ice cold.... salad

lately I have wanted to eat nothing else but salad!
I was really sad to find out that they don't sell caesar dressing here! it is Lee and I's favorite! so instead I got creamy italian and it's very good also.

I like my salad really really cold. like Ruby Tuesday's salad bar... it's always packed in the ice & so fresh and cold! I like to cut up my lettuce and/or spinach and put it in the freezer while I chop up the other stuff so it's gets super cold!
For the most part I am not very adventurous with my salad. I just started eating salad about 4 years ago when Lee forced me to take a bite of caesar salad, but I was instantly hooked! I LOVE caesar salad... how I went 19 years of my life without eating it I will never know... and I got my sister Molly, who is equally as picky, to eat it & her little girls eat it now too! especially from Texas Roadhouse. mmmmmmmmmm they have the BEST!
My salad usually consists of the following... lettuce and/or spinach, carrot shreds, cucumbers, cheese, boiled egg, and croutons.  Lee doesn't like egg, but I love it!

for dinner the other night I just wanted salad, but I made hamburgers too because Lee is a big man who needs more food than that :) and we had our star fruit!  I recently found star fruit that is a lot more orange than what we've had before and it's a lot sweeter... but we still sprinkle sugar on top of it, it's like dessert!

sure this dinner wasn't fancy, but it's a typical night for us

Sometimes I feel bad because I like to eat my hamburgers plain, with just ketchup so I forget to give Lee any toppings... usually he doesn't even get cheese! I just forget... but he never complains.  The yellow bottle is banana ketchup, it's made locally. It takes almost exactly like regular ketchup... I was a little disappointed, I wanted it to taste crazy, but instead it's just ketchup, only yellow.

Star Fruit

I found star fruit really cheap, so we have been eating it like crazy.
I've found the very best ways are to eat it cold with a little sugar sprinkled on top to take away some of the sourness... and to grill it. it tastes so much sweeter when it's just cooked a tiny bit.
I found a website with about 4000000 recipies for using star fruit, so I'll be trying some of them out.
Here's what we had the other night. and it was GOOD.
Chicken, bell peppers, onions, and star fruit.
and we had potatoes


and it's pretty! i love pretty food
