Thanks to you all.

I went to a party at my inlaws today. It was an anniversary party in the grand ballroom of a big hotel.

They had the cocktail hour, and then the big dinner.

They actually had a choice of chicken, fish or vegetarian.

Alan chose vegetarian (I chose Salmon). I may not buy it any more but I'll take it at a nice dinner. It was delicious.

Alan's dish came with some poofy pastry looking thing with all sorts of veggies inside. He said it was delicious.

Of course they had dessert and I treated myself. I only do this when I'm at an event. The next event will be in a few months. Then I'll have another little piece of something.

Oh, I actually had a small glass of Cabernet at this affair. I don't drink. But I know that one little glass of red wine is no big thing and is good for the heart so I let my self enjoy it. Alan started yelling that I should not drink. I just looked at him and said "I haven't had a glass of wine in 5 years, are you serious?" Everybody laughed. It was delicious. You see I can appreciate the taste because I don't drink and I never tasted this particular brand of wine.

I probably won't have another glass until I go to a wedding or some kind of fancy event again.

And when we got home, oh, you must hear about my broccoli sprouts.

I harvested them from the tray. I put them in a big bowl of cool water, and the hulls came off.

Then I put them in my salad spinnner and then I put them in a big bowl and now they are in my fridge.

I got hungry at about 7 or so so I made a sprout salad.

I took the fenugreek, the brand new broccoli sprouts (oh my god, the flowers and the colors), and I added some tomatoes, and put some garlic powder, some fresh ground pepper and a dash of salt, and a splash of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh lemon juice.

Let me tell you. THIS WAS THE BEST SALAD I'VE EATEN, and I HAVE EATEN SALADS!!!!

I could eat this way for the rest of my life.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I added some of the radish sprouts. THEY TASTE JUST LIKE RADISHES.

You have got to try this. It's the best salad in the world.

The fenugreek gives a sort of crunch and texture to it.

Ladies.

IT WAS GOOD!!!
