Salad Days Are Here Again


Salad Days Are Here Again

The temps are in the unseasonable 70's and 80's. For some this means an early start to beach season. For me it means that salad days are here again.

Back when it was cold outside, and cold in the apartment, I wanted piping hot food in my belly. With the change of temps I now crave the cooling crunch of vegetation with the breezy tang of dressing and vinaigrette. Pictured are cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, cucumber, mushroom, and Swiss cheese on a comfortable bed of baby arugula drizzled with Ranch dressing. This is salad #2, not pictured is yesterday's salad with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and walnuts over baby arugula tossed with EVO and balsamic vinegar.

I type this while noisily munching on my creation. Hopefully salad weather is here to stay. Happy Salad Days everyone!

Miso Soup

On a blustery day, when I had off from school, I decided to make my own miso soup. I bought a couple of store made sushi rolls to make a great lunch. This is how the soup turned out, I didn't feel the need to post the sushi pics.
I like my home made version of the soup much better than your typical Brooklyn Sushi place. It's still mostly made up of dry and pre-packaged ingredients but just tastes so much richer!
