Spring Hangout with Spring Rolls

This event is designed to be lighthearted -- a chance to bask in the glow of hanging out with really cool people while filling your belly with yummy, healthy spring rolls and filling your cup with good tea (or your beverage of choice). Good event for all ages. Come for as short or as long as you like.

ACTIVITIES!
> Make your own spring rolls to your taste
> Puzzle - I have a beautiful 300 piece puzzle with extra-large pieces (easy to see). This is an optional activity of course, but I know from past experience that if a group of people who enjoy puzzles comes, we can complete it in one event. :-)
> Bean Count Guess - Be the closest to guess the number of beans in the jar, and win the jar of beans!
> Door Prize - a beautiful vegan cookbook from member Liz. (Thank you Liz!)
> Possibly more. ;-)

WHAT TO BRING FOR THE POTLUCK
I will supply tea, cups, plates and utensils. I will also supply the spring roll wrappers/rice paper and show you how to turn them from hard disks to pliable sheets ready to roll.

You get to bring one or more of the following ingredients or sauces for our rolls. It's optional, but if you can let me know in the comments below what you plan to bring, I will know where I might need to fill in holes. Thank you!

Ingredients Ideas For You Can Bring
· Toothiness Pieces: Thinly sliced: tofu (plain for marinated), tempeh, seitan, cooked mushrooms
· Noodles: Cooked: rice noodles, mung bean noodles, spaghetti
· Vegetables: Prepared and cut for rolls: carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, red cabbage, lettuce, bamboo shoots
· Herbs: mint, cilantro, basil, green onions (thinly sliced)
· Sauces: peanut sauce, hoisin-peanut, sweet chili, soy-lime dipping sauce, ginger-soy dipping sauce, wasabi (for the pain tolerant among us. ;-) )
· Other: avocado, ??? (am I missing something?)

THE HOUSE DOG
I like to warn people that I have a very friendly, but large and energetic dog. Cake, the Great Dane, loves people and will do his best to make sure everyone has fun and that no dropped food makes it all the way to the ground. He is on the job!

THE ADDRESS
I live in north Eugene In the Santa Clara area. I will be emailing my address the day before the event. If you do not receive that email (because meetup is horrible about helping organizers communicate), please let me know.

KIDS
Please let me know if you are bringing kids so I can be sure to have some special kid-focused activities on hand.
