Salad bars in grocery stores
are so wonderful. I didn't feel like cooking tonight so I just went to the store and made the most wonderful salad and it only cost $3.99.

Just thought I'd share. :hi:

2. Isn't it great?
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 09:11 PM by proud2Blib
My son wanted something different and that was no problem.

Last week, I bought the best stuffed portabella mushroom. We put it on the grill and OMG talk about fabulous.

I just love not having to cook. No way could I begin to figure out how to stuff a portabella mushroom. And I don't want to know either! :) I just want to eat it.

13. We don't have any of those here
Sounds like a neat store.

We do have some of those new WalMart grocery stores, but, well, you know I don't shop there.

6. $3.99? You can make a per-ounce or per-pound salad for $3.99??
Wow. I can't seem to get away without at least a pound of fruit for dessert...

Damn, I said I was going to bed half an hour ago, I think. Shit.

'night all!

8. I think it is 3.59 a pound
and I wasn't all that hungry. So it was basically a lettuce salad with a few tomato slices, some mushrooms and beets. (I think it should be a law that all salad bars should have beets)

But I did buy some nice nectarines for dessert. They weren't on the salad bar though.

10. We were doing this activity at work one time
and we had to fill out this questionnaire. One of the questions was what is your favorite restaurant. I said any that deliver to my house. Another question was what is your favorite spaghetti recipe. I said the kind that comes in the jar.
