June 16 at 11 am is our next get together. Please if you get a chance let Cindy know if you are coming.
It will be a potluck brunch/lunch.
We will be decorating flip flops. If you follow me on Pinterest I do have a board with flip flop ideas.
There are some cute ideas using 3 to 5 different colors and sizes of ribbon, and a couple of different ones using fabric scraps.
So bring a pair or two or three and some scraps or ribbon, buttons and glue and let's see what we can come up with.

Here it is Eileen's wonderful salad!

Spicy Chickpea Salad


4 cups cooked garbanzo beans (or 2-15 oz. cans, drained)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2-1 whole jalapeno, diced

1/2 tsp. lemon zest

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/3 cup roasted, salted cashews

1 ripe avacado, diced chunky

Handful of chopped cilantro (or parsley, basil, etc.)

Mix all these ingredients together.


Dressing:

1-2 cloves minced garlic

1/2 tsp coarse sea salt

1 heaping tsp. whole grain mustard

1 tsp. agave or honey

2 tsp. red wine vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

Mix well and add to the garbanzo mixture a little at a time.

You may not need to add all of it.

Add 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves just before serving.

The Next Great Get Together!

It's hard to believe, yet it's true the next get together is coming up on May 19. We will be meeting at Teresa's home. Bring something to share for our brunch potluck. We will be learning to make a scarf out of a t-shirt (a huge man's is great). Also bring your ideas. Leave me a comment if you need the address or have questions. Please leave a comment if you have something to say or share.
