Raw Sacramento News Newsletter to Raw Sacramento Thursday, November 28, 2002 * Very best Thanksgiving
greetings to Raw Sacramento from Mark Blackburn. As I write this it is Thursday
November 28 and my 49th Birthday. The whole country will be giving thanks! I am aboard my boat in Daytona
Beach, FL. I hope to make it to Miami by Friday. I left Toronto about 3 weeks
ago, and this has definitely been the vacation and cruise of my life. I
have seen so many beautiful places and enjoyed so many small towns, and
meeting so many kind people. One of the highlights was the 3 times
I ate at New York's 'Quintessence' Raw Restaurant. The food was
absolutely delicious and about 1/3 the price of Roxanne's. They have a very
winning formula in NYC with 3 Quintessences and plans for a 4th in the Bronx very
soon. Sandi Rizzo of the Reno Raw Group took me on a tour of Manhattan
& took me to Quintessence. I have had a remarkable trip. Sadly,
I will need to remain in Miami longer than originally scheduled, so
I will be unable to attend this Sunday's Potluck. However, the
scheduled Holiday Potluck for this Sunday will occur as announced, except it
will be downstairs (Apartment 1) rather than in my apartment (Apartment 3).
This is our annual Holiday Dessert Potluck. (You are welcome to bring
any type of dish, but there will be special appreciation for desserts). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location for Potluck: 1315 F
Street Apartment 1 Time & Date: Sunday, December 1
4pm Theme: Holiday Dessert Potluck Host: Christian Blackburn 224-7035
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Very Best regards, Mark Blackburn aboard the 'Canistel'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Recipe: Here is a recipe submitted graciously
by Jay Soduski one of our members. This was a real hit at our November
Potluck. Thanks, Jay!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ingredients: ****1-2 Handfuls of Fresh
sun-dried raw "Sea Palm" (a type of Pacific coast seaweed) **1/4 - 1/3 cup of Fresh raw
shelled hemp seeds. **1 pint Fresh Del Cabo "Sweet
100's" mini-cherry tomatoes. **3 tablespoons of "Italian"
Spice OR Oregano. *1/4 cup Raw Apple Cider
Vinegar Soak 1-2 handfuls of fresh dried "Sea
Palm" in a glass bowl of purified water for @ least 30 minutes. (Better
if left to soak overnight) Drain off the water, and
marinate the "Sea Palm" in glass bowl with 1/4 cup of raw apple cider vinegar
for approx. 15-20 minutes. Drain off almost all of the vinegar from the
sea palm, but still leaving the sea palm moist with the vinegar.
Sprinkle the hemp seeds generously
(think of it as "mock parmesan
cheese") atop the sea palm. Fold in
extra hemp seeds so the hemp seed stick
to the moist sea palm.
Dress the sea palm/hemp seed mixture
with "Sweet 100" tiny red
tomatoes;
Toss the pasta, then cover with a
nice blanket of the "Italian Spice" or
Oregano seasoning

green salad, and not eaten in large quantities alone or could clog your
