So. Updates.
UPDATE 1: That's the last time I have an awesome party. Boo.
UPDATE 2: The food at the party came out rather well, I will say. Should do, I cooked for two days! (many thanks to Sara for helping with that). There were three/four courses at the party and as many recipes. Here's one, a quickie and a personal favourite of mine;
"Tiffin"
Literally a term for tea and cucumber sandwiches. A snack for the afternoon. Especially fabulous on a hot day with iced tea (black tea or green tea is best).
1 Mini bagel
1.5 Tbsp Tofutti brand dairyless cream cheese
About 1/4 of a cucumber
Tea of your choice
Put the kettle on for your tea, fix the tea and leave it to cool. If you're making iced tea, either make it the night before, or pop your mug in the freezer for a good half hour ahead of time.
Slice the bagel and lightly toast both halves, letting them cool completely. You can slice your cucumber whilst you are waiting. Spread the cream cheese over the bagel halves and top with cucumber slices.
If you've popped your mug of tea in the freezer, pull it out and add some ice. Serves one.
Very tasty and satisfying (but only if you get Tofutti brand cream cheese! Trust me when I say that that is the only dairyless cream cheese that worth your time.). Also, Pepperidge Farm sells those mini bagels and they're pretty cheap (also, one tub of Tofutti is just about equal to one bag of twelve mini bagels). Look for the whole grain/multigrain ones, they're the best for you. Additionally, they're only 100 calories each. Sooo, if you follow the recipe, you'll have a fabulous, animal-free snack under 200 calories. Booyah!
