Thursday 11/27/03 (Thanksgiving):
This post has been added much after the fact... in 2009,
actually. I just realized that I never posted the pics and info. about
this, so here 'goes! :)
Went to a friend's place for a raw potluck. It was a nice
small gathering. Not all of them are raw all the time. After dinner we
had an impromptu little acrobatic look what I can do thingy. It was fun.
We each did some sort of physical trick/feat and shared with each other
how to do things, etc. One of my friends there is a gymnastics coach and
did handstand pushups. I did a bunch of pushups in a row (I think it was
about 23). We did other stuff too, like flexibility and balance things
too, but these are the only ones I specifically remember right now.
I remember some of them commenting on how different our
Thanksgiving experience was than most American Thanksgivings. LOL Here
we were doing physical exercise and acrobatic playing around after dinner
when most people can't move, have to unlatch their pants, etc. and often
simply fall asleep from overeating those heavy, hard to digest things.
Funny though, as even these things were harder to digest than my regular
food. LOL
The pictures below are click-able to view larger. :)
I made a banana creme pie with a crumble crust. I think
it was simply a thick banana smoothie poured into the crust, which was
mis-combined digestive-wise: dates and either almonds or pecans. It was
a big hit.
I also brought my cornucopia basket dealy and put some fruit
in it.
Here's a look at the potluck table:
There were: figs, orange-tahini dessing, my apple pie (yeah,
I made two pies), carob "cookie-goos", salad fixings, avocado
mash, and the banana creme pie and cornucopia already pictured
K, so that's it
