I am obsessed with BIG salads lately! After Kickboxing I was starving! I rushed home and threw together a salad that would rock your world.
I hate that pictures can’t capture the sheer magnitude of this meal. It had spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage salad, chickpeas, hummus, hot sauce…
I like my chickpeas warm so I heat them up in the microwave straight in the measuring cup. And it’s safe to assume many more chickpeas were consumed in the making of this meal 
You know how everyone gets the biggest thrill out of new toppings for oatmeal? Well, a salad is like my oatmeal. I love getting different bites with new, good stuff.
I may have eaten 5 servings of Pirate’s Booty too… 
Flashback Friday: I was going through some old pics and found this picture of the grounds of Domain Chandon winery in Napa. I think it is beautiful.
Ben and I were road trip fiends back in CA and drove from Orange County to SF and Napa on a long weekend. It’s about 8 hours away!
When we couldn’t drive, we took a boat. Like the time we went to Catalina Island. That was a blast! 
Any big plans for the weekend? I think Ben and I are going to do some exploring

exploring sounds like fun! it’s spring weekend on my campus so there will be lots of festivities going on
We live in Ventura county and this summer I plan on lots of California Road trips. San Diego, Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco, Palos Verdes…Palm Springs….Ok maybe not ALL of them. I would be totally up for it though!
Hot sauce on salad? Interesting….
Hopefully tomorrow’s plan is biking 50 miles!
I think it’s funny you warm your chickpeas
They’re one of the few foods I can eat cold and feel fine
I love me some pirates booty!!
There’s so much fun stuff going on in DC this weekend–I don’t know where in Maryland you are but there’s a tea festival in Laurel and also Passport DC, both on Saturday.
Salads are my oatmeal too! I put everything but the kitchen sink in them. If I have leftovers – I know how to use them – in a salad!
I’ve gone crazy with the monster salads recently! Everyone gives me a hard time that salad is all I eat, but each one is different and amazing!
I am totally the opposite with my salads. They always have consist of the exact same veggies. I know what I love : romaine, radishes, carrots, broccoli, red cabbage, green onions and homemade ranch dressing. Perfection…. =)

I at present have a Lexmark, I am OK with the good quality but I’m very unhappy with how quickly it goes through ink. I need to have something that will print top quality documents and not drain me dry using the charge of ink.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
