Solstice Dinner Party

Here is the spread from my winter solstice dinner party the other day. It was a potluck. I made the cabbage rolls, and slow-cooker cranberry-walnut stuffing, and my friends brought: roasted veggies, mashed sweet potato, a salad with orange-ginger dressing, chili, and a spagetti squash stuffed with purple potatoes and other vegetables! Oh, and lots of dessert, which I forgot to take a photo of..


and from the other side..

Djibouti!

Last night was a "Djibouti" themed dinner party (we're getting through the alphabet). Luckily, their food is practically the same as Ethiopian food, which I love!

We bought the injera bread from an Ethiopian restaurant, and then we made three stews:
an Ethiopian split pea stew from the Vegan Lunchbox cookbook, a mixed vegetable stew similar to the one in the same cookbook, and Djibouti lentils: http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/miscellaneous/fetch-recipe.php?rid=misc-djibouti-lentils

It was all very delicious!
