how to: make a tasty tuesday dinner

toast some almonds for your salad (in a pan not the toaster. unless you have a very small toaster especially for almonds. i might invent one of those soon).

make a simple homeade dressing (4 parts oil, one part vinegar, rosemary, salt and pepper)

invite the toasted almonds and the dressing to meet up with some sliced strawberries, green onion, blue cheese and mixed greens for a summery salad shindig.


put a hat on and bake some shishkabobs in the oven.

eat some fruit and cheese later when you're hungry again instead of 5 oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. or eat both and just photograph the fruit and cheese.

the shiskabobs were very good for oven shiskabobs (you broil them up at the end which makes them all grill-y like on the bbq) but the salad was my favourite part. salads are so fun to invent and there's so many options for all the components like different types of lettuce and different veggies and fruit possibilities and different ways you can change the simple dressing (by adding mustard or honey for instance). a salad is like abstract art! and like abstract art if someone doesn't like your salad, tell them they just don't get it.

which reminds me i have to write yoko ono.
