Back to Life, Back to Reality

Back home from my trip to Arizona. Sad to leave my folks and glad to see our little apartment, water my plants, pet the cats...

My dad made great food but when we were left to forage for food on our own after P got there, we made some bad choices. I don't regret them but when we came back we needed some vegetables in the worst way. Salads were in order. First night I made a couscous salad with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and a lemon vinaigrette.

Next day a pasta salad with zucchini, carrots, salami, cotija cheese.

The the next night a black bean, tomato, cucumber, celery, Kalamata olives, green and red onion salad with Cotija cheese, lots of lemon and EVOO, a little oregano and salt and pepper.

Back to life.
