The Tofu.
I'm the only vegetarian in my group of friends, but how cool is it that they let me make an entirely vegetarian dinner? Seriously. They all wanted tofu and not chicken. Well, except for one, but she brought some leftover steak to meat-ify her meal. Which is still cool.
The Veggies.
Deep-fried cream cheese pouffies.
Steamed Veggie Eggrolls.
And wine. Of course.
My plate. We'll pretend I just had the one.
It was a wonderful way to end a crazy week. That only lead to a crazy weekend. I left my friend's house around 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. Everyone else stayed. And then it snowed. A lot. I was safe and sound at home, but everyone else was stuck at my friend's. Until Sunday.
In case you haven't heard, Minnesota got slammed with snow. Yes. Slammed. With seventeen inches, my friends. Seventeen inches of snow.
My car.
I wish I was kidding. But no. That was my car as of yesterday. Notice the entire front hood is under snow. Yeah, I had to deal with that. Speaking of dealing with, according to the weather, it's -4 degrees right now. But with windchill, -21. For my Canadian readers, that's -30 C. Why do I live here?
Questions
- Does it snow where you live? Does it snow a lot?
- What did you do this weekend?
- Which sounds better, deep fried cream cheese pouffies or steamed eggrolls?
they BOTH sounds great... (did you make the pouffies??) I'll say egg rolls, that was my first reaction.
ReplyDeleteit snows here, but never that much down here... our mountains + ski resorts get awesome snow :D
however, this weekend our river crested the banks and came up into our yard. not fun, too close for my comfort, especially with a curious dachshund that could just get whisked away. it's back down to normal levels now *whew*.
That plate looks so good and I have a hard time eating veggies!
ReplyDeleteIt never snows where i live which is Southeast Texas
I wrapped presents this weekend, made some ornaments and slept! It was a lazy weekend!
definitely dreep friend cream cheese pouffies :)
WOW! What a great meal! You rock for putting that on. I cannot believe how much snow y'all got. It rarely ever snows in SC. And those steamed eggrolls sound pretty amazing to me.

ReplyDelete... and I thought I had problems. Yep, you win!
ReplyDeleteYour dinner looks AMAZING. The only Chinese I've ever even attempted is fried rice, haha. Don't think it could get much more foolproof than that!
TOFU FEAST!!! haha no one will tell on you for having extras- mmm stirfries are impossible to have single portions of!! especially looking at yours, it would be a shame not to!
ReplyDeletewow! that storm must have run out of snow because it left it all in minnesota. they kept saying that we were supposed to get close to two feet, but we got no where near that much ....
ReplyDeleteThat food looks amazing, I would love your vegetarian meals!! I can't believe how much snow you got!! In Utah we usually have a lot of snow but there has been nothing for a while, it is actually quite nice outside!
ReplyDeletewow, how special are you cooking for your friends! those egg rolls look delicious - love steamed dumplings or things like this! WOW - all that snow!! I've never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteHeidi xo
It looks like you got hit with the same storm cloud we did last week. ;) I thought it might settle down after that, but now we're supposed to get even more snow!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome feast! I'm definitely an eggroll person. I've never tried steamed ones though! I bet they're a lot healthier than the fried ones I usually get haha.
yeah thanks minnesota for pushing back the giants game!! haha i kid but i'm glad you got out in time before you got stuck at your friends!
ReplyDeletehahaha i laughed a little hard when all your friends were cool with 'fu except one who brought steak hahaha atta girrrrl
Do you live in MN? We get snow in Chicago, but not that much!!!
ReplyDeleteYour steamed eggrolls look really yummy!
ReplyDeleteMy car has been hiding in the garage since Friday afternoon:)
Oo nothing better than dinner parties with friends! It's really cool they accept your vegetarian ways too, I am sure it makes things easier and more enjoyable for you. I ask myself the same thing about living in MN haha. I am pretty sure everyone does when snow comes down like this. It's gonna be a harsh winter unfortunately :-( Boo!
ReplyDeleteWhat if we were in Hawaii at the same time??? That would have been awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo neat that your girlfriends let you do a veg dinner! I absolutely love dinner parties with my girls. :)
ReplyDelete17" of snow is crazy! I don't think we got that much, but we definitely have our fair share here in Michigan. :)
Oh my gosh all that food looks delicious(:
ReplyDeleteIt snowed a lot where I live too/: Welll, I live sorta by MOA so we got a tonn of snow. Everyone stayed inside on Saturday.
Both sound awesome to me!!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet another Minnesotan foodie :)
