It was a pretty good salad and a nice way to finish a day after a few long days at work. We’ve got the Ebola Response Taskforce going plus the Frozen Berries contaminated by Hepatitis A virus situation as well as the usual sort of work in the department. We had senate estimates yesterday. Our outcomes were on first thing as part of the whole of portfolio session and then late last night when communicable diseases and health security sessions were on.
Miss9 would totally dig this mix of ham, syrup and salad things 🙂
If Miss9 makes it I hope she likes it. It’s dead easy.
Gary this looks amazing! LOL at “Stuff for colelsaw though”. I’m guessing you mean cabbage, carrot and mayonnaise? 🙂
Yeah Lorraine recipe writing isn’t like a chemistry practical 🙂 I figure I can use a bit of shorthand.
Now if it was baking, that’s different, that is like a chemistry practical and I’d be more careful lol
Sounds like a nice salad to end a hectic day. I guess the salad I order must when dining out is a Greek salad, at home it would be a green leaf salad with blue cheese vinaigrette.
Thanks Karen. I like the sound of a blue cheese vinaigrette 🙂 I’ve never really been a salad person apart from a Caesar salad. I’m only now starting to appreciate them more 😀
Looks lovely Gaz! I love a good Caesar salad!
Mmm…I love Caesar salad too Barb. An oldie but a goodie
