today we have our holiday party at work

[minxnim]

at 1 o'clock. it's the first one i've ever been to, because i've always been out.

i brought:

2 huge bags of fruit
3 boxes of cookies
and i made lasagna

i had to ask brad the fireman to drive me to work today because i couldn't carry it all on the subway and he refuses to take public transportation.

sunday i am taking freddy on a train for the first time. i hope he doesn't lose his mind and chew his way out of his carrier and attack the train conductor with a switchblade.

*the end*

good luck!

 

[minxnim]

what are the chances that on the one day i am not really supposed to do any work, before my holiday vacation, that 5 clients die and i have to do a buncha work now when their families show up.

 

[deadair]

wow... that's a bummer. on like 19087992345 different levels

is the lasagna vegan? how do you make it without cheese? soy cheese? is that tolerable?

 

[minxnim]

yea i use nutritional yeast flakes to make cheese (the recipe is in the new farm cookbook i think). no one could tell last year that it wasn't real cheese. they ate it all.

 

[avi]

yum! I make awesome gravy with nutritional yeast. so good.

 

[xfer]

what's "nutritional yeast"?

 

[xfer]

and dudes i like vegan substitutes (i mean, i'm drinking silk nog right now!) but who the heck couldn't tell fake cheese from real cheese?

 

[FuSoYa]

vegans.

 

[xfer]

avi's not vegan, he's a cheese-muncher who tried to convince me to use SOUR CREAM and YOGURT in a dish i was cooking!!!

 

[TheNewChupe]

yeah, i have no idea what nutritional yeast is either.
and cheese made from anything else other than actual cheese should have a different spelling.

 

[FrostGiant]

This fake cheese discussion offends me.

 

[xfer]

yeah man, frostgiant probably feels the outrage i feel when i see people chomping away at CHEDDAR CHEESE PIEROGIES.

 

[FrostGiant]

Mmmm. Cheddar Cheese Pierogies. That sounds tasty.

 

[minxnim]

well it was a bunch of non-vegan or vegetarians that thought it was just regular lasagna. probably because i'm so italian they just assumed it was 'okay'.
i am not sure i really care if other people care about fake cheese or not... now that i think about it...

 

[xfer]

well, i don't think much of their sense of taste, but i would like to try this educated-yeast cheese stuff at some point!

 

[minxnim]

i dont have time to look for a recipe for the cheese right now... but i have made pizza with yeast flakes and my dad really liked it (he's picky). it's stringy like regular cheese on a pizza and stuff.
i think my coworkers should all give me $20 each for talking a large group of hot fireman into coming to our office party for entertainment dammit.

 

[avi]

hahah preppy the pimp!

a group of large, hot firemen
