suddenly, it's all salads

13 weeks, 5 days

all of a sudden, all i want to eat are salads--big, mixed vegetable salads with brianna's new american vinaigrette. i made a big salad for a dinner we went to this weekend with mixed greens, hearts of romaine, yellow pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, celery, julienned purple onion, radishes, and a pile of shredded manchego (yay for the coarse microplane grater!), and as i was eating some of it, it's like something in my head snapped. i was so happy to have leftovers! (which i had for lunch yesterday, by the way.) so last night, we were having pasta for dinner, and i made a HUGE salad for just me and the hippie, and yay! leftovers again! i had some for lunch, and i kind of can't wait to get home and have some more. what is going ON here, people?

of course, all this salad craving is not going to stop me from making a cup of tea here in a minute, and having it with this lovely cranberry and pistachio biscotti my friend mark's mother made. mmmmmmmm...

  1. Good grief! I think I am sharing your cravings. I have been on this salad kick all week in spite of the cold, which is very strange for me! Usually won't eat anything cold when it's freezing out. LOL ~Nana
