...a (fabulous lunch) break

...happy wednesday dear ones!!

well,

I CHOOSE to be happy today anyway!!!

because

we still don't know what's going on with this moving stuff ~

we are moving this weekend...

somewhere

I don't know where, but somewhere @^&% $#!

so yesterday, 

Jim inquired about a moving truck and the dude said that memorial weekend is

 THEeeee

 busiest weekend of the year to move

aaaaahhhhhhhh

and that he only had 1 truck left,

are you kidding me???

and the fees are double because of the holiday weekend!!!!

I'm not making this stuff up

I wonder if the airlines own the truck rental places too?!

~ gouged coming and going!!

seriously,

 these are the things I think about

at 2:02 am

... 

~ breath ~

5...4...3...

2...

much better

and I didn't even have to get to 1 this time :)

and truth be told

it's really almost comical now

at least that's what I tell myself to keep from

jumpin' on a bike and threewheelie-ing it to the beach

loosing my sanity

(is wheelie-ing even a word? well it is now!!)

HA!!!

I bet you envisioned a motorcycle wheelie, didn't you???

don't be silly

I'm odd

~ not stupid!!

anyways...

I decided to take a (fabulous lunch) break today

and treat myself to

one of my absolute favorite salads

A 

Pear Salad with and Bacon, Gorgonzola and Candied Walnuts

mmmmmm 

doesn't this just look sooooo yummy?!

Well

below I've included a recipe so you can have one too :)

Pear Salad with and Bacon, Gorgonzola and Candied Walnuts

(makes 4 tasty lunch salads)

1/3 cup apricot nectar

 2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/8 teaspoon ground mustard

3 medium-large pears, peeled, halved, and cored

2 green onions (sliced)

4-6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)

1 cup gorgonzola (crumbled)

(if you don't like this cheese, you can substitute with goat cheese) 

 1 cup candied walnuts

12 cups mixed salad greens

~ Directions ~

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the first four ingredients; shake well. Combine the pears and dressing in a large serving bowl. (to keep the pears from browning)  Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Just before serving, arrange pear mixture onto four beds of beautiful salad greens. Then sprinkle the tops with the green onions, candied walnuts, gorgonzola and bacon crumbles.

~ and Viola!
