"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

It is so fun to cook with friends. One night I babysat for Fran and George. When they got home Fran and I stayed up to fix some food she needed to serve for the weekend. This summer our family visited some dear friends in Charleston and Lisa and I would stay up planning and cooking food for the next day. This salad is one of the things she served.
