salood.

I made a salad tonight. Folks, this is an accomplishment. I bake; I do not cook or prepare boring foods.

At first it looked like this, and only because Mom offered me her extra mushrooms, coated in olive oil and lime juice.  It was going to be a simple bowl of greens; I was impressed with myself for even drying the lettuce.


I thought that was good enough, but my sister was in the other corner of the kitchen whipping up shepherd's pie.  In an attempt to not be sorely outdone, I cut up some carrots and cherry tomatoes.  I've always hated carrots in salad.  All one does is chase those little boogers around the plate in frustration.  But I had a revolutionary idea tonight.  Cut them lengthwise, thank you very much.


(So the coloring looks like something from the 70s.  Food photography is an art which I do not possess.)

I even made salad dressing.  I like simple recipes.  Specifically the part where it gives you the option of throwing everything in a jar and shaking.


In other news..

Audrey broke the beaters while trying to whip her potatoes.


(and I'll try to work on my photography skills..)
