A Simple Pleasure

I am watching C make one of his inventive salads.

The components:
baby spinach leaves
mixed field greens
blueberries
raspberries
cashews
soy nuts
chunks of fresh pineapple, honey dew and cantaloupe
dried mixed berries including cranberries and cherries
Black Castello cheese
Saint Augur cheese
mango and ginger Stilton cheese
ground pepper
powdered ginger

The dressing devised on the spot:
black currant nectar
sunflower oil left over from marinated artichokes
hot pepper balsamic vinegar




Like a mouthful of summer.

(I think my favorite food pornographer and both cuisinartists would approve.)

Half of me would love a taste.

The other half prefers simplicity.

It is a constant battle. ;)

Que es "soy nuts"?

Yum! I very much approve, and might just recreate and photograph C's recipe.

Of course, picky me would have scrunched up his nose and picked all the fruit out.

What can I say? I'm no gourmet.

I'll be right over for lunch!

Or breakfast, with scrambled eggs and toast!

oh lord, that sounds divine. off to make a salad not nearly so magnificent, but definitely inspired by C's magnum opus.
