A potluck of ideas

Mon, 05/04/2015 - 17:18 — Eve

When ten of us gathered for our Spring Potluck in Portland last week, we gazed at the world map on the wall--- dotted with stickers where all of you live--- and wondered if you might be having plant-based potlucks too. I remember that Jana in the Netherlands sent photos of her group last year. We would love to have news and pictures from her again and from anyone else who may be doing this! Meanwhile, I will serve up the latest dishes for our ongoing worldwide virtual potluck. Here is the dish Beth brought on Sunday----Soba Noodles with Sesame Seeds and Bok Choy :

I hope you will enjoy my latest taste discovery ---- a wonderful risotto made with arborio rice and winter squash. It's intended for the pressure cooker but I expect you could do it on the stovetop with more time and attention. It was so good, mine was almost gone before I thought to snap a picture:

Pressure cooker pep rally

We have two new cooks joining our email circle---Tracy Tang in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Barbara who is somewhere in the world but we don't yet know where. Welcome, Tracy and Barbara!

This week's new recipe is for raw Coconut Apple Bars. I started with a recipe from The Raw Food Gourmet and left out the oil and sweetener. The bars turned out well and I was delighted to have a completely healthy energy bar! I hope you will like them too:

A warm welcome to two new cooks who are joining our circle----Desiree in Chandler, Arizona, and Carole Aldstadt, who recently moved from Houston, Texas, to Modesto, California. Carole says "I have joined a Vegan group here as one way to connect with like minded people. I have not found a Thich Nhat Hanh Sanga which meets near me, so am becoming more encouraged to see if I may start one myself; you are an inspiration!"

"The commonality that we all have...."

Our circle keeps growing ---- a warm welcome this week to Mindi Bender in Manzanita, Oregon, Jacqueline Silver in Seattle, Washington, and Andrea Baker in Clackamas, Oregon! You are joining a worldwide group and the map below serves as a sort of group picture of us. Have fun clicking around ----explore the map and see where we all are! Notice that some locations have names attached to them, making our map just a little more friendly. Manzanita, Seattle and Clackamas are on the map now and I would be glad to add your names if you are willing----this goes for everyone!
