Dinner with the new neighbors :)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

 

 

We had such a good evening, I just had to share.

 

 

 

We (dh, myself and 6 children) just moved to a new town. Our new next door

neighbors stopped by last weekend to introduce themselves and to invite all

of us to dinner last night. We spoke all of 10 minutes, during which I

mentioned that our 2 sons are autistic, we are vegetarian and my 7 year old

is celiac. I was really worried about last night so I made some penne and

soy cheese casserole and the brownies to take (though I chickened out on

trying the tofu for the eggs) so that there would be gluten free food to

eat.

 

 

 

This wonderful woman had researched online to find vegan recipes (she knew

that autistic kids are often milk free and “didn’t know what kind of

vegetarians” we were). And she asked her son-in-law doctor about celiac so

she knew what grains to avoid. It was wonderful. A full baked potato bar w/

homemade chili (I’m going to share the recipe when I get it from her),

grilled tomatoes, salad fixins with homemade dressing (so as to be gf

vegan). I just cannot believe that someone would go to so much trouble. I

was really touched. And her grandkids were there to play w/ my children and

we all had a good time w/o worrying about the food :-)

 

 

 

Hope everyone else had a great weekend.
