On yesterday’s menu was a delicious garden salad with arugula, spring mix lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pine nuts and strawberries featuring my homemade balsamic vinaigrette. I actually got the recipe idea from La Petite Tricoteuse. It’s just balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey and a dash of sea salt whisked together. It’s really delicious.
I hosted a little lunch today and became really inspired by these purple flower napkin rings. I thought they would look great with my teal napkins. I also brought out my teal and green maple leaf plates. A white rectangular platter, white salad bowl and yellow water pitcher were the rest of the serving ware that was needed.
I almost forgot to post about these beautiful earrings I got in Indianapolis when I went to see the Dalai Lama. Obviously I went on a teal bender on this trip. But I guess that isn’t much of a surprise to anyone since my apartment is decorated in shades of teal and seafoam and I wear a lot of teal. I ♥ teal!
Took me a little longer to read, but I finished another book. Weekend in Paris by Robyn Sisman was a pretty decent read. Light and fun, the characters and plot were relate-able. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a light read. The Friday Night Knitting Club series was good, but emotionally heavy, as was Memoirs of a Geisha. It was a nice pace from the heavier reads too, like LOTR. I look forward to reading other “light” books from my shelf.
It all started a few weeks ago when I realized that my legs were misaligned again; the right leg being almost an inch shorter than the left. (This happened before a couple of years ago when I was undergoing some physical therapy for some knee pain I was experiencing. The PT never did fix the issue, by the way.) So on realizing that my legs were misaligned, I decided to seek out a chiropractor to see if what they could do for me. I had heard a lot of good things from some friends of mine and really didn’t know where else to turn to get back into running.
