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.

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....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
