Nicoise In Neverland
Sun May 22 2005


I am here composing this entry, effectively putting off the chore that I have assigned myself today, which is to clean in the bathroom.

Notice I said "in the bathroom", thusly absolving myself from the irksome implication of cleaning "the bathroom" which of course would mean the "whole bathroom".

I have learned my lessons well from the FlyLady. If I thought I had to clean the whole thing today, I would not do ANY of it. I plan on doing HALF of it.

This rather goes against my usual philosophy, one of the tenets being, not doing anything half _ _ _ _ _. But I have seen the FlyLady Light and have learned to be content with a job half done. As it beats the heck out of a job not done at all.

I THINK this is progress.

We watched "Finding Neverland" last night. It was a very pleasant flick. I recommend it. Bring hankies.

I also have on hand the Lemony Snickett movie. But I have sternly forbidden myself from watching it until I have done my half-bath chores for the day.

Oh and listen, if you have never had it, you must find a recipe for ...... wait a minute....I'll get one for you.

Salad Nicoise

Oh my goodness. I was privileged to have eaten it at a bride's luncheon yesterday and nearly swooned it was so perfectly delicious. The only thing is instead of tuna, the hostess had used smoked salmon. Oh my....

I suppose, now that I think of it, most of you know all about this dish. But is was new to me. It is the PERFECT meal in my humble opinion. I plan to eat it often all summer. Just wait till we can add some tomatoes from the garden as a side dish!
(Broiled with parmesan) YUM!

Well, enough of this, I must away to the nether regions of domestic engineering.

Wish me luck!

    Finding Neverland... I saw that quite some time back.. Is it a new release?? I keep hearing about it.. I remember it as a real cute movie.
    The salad.. Yummy.. it looks like the french beans are green beans.. french cut.

    I have never had that particular salad combination, but I often do put tuna or smoked salmon in my salads. It is one of my favorite lunches. I've never thought to add green beans or potatoes, but it sounds like it could only be a good thing. :)

    As to the bathroom, if you set out to clean the sink and then you go clean the sink, you have done the whole job; ain't nothin' halfway about it! (I'm practicing my good grammar today. lol)

    It was delicious. I went back for a second helping.

    I suppose I could go clean in the bathroom, too. At least pick up the threads that Banshee manages to claw up from the rugs.

    Well, the sink could use a good scrub, but that's it. That's IT!

    Shalom

    The salad sounds wonderful except for the anchovies. I think I would leave those out, but put in some capers instead.
    I would consider cleaning in my bathroom, but I'm not home this week. I'll call home and have Hubby have the kids do it! That sounds better to me anyway...
