Salad scarfer


Here is the long awaited salad post! My sister in law is the greatest salad eater of all time. so this is dedicated to her! When they came to visit us a couple months ago, I of course tried to pull up some salads that would appease her high calibre leafy pallate.

I found this awesome recipe "THAI-STYLE PRAWN MANGO AND TOMATO SALAD" and I was delighted to hear the words "This might be the best salad I've ever tasted"

I owe the glory to the Woman's Weekly cookbook (from aussie-land)
and here I get to share it with you!



More to come...as this week I happened upon a fabulous greek salad too(with tiny lil garden potatoes and dill in it!) so yummy and so so good...

I might have to become a Glenna-style salad eater. Can you come to my house and cook, please?

Yes. That was a good salad. Shall buy all ingredients next time I am in the Big City and make it. There is no 'Glenna-style salad'. If it's a salad, it's totally my style. I eat them at least twice a day. Have even been known to throw one together for a snack. LOVE salad. All salad. I don't discriminate. But that mango one was a great salad. Top 5 for sure, including restaurant salad, and I had a couple great ones in Mexico. Yummy.

I didn't meant "Glenna-style salad" I meant "Glenna-style eater." Dur.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
