What was I going to say?
Jul. 1st, 2023 01:04 amI had a plan when I opened this post-an-entry window, really I did. But now that it's here, all visually empty, so is my brain.
I guess it's time for bed.

Experimental Salad of the Day
Jul. 1st, 2023 01:47 pmSo, a couple of weeks ago, the post-covid brain fog led to me asking My Angel to get cabbage (which I already had) instead of apples, which I needed for my version of waldorf salad. So I mixed up a bowl of cabbage, shredded carrot, and canned pineapple (sliced tiny). The pineapple was really disappointing, more sweet than pineapple flavored. Ah, well, that's canned for you.
For my best experiment before today, I added sliced leftover ginger pickle, onion, and soy sauce. I think that version would have been really good with sliced roast beef added, if I'd had any handy, but I didn't. Or peanut pieces, which I also didn't have.
I did turn some of it into waldorf salad, adding chopped walnuts, apple, and mayo, and decided (no surprise) that the carrot didn't work particularly well in it.
Today, I took the last of it and added dried apricot, sliced very small, sliced onion, minced fresh ginger, and soy sauce (gluten free, as always). This version was inspired by the thought that carrot and ginger are a good combination. It was good.
So that's two different alternate (to me) cabbage salads that are worth further experimentation in the future.
Now I should put on outdoor clothes and go pick peas. There's lots of mulberries out there too. And I'll have to water the garden the old fashioned way, since it didn't rain yesterday and neither I nor My Angel have had the energy post-covid to dig up the old, broken one, and lay the new one into the ground.
