The view from my window..they were SOOO LOUD..
"For reals, Mama...they are making me crazy!!!"
At least we were able to avoid some of this noise today....we took a trip into the big city. Yep...got a bit lost....I blame E.V..she was the navigator and told me to take that right on MLK when I should have taken a left...Boy was I happy when we finally saw that sign for the Burnside Bridge...Talk about doing a happy dance...
"Mama...I SWEAR...the map said take a left...I'm sooo sorry...oops..."
It's like the blind leading the blind...we pulled off to re-group...
"Oh, Mama...I'm so over this big city trip..please take me home...and, for the last time, PLEASE put that camera away...I can't take one more minute!"
She is such a mean crabby pants.........
Here we are sitting in traffic...I have perfected the multi-tasking art of driving and snapping photos at the same time...I am unsure if that is what one should do...but, soon I will be teaching a class on the art..I have yet to run over anyone...so it really can't be all that bad....
WE did have dinner...something light and easy...teehee..again, I swear I will refrain...sometimes I can't help myself...I totally blame this east side residing juggler..totally his fault...
"Yes, Mama...we have been over and over this...I feel like a broken record....I. Am. Hungry... I'm not a roll of Charmin..so don't give me no crap...Shall we eat???"
Alright..she wins...hands down.... allow me to introduce the dressing components...I still have heartburn...yep...I do..It was delicious..but, yeah...I can't quite seem to find the photo of these components to which I have referenced...perhaps it is best...blue cheese..mayonnaise, sour cream, sherry, pepper, garlic, buttermilk and olive oil. I do, however, have a photo of the mixing of the dressing...if that will suffice....
Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing
I also had a photo of the salad components.....which, again, I am unable to locate...maybe something happened to my components file...my mind has been astray a bit lately...those chainsaw jugglers...jeesh...the things they can do... However, I can show you the most exciting and cutting edge photo ever shown on the world wide web...ready for this, my friends....take a seat... lock up your children..secure the premises...
The hard boiling of an egg..isn't it a hoot to see something THIS exciting! It's not every day you see this creation...Yep...Doesn't get much better than this...tisk-tisk...
"Mama...I love cleaning these plates...now where is that chicken???"
The Chicken...earlier...the egg...which did come first...quite the conundrum..hmmmm.. Doesn't matter.. they both taste equally as scrumptious...like chainsaw jugglers...
After all of this nonsense and inconsequential banter...there was a salad...I rather enjoyed this salad.. I call it my Not Quite a Cobb Salad Salad...no avocado, prosciutto instead of bacon, carrots instead of tomatoes..so, in essence.....not a cobb salad AT ALL...a salad you could whip up....that's just a tip...I'm full of tips... yep...and that is a good thing...of the CSJ variety...mind you...MY salad!
I could write a ballad about this salad..but it would not be valid...and would most likely scare off the mallards...who would probably become pallid...after they heard my ballad...merely an observation...Tip: Do not write a ballad about your salad....
Make a salad....write a ballad...read Spalding Gray...take some time to rhyme...use your great grater...allow your dog to be your co-pilot...have fun...be nimble, as it is a hoot....life is too short...for most, anyway... Thank you all..we will be returning tomorrow...I know..pretend you don't see me coming...and if you do see me..pretend you have a pizza in the oven...the perfect excuse and the ideal way to avoid someone...shhhh....that's a super-secret!
