Momma’s Dinner Salad

Written by

One sliced tomato
One cucumber, but only half should be put into the salad because Iman will have walked away with the other half
One scrambled egg that Khalid didn’t want for breakfast
A handful of sunflower seeds, because they’re healthy or something like that
A handful of spicy roasted corn, because it’s tasty though definitely not healthy
Three sliced mushrooms, which neither of the children are interested in
Way too much full-fat ranch dressing
A huge dollop of yogurt
Oh, and some lettuce. Somewhere.

Salad is healthy, right? *nodnodnod*

yogurt AND ranch?! :S
also why isn’t toasted corn healthy?

Yes, because the yogurt helps trick your tongue into thinking that there’s way more salad dressing on there than you put! Salt helps too, really.

You know, they call it roasted corn, but I can’t help but get the feeling that it’s fried? Check it out next time you’re in Carrefour- in the bulk spices & nuts section, they have ‘Roasted Corn’ that tastes like the elder cousin of Cheetos and has a distinctly squeaky feeling on the teeth that is far, far too tasty to be healthy. I’m suspicious of it. But man, it’s good on salad!

Haha, I know! But you wouldn’t believe the fight that Khalid is waging against Joy- he thought he had gotten rid of her for good and that no one would make him work ever again! And now we’re having scream-a-thons like we’re back in the first month of therapy. It’ll take a few days for him to accept his fate, and then, we’ll come over and play. 🙂
