Even in the middle of the Polar Vortex, I craved salad.
Was it cold last week where you lived? We were way below
zero and I still craved salad.
Did you have to shovel out from 4 feet of fresh snow fall? I
did, and I still craved salad.
Schools closed; state highways and freeways closed; I stay
in the house for three days straight…. And I craved salad.
The fireplace was on; the car was under two feet of snow; hot tea was constantly in my mug…. And I craved salad. ... and yes, I had nori in my pantry. ..... and edamame in my fridge.
Isa never fails, but.... I think her salad needs MORE nori and LESS green onion. My changes are reflected here.
