My friend Alex took us out for lunch. Sandra, our Spanish teacher, Maria (Sandra’s sister) and her husband Donaldo and I joined Alex for a bite at NuFood Café here in Coquitlam. Maria and Donaldo are visiting from Colombia. The menu is all vegan with some very interesting dishes. One of their specialties is their raw bread – incredible taste but too heavy for bread. I would serve that as a treat with coffee in little pieces. It is ground up nuts and some seeds with almond milk, etc. and then put into a dehydrator for about 24 hours. We had a nice visit with Alex and I trying to speak Spanish to our guests from Colombia and they in turn, trying to speak English to us. Maria is very determined to learn English and ti shows! she is doing so well. The rest of us fumble a lot … but oh well, its mostly for fun anyway
