Today's Vegetarian Lunch: A sugar-filled, calorie-rich, not-so-healthy variety of desserts! We had a Cinco de Mayo desserts potluck at work, also to celebrate a colleague's graduation, and there was pretty good turn out. The Indian dessert plate above has: two types of rice kheer, a semia payasam, gaajar halwa, rasagulla, jamoon and peda, all home-made and pure vegetarian. The Western dessert plate above has: different types of cakes, at least three of which were to be eaten with whipped cream and strawberries, a yummy banana-split cake which also had pineapple pieces in it, a cookie, a tiny muffin-shaped biscuit. By the time I started working through the plate of Western desserts, I was starting to feel sugar-sick. Fortunately, someone brought chips with HOT-and-EXCELLENT home-made salsa just then (the above pic of a hand holding chips is not mine, for the record). I dumped the remaining Western desserts in the garbage, had some chips and salsa, and finished off with an ice-cream cone! Only regret: Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, and the only Mexican dessert at the potluck (sweet bread) came in so late, I had no more space in my tummy left for it.
Vegetarian alert: Most of the Western desserts, of course, were made with eggs in them!
