Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I
hope, whether or not you have a loved one, you are enjoying this day of love. I
know I am, I just got a perfect score on a test! It has been one crazy week. First,
last weekend we got a crazy snow storm where I live. Within 24 hours, we had
accumulated three or so inches… I know that sounds like nothing, but for almost
sea level… well it’s a big deal. I don’t have a car that drives in snow well,
so I was stuck at home all weekend. The roads down here were a mess! Ugh, can I
just say how much I don’t like snow? It’s just too cold and gross! Though one
of the fun things about the snow was the crazy snow ball fight that two
buildings got in to. It was amazing you guys! Once my roommates used all of the
snow on our deck I helped one of the girls take all of the bowls and a bucket to
get more snow! It was amazing to watch. During the crazy snow storm, we didn’t know
what to do so, like any college student, we walked to the nearest Redbox. We rented
two movies a day! It was great just hanging with the girls all weekend and
staying in my yoga’s all weekend!
Well, I made it through my first
crazy apartment moment. My toilet overflowed! I couldn’t believe it! There was
a clog when I got home, so doing what I have done before, I flushed it. Well that
made it overflow! I had one of my roommates come and help me, and we made a dam
to stop the flow of water. It took a call to my dad to turn off the water so we
could start cleaning up the mess it made! I told the girls that if we could
make it through that we could make it through anything!
Well enough of crazy stuff, and on
to the recipe! I absolutely love this salad!
