Louise must have picked "give someone flowers" this week because she called me at work and asked if she could stop by. Weird I thought, but sure - since she is in the neighborhood. She comes in on gray Monday with a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers and red/purple alstramerias. What you say? they look sort of like little lilies. ANYWAY - everyone at work wants to adopt my sister. Can't have her - she has enough adoptees. A therapist at work stated "you and your sister bring positive energy to this place." (My "give someone flowers was a single daffodil for each person.
Back to salads. I tried making a dressing for a kale salad with mango/peach jam, virgin olive oil and some fancy vinegar Louise had. I had soaked those old cranberry raisins with crushed pineapple, so that went in too. There was a special on orange sweet peppers so I chopped some of that up. YUM. Someone at Book Babes said you were supposed to twist the kale or some such thing so that it isn't bitter. Who knew? Sounds violent to me - just add the sugar said the non-diabetes person.
All for now - nothing earth shaking, but as IrishJill says; a lot of little actions - right? Go us!
The salad sounds incredible! When I have kale (not a fave for me), I make kale chips with a little olive oil and a non-salt seasoning - or salt, if I'm being naughty. I have to be careful to not burn them in the oven, though! I completely agree on a "lot of little actions" making a difference. Love you!
