Raw Food Diet in Rosarito

The Mongolian Grill News


August 2010

July has been an awesome month for us as well as for Rosarito businesses in general. Our sign on the freeway has brought many new customers our way as well as served as a reminder that we’re still here to those who haven’t visited us for a while. When you’re away for a spell, we really do miss you. We thrive on your repeat business.

We were pleased that USBC allowed us to cater their Hawaiian Luau luncheon. In addition to feeding the 104 people present, I had the opportunity to dance a few hula songs with some of the ladies from my dancercize class. It was fun for us even though we were a little nervous.

To shed a few pounds before dancing the hula, I went on a 5 day raw food diet and lost 7 pounds. The raw food diet is a diet based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, nuts, dried fruit, and seaweed. I want to do it again for another 5 days and want to know if any of you want to join me. From all the ends and peelings of the vegetables that we cut up, I made a healthy broth. Everyday I heated the broth up and added raw veggies and cut up avocado to make a hearty soup. I also took melons, grapes and other fruits and blended them with spinach and other veggies to make a drink in the mornings. For snacks I had grapefruit, apples, and nuts (but not too many). I will be selling the soup for $60 pesos if you want to come in. Of course you can do it yourself at home, but I have all the veggies already cut up and vegetable broth, rich with vitamins. Your body gets a real good cleansing. The first 2 days are the hardest. Chris and I are starting tomorrow, Friday the 30th, but feel free to join us anytime.

For those of you who do not want to diet, come in and try our Thai Coconut Curry with Chicken, Shrimp and Bamboo Shoots. We will try to serve this every Friday and on some Saturdays.

Dancercize is free and is held on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 a.m. This coming Tuesday, August 3 will be the last class until August 24. NO DANCE CLASS FOR 2 WEEKS! We’ll be going to Rio de Janeiro for a week and then we need time to recuperate and catch up on things.

Our August Bunco luncheon will still be held on Wednesday, August 11 at 1:00 p.m. and we will be having our “make your own Asian Chicken Salad bar” available with our 3 different dressings (Chinese Rice Vinegarette, Mandarin Orange, and Thai Peanut) and toppings. The cost of $15 includes lunch, beverage, dessert, tip, and contribution toward Gift Certificate Prizes to other restaurants. For 24 players, we give out $40 for 1st place, $20 for 2nd place, $20 for lowest score, $20 for most buncos, and $10 gift certificates for highest scores in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Please email the_romeros@yahoo.com (underscore between “the” and “romeros”) to reserve a spot.

Hope to see you soon . . . Lee
