saturday february 21

today i decided to make a salad to go along with my dinner. it had been a while since i'd made a real, bona-fide salad, so i was pretty excited about it, and went all out; cut up a few veggies and had a nice palette of colours going. i put it in the fridge until the rest of my dinner was finished cooking, so i could eat them together. a few minutes later, i went to go grab it. somehow, i lost my grip on the bowl and it fell out of my hands, flipped over, and emptied the contents of the salad all over the inside of the fridge and the kitchen floor. lettuce and tomato and peppers everywhere. this was so discouraging that, after cleaning up, i almost didn't want to make a replacement salad. i'd been so into the idea of finally eating salad again though that i eventually convinced myself to do it. worth it.
