Went to a friend's house after playing a gig at Bernie's Bungalow. She offered to make everyone snacks. "What would you like? Popcorn? Fruit? Salad?"
"SALAD!!" I shouted, excitedly. Because it was at that moment that I realized I had not had my salad for the day. Plus I'd been eating variations on the same grilled steak salad all week. So I was thrilled to have something different, made by someone else.
She pulled a million things out of her fridge and threw together a salad packed with curly endive, blueberries, blackberries, mini peppers, tomatoes, and sunflower seeds. She had several dressing options. I went with a pomegranate vinaigrette.
A healthy, delicious snack after a night at the bar. So often we reach for the carbs and fat in these late-night hours when the wine is flowing and our judgment has gone out the window. Grateful to have people in my life with healthier habits to rub off on me.
