It was Planet VegMel's birthday! So there was a birthday picnic at Edinburgh Gardens, and the weather was beautiful. I took a whole bunch of photos at the picnic, if you'd like to see them you can check them out at my flickr. Cindy has also done a bit of a round up post!
There were zines (which you can download here)
and badges
and there was lots of food!
For drinks, we started with chamomile lemon iced tea, with maple ice cubes, made by K; and a mango lasso made by the Veganator.
Michael made potato chickpea enchiladas, originally seen on veganise this; Emilly made an eggplant salad; and I made the quinoa avocado salad that has been remixed by many VegMelers.
Toby experimented with tempeh bacon, remixed from Where's the Beef. This was probably my highlight of the picnic, I totally recommend it! Also involving tempeh was Em's gado gado.
In news of other remixes, Carla brought along mock crab cakes, remixed from Cindy and Michael; and Mel made tofu quiches, originally seen at Vicki Vegan and Green Gourmet Giraffe.
Danni made sundried tomato bread and pumpkin + miso muffins (remixes from non-VegMel blogs).
For sweets, Cindy and Michael made PB & choc sandwiches, based on peanut butter alligators and chocolate ganache from Sugarspoons.
K made ginger ripple cake, based on a recipe by the Veganator; Mel made apricot delight, remixed from Green Gourmet Giraffe; and Em made Turkish Truffles, a remix of Mel's rum balls. I remixed chocolate caramel slice, from Johanna's original recipe.
In original recipes, Vicki posted about her peanut butter balls; Johanna brought blueberry cake pops (and they were so amazing); and Carla delighted us with lamingtons.
And that was the potluck, but not the end of the birthday:
two more submissions for that recipe sounds very familiar… previous entries can be found here.
Cindy and Michael remixed a beetroot chocolate cake, originally from the Fairest Feed.
Like Cindy and Michael and myself, Mel remixed Toby's Singapore noodles, a delicious noodle treat.

Wow, what a massive round-up of fantastic food! The whole thing was a great way to celebrate the anniversary. :D
That's so awesome! I love that you guys made a zine & badges!
loved the pot luck even if I am so remiss about trying dishes - just get distracted - love your photo of the cake pops
loved your chocolate caramel slice so much I made it last weekend with soy milk - worked with a larger tin even though when I was making it I was sure it would be too thin - must make it again soon - and have also tried danni's pumpkin muffins recently.
Great round up! So much great food and so glad to see so many remixes. Sorry I was late with my potluck posts!
