i was going to tell you all about the Best Salad Ever last night, but i’m still having issues with my webhost’s server relocation. they’re not replying to my emails and i’m really beginning to get pissed off. instead, i’m going to give you the recipe:
The Best Salad Ever
red leaf lettuce, torn to bite-size
radicchio, torn to bite-size
radishes, thinly sliced
sweet red onion, thinly sliced
japanese cucumbers, roughly chopped
orange bell pepper, roughly chopped
tomato, roughly chopped
toss together, and serve with:
1 dollop salsa (i used que pasa mild)
1-2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds (i used organic)
1-2 tbsp dressing (i used organic italian with roasted red pepper by simply natural – my new favourite dressing)
dusted with shaved parmesano reggiano cheese
all i can say is that i was sitting there, all alone, moaning every time i took a bite of this amazing meal. holy crap. i’m so glad i made a big bowl, ’cause i get more today for lunch! yay!
in other news, work stuff is getting very exciting and interesting. it won’t be an overnight change, but there’s a definite possibility that i won’t be doing the crap data entry for very much longer. cross your fingers for me, please. this is exactly what i’ve wanted my position to morph into for the last couple of years. now my boss is initiating the changes which should finally get me there. i’m trying not to look too far forward or get too excited, but i can say it’s making getting up at 5:30am a lot easier the last couple of days.
i had a really vivid morgan-dream the other night. i was so happy to have him there, to meet his parents and be in his arms. he had hair in my dream, though, which isn’t too odd considering the first photo i ever saw of him was with a full head of fur. i woke up feeling rather lonely.
that sounds great. what are japanese cucumbers?
they’re small, crunchy cucumbers i get at the local asian market. i keep asking people if they have another name, but so far everyone just calls them “japanese cucumbers”.
ah-ha! http://cheneybrothers.com/japanese.shtm there’s a photo and everything!
i am sending all my good work juju your way.
ps. oh, i forgot! i’m sending my job mojo too. i’m sort of in the same process of (hopefully) morphing into the job i really want to do, too, so i can empathize with the hope/nervousness thing.
