Inspired by the salad I had my friend Stacy's house (Stacy does everything wonderfully), the refrigerator was stocked with all sorts of salad goodies, including an avocado, kalamata olives, and some Irish Pub Cheese (a substitute for the mozzarella balls in olive oil).
Putting about a third of one half of the avocado, about half a dozen olives, several thin slices of cheese that I chopped into bits into a bowl and a handful of romaine lettuce I sprinkled a few drops of lime juice, and olive oil onto my salad. Lastly, I went to the spice cabinet and added a little salt and some mint flakes (I could not find any oregano or basil, could we be out?!).
A quick toss in the bowl and I dug in. It was exactly what I wanted, salty, with a little sweet and cool for kicks. Because avocados are so difficult to keep, we seldom have them and I had forgotten how much I love their nut-like flavor.
Of course the salt and even saltier olives left me craving something sweet-my answer to that was a B & B nightcap.
Sadly, an hour after she woke me up and just as I was finishing typing the above paragraph, Mercedes crawled back into bed with us.
In other news, I have been going back to physical therapy to help manage my pain, plus I have a slew of new equipment to show off, which I plan to write about soon.
