hello,
I am having a party at my house on sunday. This is just kind of a preholiday get together for members of my family and some friends. My wife is a vegatarian and I am trying to eat raw now (almost 4 weeks) But everyone else are SAD eaters.
This is the kind of thing that most people are bringing things and the focus is on the people not the food.
Anyway someone is bringing a veg platter, some potatoe and mac salads. One aunt owns a deli and is bringing meats and rolls and that kind of stuff. My wife wants to make a salad and prob some cookies (non raw)
Deb(my wife) and I both want some raw food there and just not even talk about it, not trying to make a big deal of it. Just having it there and if people ask, I will gladly tell them.
So I am looking for some ideas for raw things that people have tried.
I will definately have fresh fruit out. Maybe make a fruit salad. There is a great produce store near me and I can whip together a fruit salad in no time.
I am prob going to make some "chow mein" over raw sweet potatoe. I tried that and it was great.
Maybe just put that out there as a salad option. that will go over well.
Might make some maranaria (spelling) sauce, make it more like a salsa and put that out there.
any other ideas? Maybe some desert ideas?
thanks
frank
