rather than your peculiarity. That way
everyone will partake of the same things, just differently.

I hadn't thought about that. I think I will try that. the carnivores won't
even realize that some people don't have meat on theirs!

===================
You're inviting lions and tigers to your party? That would be
the only "carnivours" in attendance. You're reliogion is so
extreme that you can't even use words correctly, eh killer? I
suggest that the meat might have caused fewer deaths of animals
over all than your meals. Especially if you partake of tofu
faked meats.

That's the whole idea, and that way nobody is put off by lack of one
thing or the presence of something else. I've also done similarly with
DIY stir-fries where a variety of ingredients are arranged so everyone
can pick out vegetables, some fruits (e.g., pineapple), sauces, meats,
etc., on a plate or bowl and then I cook them and have bowls of rice or
noodles to accompany at the table. You said summery, so I thought
grilling kebabs would work better than a stir-fry.

Hmm, I wonder if you would patronize a vegan guest if they expressed
concerns about having their food cooked on the same grill that meat was
cooked on?

You invited NO carnivores to your dinner party, fool. It's
strickly used by vegan loons as an emotive spew to make yourself
'feel' better about your self-marginalization.


>>"You're reliogion" ???

===================
Yes, veganism IS a religion, killer.

LOL Proof again that veganism isn't about the death, suffering,
or explotation of animals. Besides, far more animals died for
your veggies than for the meat I'm grilling tonight.

Since your non-animal clothing isn't cruelty-free either,
here's a couple to cover some problems with cotton.

To give you an idea of the sheer number of animals in a field,
here's some sites about *just* mice and voles. Note that there
can be 100s to 1000s in each acre, not the whole field.

To cover your selfish pleasure of using usenet, and

You say you grew up on a farm (either in Quebec or Ohio -- whichever you
decide today).

I am a simple farm girl from
Quebec, we are esily confused.

Since you grew up on farms from Quebec to Ohio, you should know that a
variety of animals are killed in the course of agriculture. Mammals,
birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, etc., are killed by use of pesticides
and herbicides. All these species are also killed when fields are
planted, harvested, irrigated, or burned. Furthermore, animals are
killed intentionally (i.e., warehouses are required to apply pesticides)
and unintentionally when transporting and storing your grains, legumes,
and produce; the pollution from all this production and transportation
also kills animals, including humans.

How much of your diet is produced locally? How many foods of tropical or
transcontinental origin do you eat?+

well I was born in Ohio in 84 I moved to Quebec in summer of 85 with my
grandparent then moved back to Ohio summer 89 to go to school. and have
lived in Ohio until today. I had to move back with my parents because I
wasn't eligible to attend school in Quebec. there is my life story would you
like to know my fav. colour? (it's orange just so you know)

Then you're not from Quebec, top-posting liar.

Where will you live tomorrow?

Why did your grandparents drag you off to Canada away from your parents
in the first place?

> there is my life story


*deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep yawn*

> would you like to know my fav. colour?


Not especially. I just wanted you to make up your mind about your residency.

> (it's orange just so you know)


That's one of mine, too, but for another reason.

> i'm glad that you guys like to watch us tapdance,


That's all you vegans do.

> as long as we're amusing you.


Right now, you're just boring me. Now tell me how you managed to get in
so much trouble for telling that woman about the french fries if you're
the store manager. Was your supervisor within earshot? Or is this, like
your residency issue, another part of your tangled web?
