Thank you's

May 17, 2003

Hi all,

We just wanted to thank our May hosts, Marni and Mary Margaret, for recents

events for Bay Area Vegetarians:

- Marni, for a lovely food-filled VFP at her home in the Castro district

(this is our 2nd VFP in this neighborhood, how many more veggies live in

the Castro?)

- Mary Margaret, for a fun and pizza-filled evening at her home in the

Sunset district

May VFP... It was an awesome collection of food with several desserts. I

found several new dishes that I will just have to make! I have some recipes

up from Marni's VFP. I encourage everyone who attended to send their

recipes to me and I'll get 'em up. Several are already available at:

http://www.bayareaveg.org The inaugural book swap worked well, too, and I

think we'll do that again.

Pizza Pizza Pizza... We sampled 2 readily available vegan frozen pizzas --

Amy's and Trader Joe's Ratatouille -- and dined on 6 vegan pizzas from 2 San

Francisco restaurants -- Panhandle Pizza and Pizza Orgasmica. It was a lot

of coordination for Mary Margaret, but with assistance from her pizza

couriers like Lyman & Pete, neighborly cookie suppliers like Joe & Colleen,

and a helpful dishwasher with a sunny-disposition, she made it seem so easy.

In an informal taste test by Bay Area Vegetarian members and their friends,

here's how they ranked and their approximate cost:

1) Panhandle Pizza ($18) **

2) Amy's ($6.69 at Safeway's)

3) Pizza Orgasmica ($20-26 depending on toppings)

4) Trader Joe's ($3.89 at Trader Joe's)

** We ate the previously much acclaimed soy cheeze Panhandle Pizza without

cheeze because they ran out. But it still came out #1.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and the biggest thanks go to our

hosts -- without them, these events would not happen! They are truly our

" Veggie Important People " .

Cheers,

Tammy & Chris
