NY Times again! + April at Frugal Foodies

[Guest guest]

My favorite newspaper (probably the best Newspaper in America), wrote ANOTHER

article of a Bay Area VEG restaurant. The author says UBUNTU

www.ubuntunapa.com, is one of two most promising new restaurants in America.

What a BIG BIG compliment!

There's no way anyone can have the best answer........since there's thousands of

new restaurants opening every month!!

%2C+to+choose++march+19%2C+2008 & scp=1

(if you have problems opening, pls email me, I can give you a smaller link.)

 

This is amazing, the Bay Area has never received so much INTERNATIONAL exposure

on our veggie restaurants. One reason our area is special, is we have the best

local wine and PRODUCE in the world...

 

(by the way, my girlfriend got a job in the wine industry,,,,hopefully she can

share some vegan wines tips with us-great, huh, Das?)

==

the last Frugal Foods event, there were 5 female and 1 male veggies at the

event, the rest were meat-eater (I " m guessing). The total attendance was 12

female and 4 males. So veggie guys, this is one event there are more females.

(yes, there's more veggie females than veggie male. Veggie guys don't believe

me, but there's hard data out there. The females don't come out as often)

 

below are the latest cooking club schedule, Moses doesn't know what recipes

he'll be using till we get closer to the event. If you are interested in an

event and want more vegan entrees; just say you are interested in attending

4/xx day and would like to have vegan entrees. (a lot of positive

encouragement can help) Vegans pls make sure you confirm with him how many

entrees are vegan. I don't want you to get disappointed.

 

I signed up for the 5th Tuesday of the month, hope to see you... I met 3 new

veggie gals at the last event: A, L, T.... and by the way, Vegan Gina is a

really cool lady... I " m NOT setting anybody up, but all those veggie gals

are very nice and good looking. I'm glad to see that, so people can realize

veggie food can make you " good looking, good loving person "

 

Maybe more " vegan b*tches in the kitch " (it's a name of a new cooking book) are

coming soon..

 

It would be great to have a big gathering where all the closet veggies come

out!

April at Frugal Foodies

 

April is a five Tuesday month at Frugal Foodies

so we'll have all the regular stuff plus a very

special fifth Tuesday. It's also a quirky month

because three of the five nights fall on

pseudo-holidays including April Fools Day, Pay

Uncle Sam Day, and Earth Day, and perhaps we'll

do something special for each. But before

telling you about all the nights, an important

note from the management©While we've been selling

out most every night at Frugal Foodies over the

last couple of months, I'm instituting something

new that you might want to join to address the

occasional night when we're a bit underd:

 

Last-Minute Mailing List: as you likely know,

Frugal Foodies sends out one general email a

month-this one-but we've not had a way to let

people know about last-minute openings that may

arise. That is, until now. So now, you have the

choice of putting yourself on the Last-Minute

Mailing List, which means that you'll get an

email from me, generally 24-72 hours before a

night when there are several open spots. So if

you'd like to be put on this special list, please

send me an email with " Last-Minute Mailing List "

in the subject line, and I'll add you to that

list.

 

As for what's coming up this month, here goes:

 

Tuesday, April 1st-while it's April Fool's Day to

the rest of the universe, it's Cuisines of the

World Night at Frugal Foodies. And we're up to

the letter O. But since there's only one country

that starts with the letter O, we're going to

join forces with the letter P and enjoy food from

such places as Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Peru,

and the Philippines. That's a good culinary line

up, no? Oman it is! Sorry for the cheap pun-the

food will be better than that, I promise.

 

Tuesday, April 8th-it's Cooking the Books Night

at Frugal Foodies, and we'll be featuring an old

vegetarian standard. This month we'll be cooking

all our dishes from the Cabbagetown Café

Cookbook, by Julie Jordan. This was actually one

of the very first vegetarian cookbooks that I

owned and it's filled with lots of hearty and

relatively easy recipes. According to a review,

" This book is a treasured collection of over 175

of the cafe's 'greatest hits,' including

appetizers, breads, salads, soups, pasta, pizza,

quiches, Mexican entrees, Indian dinners, Sunday

brunch, and dessert. 'A down-home vegetarian

guide with lots of good nutrition,

straight-forward, inexpensive recipes and a good

deal of the author's unassuming charm.' "

 

Tuesday, April 15th-it's Tax Day in the US and

Guest Chef Night at Frugal Foodies. Fact is that

while I've lined up guest chefs for May and June,

I'm still working on April so it's Mystery Guest

Chef that you'll be signing up for (I'll try to

post updated info on the website as I have it).

But not to worry, guest chef nights are the

quickest to sell out and I'm sure that you'll not

be disappointed if you register for this night,

chef unseen. I look forward to seeing all the

adventurous types out on this special night. Are

you up for the magical mystery tour?

 

Tuesday, April 22nd-this is a big night in that

we'll not only be enjoying honey as our special

guest ingredient-it will be in every one of our

dishes-but this will also be a benefit night for

a local cause. And it's Earth Day, so in April,

we'll be raising funds for the garden and cooking

program at Dover Elementary School in San Pablo.

Funds will help provide the food ingredients

necessary to continue the cooking projects so

much enjoyed by the students at Dover. Aaron

Reaven, one of the nutrition educators at Dover,

will show photos of past lessons and projects at

the school and will discuss the values and

benefits embodied in the Dover program. To learn

how the benefit nights work at Frugal Foodies,

please visit http://www.frugalfoodies.org/benefit

before you sign up. So come for the honey, or

come to donate your money. It's going to be a

great way to cap off Earth Day so sign up soon.

 

Tuesday, April 29th-it's a rare fifth Tuesday so

we'll be doing another Greatest Hits Night at

Frugal Foodies. We've not had one of these

nights for at least six months so there will be

lots of tasty treats to cook, eat, and take home.

This means that we'll be revisiting some of the

tastiest dishes from recent guest chef nights,

amazing cookbooks, and our culinary travels

around the world. The long and short of it is

that you'll have one of the best $7 meals you've

ever had.

 

Please remember that you must pre-register for

all nights at Frugal Foodies, and may do so by

sending an email to info. And

before signing up, please be sure to read the

website, and especially to check out

http://frugalfoodies..com/ThingsYouShouldKnow. I

look forward to seeing you at a Frugal Foodies in

April©Moses

I will try ask the organizer to have another vegan cooking night. I know for

sure there's an event coming where 70% should be vegan... again, I'll do more

begging and research.

 

note: Frugal Foodies is held in a vegetarian household, cooking mostly organic

produce

 

the above are my personal comments, sorry if I offend anybody
