the big salad.

a salad-loving child, i longed for the nights of "big salad." this meant the wooden bowls, which were wide and shallow, as well as many, many tiny bowls of options. included was always "square meat" and bacon bits. i can't remember what kind of meat was "sqaure," but i want to say ham. we did not really eat a lot of pork products growing up, not at least until blake started asking for pork chops, and by then, i was a vegetarian.

ray and elizabeth had plans for a salad night, and i got to join in the fun. we practically put everything in the kitchen into this salad: spinach and carrots, mozzarella cheese, peaches, pinenuts. i steamed beets, grilled asparagus, onion, and mushroom. we heated some leftover brown rice, and boiled eggs. spectacular. i wish the photograph allowed you to know the scrumptiousness.

Another post that makes me hungry and wish for the contents of the post. I want enormous salad! What a great idea for the steamier days of summer.

When I experience those steamy days, I'll let you know. Boston still thinks it's Spring. I guess it is until the 21st.
