january 21st 2009 wednesday 9:48 pm MOM & DAD / 20 & 26 YRS. OLD / 1983 i love my parents and they love each other a lot, too. it's their anniversary today. 25 years together. anyway, this drink, made on a slight whim, tastes like a mixture of chai, coffee, and a hint of chocolate bananas even though bananas or chocolate is not located in this at all. reminds me of a drink i would get at an over-priced "smoothie" place although what i ordered consisted of a coffee base (instead of yogurt). 120 ml tazo spiced black tea latte concentrate 60 ml silk plus omega-3 dha soymilk 60 ml 2% regular cow's milk 15ml of starbucks liqueur ice (not optional) this salad, also made on a whim, tastes sweetly satisfying. i got home from work a little bit ago and looked in the refrigerator. there was a bin full of spring mix still waiting to be used so i heaped some into a bowl. i plucked some grapes from their vine, plopped them on top, and drizzled some raspberry vinaigrette (made by kraft with extra virgin olive oil) on to the salad. i found a small bag of walnuts in the pantry so i made something my mother recently showed me how to do. i whipped some egg whites with water then tossed the walnuts in the frothy mixture. in a separate bowl i mixed cinnamon, white sugar, and salt to which i used as a coating. i baked that and ten minutes later i put them into the salad. good late dinner.
