A green pepper, 2 small cucumbers and 2 tomatoes, all from my friend's garden, and mozzarella, topped with garlic pepper crispy onions. Here's what it looked like before I tossed it with some balsamic vinaigrette. And a pic of the fried onions which I added more of once I started eating the salad. When I have homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes I usually toss them with Italian dressing or a vinaigrette with nothing else, and I eat green peppers raw with a sprinkle of salt. But I decided to try something different this time and it was delicious. I added the string cheese because, you know, it's
cheese, and while I was slicing up the veggies I saw the bag of onions on the counter next to a can of chili and thought, why not? I didn't have any croutons to throw in there.
I ate that whole bowlful of salad for lunch (casserole dish if you want to get technical, I need to do dishes soon.) Breakfast was just a plate of tikka masala seasoned Basmati rice grown at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. Mmm, spicy.
I have 2 small lemon melons from my friend's garden setting on the counter too. I have to wait a few days for them to ripen up. Over Labor Day weekend I helped him pick apples from a neighbor where his cabin is, and along with the fresh produce, Monday he brought over 2 half-pints or apple butter his wife made. I know what's going on my my toast when I get my appetite back, if not sooner.
I have some chicken & herb rice and enough ingredients for another big salad tomorrow if I don't eat something different.
