Tonight we’re eating a salad with red peppers, snow peas, carrots, red onions, broccoli, squash, advocado, salsa turkey, pepperjack cheese, and sunflower seeds. The salad was accompanied by Trader Joe’s yummy little flat breads.

A: It’s weird that this is our first salad posting, don’t ya think?
T: yeah, I was surprised to realize that… seems like we’ve eaten so many salads that we would have posted one by now, but they’ve alway been overshadowed by the main dish.
A: And now they are the main dish. Earlier today we ate Mexican food for lunch, so we’re keeping it a little lighter for dinner.
T: yeah, it’s hard not to be influenced by the california health nuts. eh?
A: fo sho. We actually had mexican sandwiches today for lunch. I believe it was your first time, eh T?
T: yup, first time I’ve gotten a “torta” as they call it. I would always go for tacos or enchiladas, but never the sandwich.
A: maybe it’s because I’m a huge sandwich fan that I’ve had them before.
T: Mine had marinated pork loin, refried bean paste, guacamole, and some other junk. It was pretty good… by the time I got to the end of it I just took the meat off the sandwich.. er torta.. and ate it plain.
A: your meat was pretty good, T. Their carnitas were lacking, though…
L: Mine was, ehhnn.
A: maybe we should move on to the meal at hand, off of so-so mexican food.
T: it was a fun salad, good turkey… huh, what is salsa turkey, anyway?
A: I don’t make the salsa turkey, our local Henry’s Market does, but I would assume that it is turkey that has been roasted with salsa as a baste… and it is quite yummy. The salad overall was pretty good…
L: it was very good.
A: but it was nothing outside of our normal yummy salads.
T: yeah you always hook up a killer salad… if I were making a salad, I would rip open one of those premade salad bags that they are so nice to make for us, i’d dump into a bowl and say, “dinner’s ready, i’m outta here.”
A: that wouldn’t be a very filling dinner, huh?
T: well, I’d probably be “outta here” on my way to crack in the ass.
A: hehehh I don’t know if anybody will know that that’s jack in the crack… oh I mean Jack in the Box.
T: heheheh yeah, I love that silly place.
A: oh, you make me laugh, T. Alright, well, I give dinner a 3.9/5. It was good. I dug it. Didn’t quite hit the 4 mark, because it wasn’t out of the ordinary, although it was good.
T: yeah, it wasn’t out of the ordinary, but an ordinary salad that you make is pretty darn good. We eat pretty well in this here apartment. Gracias a Amanda.
A: No problemo, senor.
T: Ok i give the salad a 4/5. It was good, it would have needed to be more inovative or contain some sort of hot meat to get a higher score, i think. A 4/5’s good, though, as was this salad.
A: I still can’t get over you giving our first meal back a 4/5 and this a 4/5.
T: well, I can’t help but compare this to other salads… I mean, generally I don’t think salad can compare to a “hot meal”. This gets a 4/5 as a salad.
A: heard.
T: does that make any sense?
A: it does, definately. you wanna give a rating on here Laura?
L: I would give it a 4.4. I thought it was excellent, delicious, and after that heavy mexican lunch it was just perfect. The only reason I’m not rating higher is because it was not one of Amanda’s usual fabulous gourmet feasts.
A: well, thank you very much, Laura.
L: I love your salad… all those good vegetables we eat…
A: well I think we need lots of antioxidants and vitamins and minerals that we can get from raw veggies. Today while stumbling through the internet we came across a Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad.
T: Amusing, possibly useful.
A: definately worth checking out.
T: yah, and we thought it was funny that cheezewiz never goes bad.
A: yeah, that says it all. Not to mention i’m extremely opposed to products they sell on the shelf that should normally be refrigerated… freaks me out.
T: yeah, i agree… although velveeta makes a fine rotel tomato cheeze dip.
A: still scary, though.
L: I like rotel dip.
A: still scares, me, though.
L: normally I would not want to eat velveeta, but I like rotel dip.
T: yeah I like that kind of dip, too. It good.
A: I like real queso, you know, that white queso made with real yumminess.
T: well I like real velveeta and rotel dip too.
A: crazy boy. Alright let’s wrap it up, hommie.
T: word.
