Thai Delight for Two:

Some Thai Restaurants sell a soft vegetable roll, wrapped in soft rice paper and containing rice noodles, mint and a few veggies. It usually comes with a sweet sauce. Ca-Am in Berkeley does this really well. This dish builds on an order of these rolls.

Divide up the rolls on two plates.

Thinly slice crisp, cool, watermelon, and form six one inch squares of it on each plate.

Peel and slice a Kiwi lengthwise in sections 1/8th inches thick and array these on the plate tastefully.

Cut two strawberries in half and arrange on the plates.

Take a small handful of basil and mince over all of this.

Add about 10 large raisons to each plate scattered through.

Pour the sweet sauce evenly over both plates.

Optionally you may mist or dribble a bit of lime or lemon liquor over the whole thing.

Add one scoop of coconut mint-chip ice cream (available in Whole Foods and other health-food stores)

Enjoy all of the combinations separately.
