Salad is my full-time friend too, especially during these steamy summer days. By the way, even though I just left you a comment, I want to tell you again that I loved your response to the Self article about detox diets. What a brilliant, thoughtful piece! You amaze me.<br /><br />Hillary, those Breakfast Yogurts sound perfect! We should bring them back, even if we have to make them ourselves. I'm really enjoying the texture of wheat berries these days--so nice and chewy! I've been adding them to my oatmeal a la Kath and they are scrumptious that way.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-45607901386479991392009-06-30T10:05:52.245-05:002009-06-30T10:05:52.245-05:00Yoplait used to make "Breakfast Yogurts"...Yoplait used to make "Breakfast Yogurts" with fruit, nuts, and wheat berries. This was my favorite breakfast in eartly elementary school ... until it was discontinued when I was in third or fourth grade. So sad! I reminisce about it each time I come across something with wheat berries. They're the best!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721261269013078128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-82887958640754541402009-06-30T06:36:24.607-05:002009-06-30T06:36:24.607-05:00Salad is most certainly my travel friend, too!

Lets talk a little about the REAL texas and not some imaginary fairtale version that lives in my Wife's head.<br /><br />1. Texas is a VERY conservative state... George W. is from there.<br /><br />2. Texas leads all states in number of people put to death each year. over 400 since 1976, 4 times as many as the closest competitor...so much for that friendly nature. <br /><br />3. Blue Bell Ice cream tastes like Meijer Brand. Honestly, nothing special. <br /><br />4. Everyone in Texas eats meat. in order to get a state ID, you have to eat a full rack of ribs in under an hour.<br /><br />5. It is FREAKIN' HOT in Texas, and there is NO WATER. <br /><br />Pick Iowa!JD @ run-thru-life.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196732007819344467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-17296799704728936192009-06-27T21:30:51.769-05:002009-06-27T21:30:51.769-05:00RA,

(Make that feminine Davidson style; J does not appreciate the greatness of Texas, which is terribly sad.)<br /><br />Iowa food:<br />- Being a farm state, there will presumably be lots of fresh veggies and cheeses.<br /><br />Texas food: <br />- Best BBQ ever . . . wait. That doesn't help you. Within 40 miles of the Dr. Pepper factory, REAL Dr. Pepper with REAL sugar. It's amazing!<br /><br />Iowa entertainment:<br />- Cow watching.<br /><br />Texas entertainment:<br />-Cow watching<br /><br />Iowa visitation policies:<br />- We can drive there in one long day to visit you.<br /><br />Texas visitation policies:<br />- We can visit you when we fly there to visit family. However, if said family (containing U-T alumni) discovered we were going to A&M, we might not make it out of the house.<br /><br />Iowa sentimental value:<br />- None<br /><br />Texas sentimental value: <br />- Lots. Love that beautiful open sky. Love the warm winter. Love those friendly people, including the friendly tractor drivers that pull over to the side of the road so you can pass them. Love the state capitol with its pink granite. Love the state parks (go to Lake Brownwood). Love that Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate ice cream. Love the Aggie jokes I will pull out of my elementary school memories. <br /><br />Keep us posted. :)<br /><br />Love, <br />AMPDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-44483537605785479292009-06-26T12:23:09.913-05:002009-06-26T12:23:09.913-05:00ttfn, really?

Okay, maybe I'm just a complete weirdo.<br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like the fennel in this salad. I was skeptical, but it turns out to be delicious! I think the key is to slice in finely so that the other flavors in each bite are not overwhelmed by a huge hunk of fennel. I also think the crunchiness is nicer with thin slices.<br /><br />If I could, I'd Fedex you a Tupperware container of salad for your flight!<br /><br />I'm deciding between offers at Texas A & M University and the University of Iowa. This decision is very hard! I'm still not sure what I'm going to do.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-58094583858321076972009-06-26T08:53:38.626-05:002009-06-26T08:53:38.626-05:00cheeze-its, really? i don't think i've ev...cheeze-its, really? i don't think i've ever had that thought :)<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of raw fennel, but the idea of taking a salad is a good one.

Your broccoli salad looks like a mighty fine way to keep the knives moving even during times of extreme busy-ness. I absolutely love the idea of salads that keep well in the fridge and wait patiently for you. I feel better just thinking about it.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-46097450610039460592009-06-24T23:00:41.761-05:002009-06-24T23:00:41.761-05:00Wow, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. ...Wow, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
