Thanks for the invite, but I'll decline. I know myself and I know what I like and your potluck won't have any of it.

But enjoy yourselves.

Actually, Lisa said she was going to make a Yule Log, which is pretty freakin' impressive.

I'm looking forward to the desserts, mainly!

This is something I've never quite understood. I'm a main course person and never eat dessert. At the vege club meeting last month where we visited the vegan ice-cream place a few of the attendees admitted to only really coming for the ice-cream. Ideas on why people might prefer the dessert part more?

Some people prefer sweet things, others prefer savoury (or sour, bitter, etc).

Personally, my love goes first to savoury foods, then to sour. But I like dessert too, if it's not overly sweet, and especially if the quality is good. I also like baking a lot, so I tend to have dessert fairly often.

Ideally, I like a balance.

I used to like "Balence" (and "Power" ) bars back in the states.

I'm pretty sure I'll bring too much stuff as usual - mostly vegan...

What a great turn-out! Beautiful food too-- curries, spring-rolls, latkes, pasta...

Lisa's apartment could have held 40 people easily (probably in the bathroom alone) so next time we'll have to bring our dancing shoes and do something with that extra space.

I enjoyed meeting everyone and was particularly pleased to see a bunch of Korean vegans/vegetarians there too. The next meeting will be on the first Sunday of January.

Thank you Lisa for hosting us, and to everyone else for coming!

The potluck was really lots of fun. I'd be glad to host another one again sometime.

Mmm so much good food.

It was great to meet everyone, too. Smile

ZOMG SEOUL VEGAN GROUP IS SO FOR THE WIN! I'll be there providing I don't have to wack some cab driver to get there. I've sworn off contract killing until the holidays are over and I'd hate to slip off my goals on a freelance job.

'sides they pay so poorly.

I'm not a vegan so no clue what to bring other than some drink. Any requests for me in the hard liquor department?

Hehe, it already passed, Dan. The meetup was yesterday. But you could come to the next meetup. I don't think it'll be a potluck; probably a vegetarian restaurant, though that's just a guess and you should ask Kermo.

I'm not vegan either, btw. It's actually a vegetarian club, not a vegan one. Though there are a lot of vegans, and I think that's awesome. And meat-eaters are welcome to events too, if they want to hang out with vegetarians over a veggie meal.

The last time "Dan" came to a veggie club meeting I was still the club president, and only two people showed up.

Since then, he's stated his intention to attend, but he's always been a no-show for one reason or another (eg: conflicts with his hiking club ...)

Anyway, his posts at least keep our threads going - so he's helping promote vegetarianism in his own way ... Cool

Like "kermo" noted, "littlelisa's" spacious apartment does have potential for more than just a vegetarian dinner gathering.

Unfortunately, "kermo" mentioned dancing, and there is enough room for that. There's also a piano there. How about a talent show or a karaoke contest? (Of course, I'd be a lock to win...)

Or we could film a parody of "Dancing With the Stars" (featuring celebrity posters from "Dave's") and post it on YouTube for instant fame - if not fortune...

I'll be in Seoul this spring (hopefully) and seeing these posts gets me excited. I'm a vegan and one of my biggest concerns about coming over is finding new places and foods to eat w/o meat and dairy. I'll be joining the club once I arrive!!!

Right on. PM me your email address and I'll make sure you're on the mailing list (I'm the veggie club prez.) I haven't updated the blog or the facebook page, but there are always meetings on the first Sunday (usually lunch) and 3rd Saturday (often dinner) of each month.

Will this be a lacto-ovo party? I make wicked, evil and devilishly delicious deviled eggs. All washed back with a vodka tonic.
