Since our vegan potluck went so well during Global Go Vegan Week, I thought I would host another vegan potluck for all my veg-head pals. I know they get screwed over during the holidays because family members put butter or cheese in most everything. So let's have a VEGAN FEAST! Bring your favorite vegan dish or a dairy free version of a traditional holiday side dish. Oh and bring your appetite! YUM!
Time: Tuesday, November 23, 7:30pm - 10:30pm
Location:

Free Vegan Dinner and "A Christian Vegetarian Perspective" Presentation

Aldi, a German chain, is short for "ALbrecht DIscount". They offer only the store brand plus occasional specialty items from national brands. They have been criticized for quality, but if you are dissatisfied they have a "Quality Double Guarnatee" meaning that they replace the product AND give you your money back. I've never had to do this yet.
Their website also has a vegan and a vegetarian meal planner complete with recipes and nutrition facts! There are about a dozen locations in Columbus as well as Newark and Heath and sundry otherplaces. Enter your zipcode in the top right corner of the meal planner page to find the one closest to you.
