Street Sense

A week after Street Sense made sensation at The Derby, on one of the crispest , Cleveland Saturday mornings, of the spring of 2007, we on behalf of ASHA Cleveland tried to make some sense out of the street, anchored in at the Shakers square farmers market, under our beige 10X10 gazebo, with ASHA banner in the back drop. ..and the response was exceptional!


Ripe saffron tomatoes, off white potatoes, green cilantro and red onions all thinly diced into irregularly regular cubes; Dark brown, dates and tamarind chutney and the glowing green mint chutney and lightly spiced and roasted puffed rice( mamra) along with lot of enthusiasm and good amount of work slicing, dicing and planning, all went into the making of the very palatable and widely popular "Bhel Puri" served for $4 a bowl and "pineapple souffle" made of cream and crushed pineapple. For $3, We offered magic in mehndi, tattoos, which pulled enthusiastic crowd.

All the proceeds goes towards a cause bigger and nobler than me, you and us combined, Education! If YOU would like to make a difference, by volunteering, you could find more details at http://www.ashanet.org/cleveland. "
