Last night I went to a party buffet and as the birthday grrl wasn’t sure whether there’d be anything vegan among the Moroccan caterer’s food, I offered to bring something myself.
Top: chakchouka (a kind of ratatouille that can be eaten either hot or cold, made from roasted peppers and tomato)
Bottom: spinach spread
Not shown: pide bread — okay, that’s Turkish ;)
On a party you’re supposed to have something sweet as well, so I pulled a cranberry muffin from my freezer, made a pink glazing of powdered sugar and cherry syrup and topped it off with some cherries. Perfect, as there was pie for dessert.
Now can you guess what’s in the present? ;)

A book, a book! Which one?
And… did the Moroccan caters have something vegan that you tried? Or did you never find out for sure? The bento looks yummy, too.

That’s right Judith: a book! Not one that you like though… The Wasted Vigil by Nadeem Aslam in Dutch.
There was couscous with veggies but I didn’t really trust the brownish sauce so I only took some plain from the side. Of which I’m glad as my (vegetarian) mother-in-law discovered something resembling a bone in her helping. There was also a big bowl of green olives (of which I took my part ;) and the hostess had made a nice salad so I went home with my belly filled. :)

No, indeed, not a book I liked, but it’s nice that you bought a favourite book for your birthday grrl.

I was guessing it’d be a book too ;) Haven’t read that one yet. Too bad that the caterer did not have anything definitely veggie (which I find surprising, what with so many people choosing to eat less meat), but at least you brought your own delicious dishes! And, did you entice anyone in trying them? :)

What a wonderful treat, both food and book (and wrapping!).
