100 Days of Salad February 27, 2010
At the moment I’m eating salad every day. This is not an exercise in restriction; it’s a commitment to self-indulgence and celebration of one of my favorite menu items. When asked what my favorite foods are, I have often said, “Salad…and cheese, of course.”
These salads I’ve been making are delicious, usually casual and easy, and they fill my heart and stomach with joy. Inspired after the food styling workshop, I started taking pictures of these joy-giving salads, so I started a new sister blog, called 100 days of salad , to share ideas. I hope you’ll share your own ideas there as well! 100 days of anything is pretty long, even if it is your favorite thing.
Bring to Boil is still continuing on. It’s like when Buffy the Vampire Slayer spun off to the concurrent but separate show, Angel. The two blogs will likely refer to each other, since the same person is cooking for both. One blog’s going to be about daily salads, and this blog will continue to be about Everything Else (possibly even more salads?).
I love that you used Buffy as a reference point! I think I told you about my recent delicious salad experience at, of all places, California Pizza Kitchen. Their Mediterranean Chicken Salad has such wonderful, unexpected ingredients like beets, butternut squash, and dates. I can’t wait to see what salads you have in store (and the beautiful pictures that illustrate them).
Oh wow! I’m thrilled to check out your salad blog!! I hope you are well.
Stacey, one of the other salads you told me about recently is on my list to try, too. I’ll need to call you for a refresher.
Melissa, thank you! I know you love nature’s bounty, too… hope you like the salad blog.
Ha, funny, I started a salad blog a year ago. It had a very short life
I do think it’s a great idea, I just didn’t have time to invest in 2 blogs…
One of the first things I learned in the US is that salad doesn’t mean a veggie salad. You use meat and seafood in salads which I have never seen before moving here. That makes it a “real” meal and not just a side dish.
I’m a HUGE fan of salads as well, but cheese definitely is higher on my list
I had fun going through your salad blog. I so would not have thought of a fried rice salad. Will have to try it next time I make some fried rice.
