Are you interested in helping us prepare a 4 or 5 course raw vegan
Christmas supper? If so, please join us on December 26 at my place in
Kerrisdale. We will get together in the afternoon at 4pm to prepare all
the food. The sit down supper will most likely start around 7pm.


Participants will bring the ingredients they want to use. I have a vita
mix and a regular food processor as well as other common kitchen
equipment. We will probably work in teams of two so when you register
please include what you would like to make and we will try to pair people
up.

Exact address will be mailed out a few days ahead of time by either myself (Genny) or Malin.


Thanks
Malin

HAPPY HOLIDAYS :-)

It is that time of year when we all snuggle up with family and friends... and we would love to share that with you, especially if you are an "orphan" and have family far away. Or maybe it is just the two of you, and you would love to hang out with a few more to celebrate... or maybe you just need a break from you own family for a bit ;-) Or maybe, you are bringing your whole family... which is great!

We are having a vegetarian CHRISTMAS POTLUCK DINNER AND PARTY on December 25th starting at 3pm, with music and games and just enjoying one another (is that not actually the real "present" of the holidays... to enjoy each others "presence").

We would love you to come out and play with us, and share some fun and heartfelt joy, and jokes and charades and whatever other kinds of mischief we can create. We would also love to try whatever wonderful and yummy vegetarian dish you consider your most favourite or special. If it is "Raw" that is great, but not necessary, as we are inviting friends and family who are not raw-fooders, and we want to have lots of delicious food. We may have some non-vegetarian items, as well as mulled wine and the usual raw cake (for those of you who know how much we love our raw cake!).

If you could please RSVP as soon as you have decided, as we would love to know how many to expect, for our own prep purposes. And if you could share with us what your special dish is that would be even better. And if you could come with a fun game to play or great story to share or even a joke or song, that would be the best :-)

Though we have a loose time line (below) you are welcome to come out anytime during the day and just hang out. And if you are one of our new raw fooders and don't know how to make something or even where to start... come early, bring ingredients (check with us what, if you want to make one of "our" dishes) and we can make it together. We have lots of fun things we can show you :-)

3pm: "Official" start time
5pm (or so): Dinner
7pm: Games, music/dancing/singing or we will have a fun Christmas themed movie with a BIG screen & projector... depending on what the mood of the moment is.

Looking forward to seeing you!

These mini potlucks are really catching on!
What is a mini potluck? Small gathering of people (host plus 5 guests) that enjoy raw vegan potluck and play a board game or movie after dinner. Last month we played the word game called "Taboo", that was really great! Hope you can join is this time! RSVP soon, as there are not many spots available for this meetup! I ask that those that have attended the mini-potlucks before to please let others try out this time.

If interested, please bring with you:
-a raw vegan (including no honey) dish
-ingredient listing
-Mahara (host) can provide the dishes/utensils if people don't mind rinsing them and put in dishwasher
-a movie or board-game to watch/play later on

The exact address will be e-mailed out to those that RSVP YES a few days before the mini-potluck.

thanks,
Genny

Hello everybody,

I just realized that we have not had a potluck recently. I think it would be good to see everyone again, before we get too busy with Christmas.

To remind the newcomers...

Please bring a raw food dish to feed at least 8 people
There is a $5 entrance fee (to help cover the cost for the host)
Cutlery and plates are provided

I think it would be a great idea when you RSVP if you could announce your dish, so that other people don't repeat too many dishes. And to get the ball rolling... I am making "Delicious Raw Sunny Lasagne". My daughter in law is going to make almond and chocolate macaroons (or a cake if we eat too many before hand!)

Also, if you have a raw food story or journey of healing you wish to share... my son is collecting video testimonials for a health course he is going to be promoting. If you want to check out what he is doing please visit - http://www.7ancienthealthsecrets.com

If you have any questions please give me a call 604-618-9102

Looking forward to seeing you :-)

My awesome vegan roommate Brooke and her two cats have moved back in today. She has tons of stuff she can't fit in her room so we would like to have a "vegan potluck and take my roommate's stuff" event. Details of what this "stuff" is will include will be posted shortly. The day before (Nov 27th) is actually Buy Nothing Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Nothing_Day so I thought having it the day after would be a great idea.

So if you would like to attend, please bring:
a vegan (free of: meat, seafood, dairy, egg and honey) or raw vegan dish (note this is a mix event, there will be cooked people and raw people here, and meetup ppl and facebook ppl too)
ingredient label (i have paper/pen if you forget)
plate, fork, knife, spoon, cup to eat/drink with (I have extra if you forget)
some bags, backpack or something to put your new found treasures in

if you are on the meatless group you can also RSVP at: http://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Meatless-Meetup/calendar/11902078/
and for facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=197407363256&ref=mf

thanks, hope to see you there!

Kombucha is a living health drink made by fermenting green or/and black tea and sugar with the kombucha culture. The result can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what kind of tea you use. It's not what you'd imagine fermented tea to taste like. You can buy Kombucha at the health food stores, but usually it's about 4 dollars or so for a tiny bottle. Home brewing is easy and very economical. Why not learn how to make it?
Subjects to be covered:
Kombucha tea, fermentation, where to find supplies, special teas and combinations.
Class goes for about 1 to 1.5 hrs.
Cost: $20, including a Kombucha culture plus detailed written instruction.
