salad days
This week it feels too hot to walk down the street.
Toronto.
(sigh!)
So I bought four beefsteak tomatoes, some spring onions. I already had ginger root in stock for my endless batch of ginger cakes.
Rinse the lot.
Chop the tomato into the thinnest slices you can. I get this done by using a full-of-awe sharp knife. My carpentry teacher Mr. Hewison taught me back in 1957 “Hold Tightly; Press Lightly”. In other words, ‘stay in control”, and this is best achieved with an awfully sharp knife.
Toss the slivers of tomato into an ice-cream bowl.
Chop/dice into 1 millimetre rings about one inch off the top of the spring onions.
Toss them over the tomato slivers.
Grate about one inch off the end of a ginger root.
Toss the gratings over the green and red slivers.
That’s the stage I’m at in the photo above.
I have a rubbing-alcohol bottle rinsed out and re-charged with a mixture of vegetable oil and vinegar.
Drizzle about a tablespoon of this mixture over the salad.
Toss the salad lightly with a fork.
Settle yourself down on the couch with “The Chairs are Where the People Go”.
Yummy.
P.S. If you find it too hot to trot out for ginger root, try grated cheese, but I’m telling you – it’s nowhere near as good as grated ginger root.

Re: salad days
So much better to toss the whole thing into the food recycling box, and ring up for a takeaway Chinese!

Re tuna: in a tin in my emergency-rations box.
Smoked Salmon: I'll be getting some in as soon as I have paid off my trip to Melun later this year.
Ham Chicken: The last thing this Lounge needs is a stand-up comedian waiting with wings in the wings to "wing it" once it makes its entrée.

Re: salad days
Opps, I dropped the coma, to the corner I go!
Edit:
Double "oops"
then I dropped the second "m"
I better really head for the hills and hide out for a few days.

Re: salad days
More likely you were in a coma?
