Can I have the recipe?

tonight's salad is still sitting in the refrigerator untested because we had nothing but onion tart for dinner last night. It's edamame, jicama, craisins, a tiny tiny bit of fresh oregano, lime juice and a splash of champagne vinaigrette. It wasn't jelling when I first tossed it but I'm hoping the jicama absorbed the flavor from the lime and cranberries, will let you know after lunch.

The killer salad started with onions cooked in bacon grease, tossed with (canned) black beans (I bet it would be even better if you made them yourself) tossed with the white part of green onions, avocado, and tomatoes. I served that on a bed of romaine and cilantro topped with salsa, queso fresco, crema fresca, the green part of the green onions, yellow onions chopped with cilantro and crumbled lime-flavored tortilla chips.

The leftovers were fatastic served over the chips without the lettuce.

Thanks!

I think it should be ita! de la moon.

Just *ripped* my moron ex-stepbrother on FB about drug testing welfare recipients...it really pisses me off that people think the problem with such processes is that they are too *easy* and *dignified*. And from this guy, to boot. I mean, I'm glad he grew up and held down a job eventually, but when I knew him best, his sweat had buds and seeds and he lied to his dad for five years about "studying for" his GED. Yeah, I'm really going to let you play the "hardworking family man/taxpayer" card. As if! I don't let my inner Grabien loose on Facebook often...post*that* as your status.

Heh. I signed up for Google+ with the surname Moon. It feels weird, but fun.

Good for you, erika.

can't be said enough.

I want to sign up for Google+ as Laga Ratica but all it takes is one person who thinks you should be posting under your real name to flag you and you lose your account. And I think I have a facebook "friend" who would do it.

Oh, jeez. Now I had to change my circles on G+ because of you, fickle Moon!

Laga -- what kind of "friend" would do THAT?

That's pretty jerktastic, IMO.

I'm glad about it, but I feel stupid, too. I know for a fact this guy barely got out of high school(my mother used to call him "dipshit no. 2", his older sister being, of course, dipshit number 1") so on one level it's fish in a barrel for me and my girl Rachel Maddow, but at the same time, I think we all lose when stupid goes unchallenged for too long. Also, if we allow that kind of overreach by states, it's not good. Also, he might have to look up "probable cause" and self-incrimination, since they were not included in Hooked on Phonics. Ten to one, he thinks benefits are WAY bigger than they are, too. In my experience, most people do, even kind of smart ones.
