Hi Nancy! Vegan coffee bars sound delish! I'm going to have to try to
recreate a frozen food item that I had recently...it was 'manchurian dumplings'
in a tangy garlic sauce made by Green Guru...very tasty. Short list of
ingredients and already vegan, but I know I can make it at home for less &
fresh. Now that the weather is getting hot, I probably won't be doing too much
cooking though.

I'm off to search for a Lebanese salad dressing recipe...tried a local Lebanese
place the other night for the first time and it was awesome...had gone by the
hotel that it's in for years but never realised that they had a fantastic
restaurant inside.

Cheers,

Fritz
