27. salad and green beans

Sat Feb 4, 2012, 10:08 PM

Feb 2012

A big romaine salad with grilled chicken, red peppers, cukes, avocados, and hot pepper rings, dressed with homemade mayo, balsamic vinegar and sumac, and a big pan of fresh green beans (sauteed again in last night's pan drippings, I'm in a routine with that).

My breakfast today was a new twist on the buttered coffee - I added cinnamon and chili powder to it. I think I'd like to retire so I can enjoy a giant mug of that unrushed every morning. My daughter thinks that's an acceptable justification for retiring but I'm not sure how to broach the subject with the husband.
