Lots of diff lettuces, like iceberg, roman, ruccola, frisé... cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red peppers, red onions, pasta, chicken or salami... some shredded carrots maybe, a sprinkle of olive oil and a balsamico vinaigrette.

I make a lot of really good salads. There's the one with spicy Mayan chicken, roasted beets, and blood oranges (with a blood orange vinaigrette). A watermelon salad with red onions macerated in lime juice, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and fresh mint, drizzled with olive oil. A grilled steak salad with roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, feta, and a red wine vinaigrette. And a grilled chicken caesar with homemade dressing and croutons, parmesan cheese, and anchovies.

this thread is making me hungry.....

Have you guys ever had them raw? They're sooooo nice. Totally different than cooked.

Anx said:

Was it warm?

That sounds so good. I haven't had any for a good long while. Gonna have to track down a loaf. I have trouble finding any that's sour enough for my liking.

it wasn't warm but it was fresh from the deli case. though i might warm up what little i have left tonight - i forgot how much MORE heavenly it is when it's toasty.

I do miss the sourdough in San Francisco. It's just not the same in TX.

the org has lately become a wonderful place to talk about food.... this thread, zombie's dinner thread, anx's lunch thread....

i'm getting hungry.
