Any kind of vinaigrette will work well on already cooked quinoa. Add that some string tasting cheese and some chopped herbs.

You can make a salad with beans and bell peppers and avocado and feta and cilantro in a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice, it's delicious.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Vortex, I'd go with white or yellow cake and chocolate ganache, or buttercream. Thing is, hard as it is to believe, there are people who dislike chocolate. It's easier to scrape the frosting off and eat the cake than to eat the frosting and leave the cake.

I agree with Bev. But you could also ask Farrah, she doesn't like chocolate (how is she my bff? More chocolate for me)
Puppy drove me up a wall today. Just SUPER LOUD BARKING IN MY EAR while I had a headache and felt sick. And then napped at the puppy play place instead of getting some of that energy out. And then more barking. I'm sure my neighbors hate me. My roommate does too. My eardrums do. Ugh. This is why I never wanted to be a single parent to a human child, nobody to hand the kid off to! (Puppy place does daycare but at $55 a day it's prohibitively expensive! Maybe if I had a big work presentation or something but...)

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, meara. You might have to consider a training collar. Skinner barks more than I would like, but the collar works for him. I left it in Florida because there isn't as much distraction here to make him bark. I might have to get a spray water bottle for the car though because he barks like crazy if we pass a deer or dog or about anything in the car.

In re salads and quinoa - I like to cut up some marinated artichoke hearts and add them to my salads. Adds a nice taste (and the next bite or two will taste sweet).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Marinated artichokes seem like such a decadent and luxurious treat to me. Yum.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
why I ever try to do anything on this day is beyond me. I am already mad at everyone.

Happy birthday Trudy!
Roommate discovered today she was exposed to a COVID positive person, so she started quarantine in her room few hours ago. I very much hope that she won't get sick, and that the two days that passed from exposure to discovery haven't exposed me to COVID as well (if, God forbid, she has it). I don't need to quarantine myself but I really wanted to see my parents before lockdown starts (and because holidays), and now I'm thinking that it might not be a good idea, even in "only in open air, with masks" policy I have.
