Salad!

Jinx and I make the best salads. I don't know or care how healthy they are, they just rock. We make them late at night. Usually, around midnight.

tonight's ingredients:

mixed baby greens
campari tomatoes
2 avocados, sliced
cubed turkey breast
red seedless grapes
mandarin oranges
sliced roasted almonds
newman's raspberry walnut vinaigrette dressing

My ideal (unhealthy) salad would probably be a classic Chicken Caesar - with anchovies natch. Or if I have a really big appetite a Cobb Salad.

But if I go to the salad bar in Sainsburys (and my mouth is watering now thinking about it) I always include:
Olives
Peppers
Red onion - or scallions if they have them
Boiled egg
Blue cheese dressing
Kidney beans/ chickpeas
Couscous

No, none of them go together, I just love them!
And I am queen of filling the carton to the max.

what I'm wondering is when do jinx and Lj sleep? coz it seems like 'never' is the answer to that one.
