January 11 & 13, 2008

There seems to be some debate about whether it was January 13, 1957 or 1958 or some other close by date as to the date of the original plastic, Whamm-O Frisbee, first called Pluto Platters (so as not, I assume, to impinge upon the rights of the Frisbie Pie Company, whose disposable and regularly tossed about pie tins were pretty clearly the impetus behind the invention, and not at all to be confused with Pu-Pu Platters). That, however, is of no matter, it was close enough for me to call it the 50th anniversary weekend of the invention of the official Frisbee, which got me thinking about summer time, out of doors, hippies, vegetarian food, you can see the logical train of thought, no? It was a perfect time to offer up another of our vegetarian dinners.

Thoughts from some of our guests:

"We had a wonderful time and made a few friends. L... went out to dinner with us a few nights later, and we have been corresponding with B.... We thought the experience was wonderful. We know you had to spend time in the kitchen preparing the wonderful meal. Our only comment is that we wished you could have joined in on the dinner table talk more often." - J.K.W.
