Thinking about the eventual opening of TomTom, I had a vegetarian dinner party for the cast! I love to cook for my friends and thought I could get the boys excited about putting a vegetarian-friendly item or two on their menu one day. What better for the boys than Beer-Battered Buffalo Cauliflower Bites!?

I snacked on these gems while watching the recent episode unfold … and what an explosive episode it was. I assume no one was too shocked to see the girls and I rally together to support Brittany — not even Jax. If Jax had an epiphany about his possible career move, I would think he would include his live-in girlfriend in this decision.. or maybe have a clue what SHE wanted. There probably was a conversation about Florida, but when it comes to Jason, there’s an inkling of truth meshed with major exaggeration.

1 cup milk (or dairy-free milk if vegan)
