I would have shoved her face in the macaroni, and then found the client and done the same. Of course, this would happen only in my mind as the client is always right. Damn them....and their money.

Gee, I didn't know salmon was a vegetable...

But, if you are thinking about a new recipe to post, I vote for the Mac and Cheese. Sounds fabulous. (Unless it's a house secret.)

Actually, do you know any good do-ahead-and-freeze recipes? I think those would be extremely popular. I like to cook but only on weekends.

Damn those pesky vegetarians! Hah!

I was at a formal event in December. I requested a vegetarian meal 2 weeks in advance. I received the meal and it was gorgeous. The only problem was the amount of broccoli in it. I HATE BROCCOLI. I ate most of it though because I didn't want the staff to think I was rude after they went to the trouble of preparing the meal for me.

I would've eaten the mac and cheese leftover right off their plates if I had been there!

We used to have a some regulars that were veg heads, as in like 4 couples. Whenever we would get new ones we would always tell them to call ahead and we would do them a little 5 course tasting menu. Those folks were always cool, they appreciated the effort, care and attention, and the call ahead habit, gave us time to get them a decent meal together. One I like was roasted eggplant wrapped in THIN potato slices, roasted, served on wilted spinach with a carrot juice reduction. (like an eggplant canneloni)

Those two "no food with a face "faux vegetarians" should have taken five across the eye from you and every member of your crew. Or she should have kept her fish breath mouth closed about it. You have great restraint.

I would hve killed her. Or I would have killed the idiot client who forced you to make the mac&cheese. Velveeta? That isn't cheese, thats plastic! Kill them, all of them, then see if people taste good as pot roast.

Mac and Cheese recipe, please. Am wiping drool off chin just writing this.

I'd love to see the Macaroni and Cheese recipe!

Oh, please, could you shove *my* face into that macaroni and cheese? I would happily eat my way out.

Maybe all that plastic cheese will build up in their systems and kill them.

I fifth the posting of the recipe.

VELVEETA!?!?! That is moronic!

But, I'd be much more upset with the Client...as he positioned them a vegetarians...not just non-red meat eaters.

Just came upon your site for the first time...it's great!

There's a post on my blog How to be a vegetarian in a restaurant. I definitely have the same struggles as you when it comes to people identifying themselves as vegetarian when they most assuredly are not.

Lots of people call themselves vegetarian but they eat seafood, or worse, chicken. I always ask, "Since when to fish and chicken grow on trees?"

This usually gets me confused looks, but I try to point out that fish and chicken are not vegetables. They are meat.

And they say, "Well, I mean, I don't eat red meat," and I say, "Then why not say that, and not call yourself a vegetarian when you are not one."

But there is actually a name for vegetarians who eat seafood (other than goofass), and that is "pesco-vegetarian."

An oxymoron, but there we are.

Hey, Morganna-kid. I see you are venturing further out into the food blogosphere! Have fun!

If I'd hve been at their table - i would have eaten the mac and cheese they'd left behind.. Much prefer it to salmon, especially if homemade. Yours sounds yummy. One more vote for the recipe.

You know, people like that deserve having Macaroni and Cheese thrown on them from time to time.

Pain in the ass would be a mild term for that woman....

Fish is not meat for Catholics :-)
They prefer Kraft Macaroni & Cheese??!! They probably like spaghettios also.

Pesco-vegetarians?

My, my - everyone just has to have a name!

Pesky vegetarians more like.

Imagine if all the meat-eaters showed up and loved the baked cauliflower in roquefort sauce and the potatoes baked in stock and cream and the buttered spinach so much that they left the meat ...
