>I hope your new year is off to a good start (if not, then it's

>even more important that you read this announcement You are

>cordially invited to participate in the first Vegan Food Party

>(VFP) of 2004. For those who have been to past gatherings, you

>know how much fun we've had sharing recipes and acting as test

>subjects for new culinary trials. The event host also usually

>organize some kind of fun group activity for all to socialize.

>

>So, Yin-Yin and I are inviting you to come to our Sunnyvale

>home for our first VFP event. We haven't had the chance to

>try out new dishes in a while, so this gives us an incentive

>to do so. In addition to the potluck, we will put together

>a slideshow to showcase some of our outdoor trips from the

>past year.

>

>Here are some important notes about our event:

>

>1. We have two cats: one short-hair black Siamese mix (Monty)

>and one big, long-haired orange Tabby (Pigby). Despite our

>efforts at cleaning the house and running the air purifier,

>people who are extremely allergic may still have reactions,

>so please beware.

>

>2. We have found it difficult to heat a not-so-well-insulated

>house comfortably all the time, so, even though we'll have our

>fireplace burning, it would be wise to bring a sweater or light

>jacket along just in case.

>

>3. The party starts at 2pm and the munching commences around

>2:30pm. At around 4:30pm we will start the slideshow, which

>will go on for about 1 1/2 hours.

>

>4. While we like to meet as many people as possible, especially

>new faces, it would be a challenge to host more than 20 people,

>so please RSVP if you'd like to come. Send your RSVP with the

># of people that will come and, if you have an idea, what type

>of dish you are planning to bring, to: " erhhung " .

>I will respond promptly confirming your attendance and, in

>a week or so, I will send everyone directions to our home.

>At that time folks can start making carpool arrangements.

>

>Here are the standard VFP guidelines that I have taken from

>previous announcements:

>

>1. We will provide beverages and snack foods, so you should

>concentrate on the entrees or desserts. You are especially

>encouraged to bring homemade dishes, but, in any case, the

>dish must be vegan and be generously portioned for 6 or more

>servings--if you come as 2 people, you can double the amount

>of a single dish. Be creative and adventurous in your cooking

>--it's perfectly fine if you are trying out a recipe for the

>first time--but do take pride and care in your contribution.

>

>2. We will provide plates, cups, and utensils if you forget,

>but you are encouraged to bring your own dining and serving

>wares. Besides, if you want to take anything back home, it

>will be a lot easier to have a Tupperware container handy.

>Please be eco-friendly and avoid bringing disposables.

>

>3. Please bring an autographed recipe of your dish, listing

>the ingredients at a minimum. This is primarily for people

>who may have certain food allergies.

>
