The dinner went well for the most part. I made an appetizer of raw veggies and peanut sauce (and I avoided it) but everyone really liked it. Then we had grilled mahi mahi with soy sauce, lime, garlic and ginger marinade and a mango salsa with some tequila in it.  Rice, along with honey and ginger carrots and some way too hot green beans (I had a friend cook them as I grilled and she added all the peppers and I hadn't noticed I had so many on the plate  ). Then for dessert we had fresh mango, strawberries and rasberries with mango and raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream and crunchy pecan cookies but the celiac person didn't eat dairy, sugar or egg whites which I found strange. I don't know what could be wrong with egg whites but not yolks! Has anyone ever heard of this? I said that wasn't from celiacs right? but I didn't get a straight answer. He was very happy with the meal on the whole since most people don't cook gluten and dairy free, but the sugar thing is so irritating!!! I mean there is nothing wrong with it in moderation. (he did have a little). Yet the worst part of it all was that the wife was a battle ax! and pretty snotty. I went through a lot of work planning this and he was so nice and grateful and she was not. But I hope to find some inner satisfaction from it all (I hope  ). Oh it was funny when he couldn't eat the cookies or sorbet and I said I had some safe soy ice cream. He got all excited and read the containers but she was like "no" and for no reason since the soy ice cream was fruit sweetened. Oh well I hope he buys some on his own.
Mango salsa (everything is to taste since I didn't measure)
2 mangos fine dice
1/2 red pepper fine dice
1/2 small red onion fine dice
3T tequila
couple spoons vinegar of choice
1/2-1 lime juice
1t. sugar
some salt
1 mild hot pepper like serrano
1t. olive oil
plenty of chopped mint, thai basil, basil or cilantro or a combination.
Mix ingredients and let it meld for a little while and serve. It is best the same day but after a few hours. I like it served at room temperature.
