East Bay Living Foods AUGUST Potluck-great write up

[Guest guest]

This is a very good write up, especially the

GUIDELINES to potlucks.

 

The write up reminded me of something, that it's

really amazing what some people bring to a potluck. I

think my funniest event is at a non-raw potluck, is

when someone brought a tiny jar of store-bought

pickles as his/her potluck dish. This person was so

proud of the pickles that it was personally offered to

each participant. I don't think there were any

takers.

 

sign Sunny. And boy do I have more stories to tell.

Loree Taylor Jordan, renowned

holistic health practitioner, author and speaker is

this month's

speaker. Her presentation

title is " It's Your Bottom Line -- Detox for Life! "

Loree says, " PAY

ATTENTION! " when your body

screams for healthy. Known nationwide as the " colonic

queen, "

Jordan shares the importance of

colon health, detoxifying the body (not just the

colon), altering

diet and making lifestyle

changes that protect you from cancer and other

killers. Losing both her

parents to cancer gives Loree a

" from the heart " passion and perspective to stop these

diseases.

Simple, direct and outrageously

funny, Jordan has helped thousands of individuals

restore their

health and live happier, longer

lives -- from the bottom up! You can find out more

about Loree at

her website

is a matter of choice, not

chance. "

 

GUIDELINES FOR THE POTLUCK: We

request that EACH person bring a dish to serve about

eight to ten people (if there

are two of you, bring enough to serve 16 to 20). With

a dish there is

a $3.00 donation. Without a

dish it is $8.00. No one will be turned away for lack

of funds.

Money is used to cover our

expenses of rent, cups, utensils, plates, phone line,

fliers, business

cards, etc. (It is ecologically

beneficial if you remember to bring your own

RECYCLABLE

PLATE.)

 

GUIDELINES FOR FOOD are: raw,

organic (at least pesticide/herbicide-free),

vegetarian

(vegan -- no animal products).

Please make sure everything is well washed. Nothing

cooked,

steamed, baked or otherwise

heated above 110 degrees (no maple syrup as it is

boiled; no tofu;

no chocolate). If in doubt,

leave it out. We ask that you clearly label your dish

at the potluck if

it contains HONEY (raw, unheated

honey) because some vegans do not eat honey as it is

considered an animal product.

Dried fruit (dates, apricots, figs, etc.) blended with

a little water

makes an excellent sweetener for

recipes. Check out www.living-foods.com for recipes

if you

haven't taken any raw food

preparation classes yet.
