Veg

So I know the title of this post is kind of crap, because isn't every post on here about vegetables in some way? I know. Total cop out.

I had some very boring errands to run after work, so except for grabbing beers with an industry friend, I really didn't do anything exciting last night. I wanted to check out the pet carriers for Sheldog's Flight Adventure 2010, but did not make it to a pet store. Hopefully I can check some out tonight, because according to my vet we need to start training ASAP.

Do you know what's not boring? Vegetables.

Salad Mountain

I know you're sitting there thinking, "But I thought she had square plates? What's she doing with a circle plate?!" Don't be alarmed. Square plates are about half the size of circle plates for portion control reasons. However, when making salads, portion control is a non-issue.

Buried in this Asian-inspired heap of greenery is five lettuce blend, cucumbers, some sweet peppers from my mama's garden, red onions and sprouts. I went a little overboard with the sprouts, but I'm okay with that.

Questions
  • Do you theme your salads? Asian, Mexican, etc?
  • What do your plates look like? Do you have a favorite plate?
  • Are you excited for Project Runway tonight, or what?

  3. i never really theme my salads, but ive saved a few salad recipes that i want to try out, one is mexican and the other is.. italian i think.

    mine is pretty boring or plain, usually mustard based with vinegar.

    i collect a lot of different plates and love getting cool used ones at Value Village. i swear each one is my 'new' favorite lol. right now i like this one that has a farm pic in the back with cartoon farmers riding in a horse drawn carriage :)

  4. I sometimes theme my salads but most of the time I just throw in every vegetable I have on hand!

    I usually use mixing bowls for my salads. :P But for dinners I like my white square plates.
