THE EVENT

Well Friday has passed and we had a great time at the (LESBIAN HOME DINING) event. We were a total of 13 wimmin for food 11 of us had been together before 2 of the wimmin were there for the first time. I made seitan also known as wheat meat, one of the wimmin had a wheat allergy so she did not eat the seitan, however she loved the kale, parsnips and brown rice. None of the wimmin had ever tasted seitan, and 4 of them had never tasted kale nor parsnips, so that was a great experience watching them eat something they had never eaten and all of it was plant based. The banana fruit cream was a great surprise to everyone, no one had ever tasted frozen fruit pushed through a champion juicer before and thought it was ice cream, they were very surprised when i told them it was simply fruit, no sugar no nada just frozen fruit. They were very impressed by the folded napkins and wanted to know how did i learn to fold them, i told them i went to a restaurant that i knew folded napkins and told the womon there that i wanted to look at the folded napkin on the table because i wanted to see if i could learn to fold a napkin and she showed me how. We stayed together for 5 hours talking, laughing, eating and just being wimmin together. I asked if they wanted to continue to come to my apartment for the next 3 Fridays or if they wanted to to move the (LHD) to another place they all agreed they would like to stay here for at least the next 3 Fridays. One womon wanted to know if the food next time would be all plant based, i told her that all the food at my apartment for the (LHD) would be plant based and asked if that was OK with them, they all said yes. One womon said it was fine with her but was it possible to have some sea food at one of the events i answered yes,little did she know that the sea food would also be plant based. I asked them if they liked the music i was playing 5 of them said yes the others just nodded their heads, i think i could have picked something a little quieter. Everyone left smiling and happy and so was i,they had left as donations the following, 8 organically grown mangoes, 1/2 bushel of green beans, 5lbs of organically grown basmati rice and $70 dollars, i thank them and already knew what was going to be on the next menu, we kissed each other good night and that was that for now. I know i do like this and i think they do also.
