To be or not to be... sick

extreme dinner salad

Am I getting a cold? I'm not sure. I opted out of my last cooking class tonight regardless. Of the nights to miss I think it worked out ok it was tonight. For the last class you might remember we were creating our own dishes and so I didn't actually miss anything new. However, I would have liked to go, I just didn't have the energy. Instead I made a super tasty dinner salad with spinach, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, red onions, walnuts on top and strawberries on the side. I made a vinaigrette with some walnut oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, pink peppercorns, fresh squeezed lemon juice and salt. Finished off with some chocolate chips for dessert. :)

We're getting another veggie delivery tomorrow and we still have some left over from last week because of being away this weekend. I think I'm going to make a quiche tomorrow as well as some stock to use it all up. I've been wanting to make up some dough so I'll use part for the quiche and freeze the rest so I can make a pie or tarts or whatever I want when the mood strikes. Strawberries are almost in season... mmm, strawberry rhubarb pie.

I've loaded up on vitamin C and I've been drinking water and tea all day. I think the lack of sleep this weekend is what might have put me over the edge. I will not be brought down by a cold! I have a 4-day weekend coming up!

Something of interest... remember the cd that I bought at the Xavier Rudd concert that was broken? Today in the mail was a new cd, as well as the most recent cd for free! I was impressed.
