Bflo Monthly Live Food Potluck with 4:00 Smoothie Demo and

 Wild Edibles at 6:00!

Sunday, April 29, 2012, 4:00 PM

Timon Towers Community Room

1015 Delaware Ave., Buffalo 14209, NY (edit map)

Corner of Delaware and W. Utica, the door is on W. Utica. Street parking or we have permission to use the Saturn Club parking lot, right across the street from the W. Utica side!

Each month we'll have a different lively presentation, food demo, or educational talk about our health and well being.


This month before dinner, we're doing a delicious green smoothie demo with samples and recipes, starting at 4:00!


After dinner, Julian Life will enlighten us by talking about local wild edible foods and some tonic herbs, like ginseng, reishi and fruit trees that can grow in this area. Springtime in Buffalo is really here!
This event is open to anyone who wishes to come.  Also see http://www.meetup.com/BeLive/

Required:
Your own plate, fork, spoon and cup.
A vegan, live food dish to share.
Requested:
A dish preferably without added sweeteners (except fruit), or other substances that folks commonly react poorly too.  Soy products, nutritional yeast, gluten, mushrooms, xylitol, agave, molasses, and other substances are common problems for many people, so please try to be considerate when preparing your dish.  If you prefer to use these ingredients, consider making your dish in two bowls, one with all your usual ingredients and one without the ingredients listed above.
Optional:
We love to eat local, organic and home-grown foods especially.
In the past there have been demonstrations on how to grow wheat-grass, how to open a young coconut, how to make a delicious green drink, and more.  Come and learn, share and grow with us!
If you're new to raw vegan cuisine entirely, consider bringing something simple, such as a sliced melon, or washed leaves of lettuce with a cup of chopped tomato and fresh-squeezed lemon juice in a small bowl with your favorite seasonings for dipping the lettuce in to.  (It's great when folks bring plain lettuce leaves with them.  It makes it possible to turn any dish that someone brought into a lettuce-wrap!)
This event repeats on the last Sunday of every month except holidays.  On holidays there may still be a potluck during the month, but on a different date.  Because meetup will schedule these automatically, it may actually show as happening on a Sunday that is a holiday when it is not.
