Yesterday my loving husband and I went to our favorite place on the planet Wal Mart (not). Just there to pick up a few things to bring to a dinner. While we were shopping I saw some glorious cherries, bright red and firm (that is what you look for when you buy cherries actually they do not need to be bright red just firm). I picked up two bags (my husband has gout and my grandma told me cherries help...probably an old wives tale but she is my grandma and I must listen). By the way I must mention the cherries were on sale for 5.98 (cherries can range from 10 to 12 dollars a pound by the way).
Now on the way to check out (self check out I might add because yes I am that progressive) I ring the cherries up first.....
cash register: ding
cash register: subtotal 30.02
Bern: WHAT (now molley this is me yelling)
Bern: Billy come here look at this
Billy: Bern there are people waiting
Bern: Billy look at this
Billy: WHAT...............
Bern: look at the price of cherries
Billy: I know
Bern: JEEEEEESE OH PEATS
Billy: Bern hurry up there are people waiting
Bern: Can you believe cherries cost this much....what do they do fly them around the world twice...Maybe we should plant a cherry tree instead.....
Billy: Bernadette get out of the way there are people waiting and we have to go
Bern: oh
So this was our trip to Wal Mart yesterday we are two very exciting people:
Here is the salad I brought to the dinner party..... I did not make this up I had this at Dean and Deluca so I tried to copy off their house salad.....I think I came really close
* one roasted red pepper cut up in strips (do not use a jar they taste gross)
* mixed greens
* green onion...a.k.a scallion
* goat cheese
* toasted pine nuts
* the dean and deluca house salad does not have an avocado in it .... but if I have a ripe one I put it in there.
* DRESSING (here is a rule of thumb for a vinaigrette one part acid and three parts oil....so if you want to make more or less you can)
1 tbs balsamic
squirt of honey
1 tsp Dijon
3 tbs GOOD olive oil (p.s. do not use olive oil after about a month it goes bad so always buy in small batches)
Then toss...............easy breasy lemon squeezey
