the gathering

[Guest guest]

our little pot luck here in melbourne was nice - very small turnout but

nice connections

of course reggie wants to know the food.....

it was more successful in organization - I was a bit more specific.

still quite a mix. I wrote on my invites vegan, no refined sugar, no

garlic but some people were invited by others so there was a quiche and

ricotta something and i made a sign for the garlic dishes etc. but most

were without.

I made three recipes from my Fall cookbook which i am working on -

Sweet potato cous cous, enlightened lotus root salad and chestnut bites

with a xylitol (special occasion) glaze. I forgot the creamy carob

syrup at home :-(

my co-organizer made an amazing red lentil stew and someone made an

indian-ish mung bean soup

there were some lovely rice and tmepeh balls with a coconut curry

sauce, some lovely roast eveggies in lemon juice and olive oil, a tofu,

carrot and broccoli dish, a few rice dishes, bread with mushroom walnut

dip, lots of soaked nuts and seeds and toasted seeds.

in addition to my chestnut dessert there was a quinoa pudding with

maple syrup, currants, sunflower puree and kiwi fruit on top, fruit

platter, apple pie (whose baker did not understand no sugar so i did

not taste that but it looked nice)

the conversation was great and nice to make new connections.

my co-organizer maureen, broought Lucy, the mb cocker spaniel and her

prim and proper elderly mother whose comments and actions caused some

hilarious moments
