My Life in Salads

                                                My Life in Salads

For the first time in years, I am met with a plethora of free time. I have mastered the delicate art of therapizing and now it is time to Master the art of fitting into my entire wardrobe. Now that I have oodles of time on my hands, I figured it is now or never to shed these awesome pounds that have kept me so warm in the 8-month Cleveland Winter season. No longer a vegetarian, I have found that the temptation of meat is strong and irresistible, like an Ecuadorian ship captain. Alas, my carnivorous affair need not be squelched, just tamed and replaced with the fruits of nature.

So this is it, my life in salads. I need to rekindle the love affair we once had. But, it is time to mix things up. It needs to spicy, creative and well, pleasing to my insatiable palette. Not a potato or pasta salad enthusiast so this is a challenge fit for a Viking. (Potatoes should be fried or baked…and serving pasta cold is like going to school without your drawers on, unnecessary).

And so it begins…and may I add it was like Christmas in July, except two days late. And because it was delicious and I ate it out of my favorite candy-cane pasta bowl because I felt like it.

½ half of a peach cut into small pieces
